The Metropolis of North Miami is mourning the lack of former Elected Metropolis Clerk Simon “Si” Bloom, Jr., who handed away on Sunday, June 1, on the age of 85. Bloom died in North Miami, Florida, the place he resided.
Bloom served as North Miami’s Elected Metropolis Clerk from Might 16, 1985, till Might 24, 2005. Over the course of 4 phrases, he grew to become one of many metropolis’s longest-serving clerks.
A proud veteran of the U.S. Air Power, Bloom served as a JAG officer throughout the Vietnam Struggle. After returning to civilian life, he practiced legislation within the non-public sector and later joined Taurus Manufacturing as normal counsel, a job he held for 35 years.
Bloom remained dedicated to public service effectively past his retirement. He grew to become an educator and devoted himself to volunteer work, together with supporting fellow veterans and singing within the choir. He was particularly pleased with his involvement with Shake-A-Leg Miami, a corporation centered on empowering people with disabilities by adaptive water sports activities and associated applications.
“Our former Elected Metropolis Clerk, Si Bloom, will probably be deeply missed,” stated Alix Desulme, Ed.D., Mayor of North Miami. “As North Miami’s present mayor and former Metropolis Clerk, I’m impressed by Mr. Bloom’s lifelong dedication to serving his neighborhood. As a metropolis, we rejoice the life and legacy of a longtime North Miami resident who embodied the spirit of our neighborhood by spending his life and profession giving again to others.”
The household of Simon “Si” Bloom, Jr. will honor him throughout a non-public memorial service.
