I’ll never forget all the Christmas Eves we all spent together in Iowa City. We’d all be cozied up with some hummus and hot apple cider, sneaking Jordan almonds and spying new decorations while listening to seemingly tall tales of childhood from all the Bloom boys. I love you, Uncle Greg. My thoughts are with you, Aunt Nora, Heather and KC.

I played basketball and softball (it’s what we had) at ACS in Beirut for two years. I can still clearly see his jumper. He scored 36 points (two at a time!) one time with a deadly precision.

I also remember chugging three bottles of Lebanese wine in the back of a little shop on Hamra as preparation for going to Le Fin du Monde nightclub across the street on Hamra.

I think most of his most egregious deeds were in the company of one Jack Coco - and I suspect the stories are largely true.

My condolences on your loss.

Nora, I send you my sympathy. I always enjoyed working with Greg at the Insurance company. Norma

Nora, Heather & KC,

My condolences on Greg’s passing. It was nice reading about his life history and the life spent with you, Nora. I know it’s been especially difficult over the past several years and it will take time to work through your grief. But hold on to all those fond memories of Greg and let time be a healing factor. Always know you have friends that will keep you in their thoughts and are only a phone call away when you need their support or an ear for listening.

So sorry for your loss Nora. I know he was your soulmate. Thinking of you and your family at this difficult time . Hugs and prayers for healing❤️
