David Bloom was one of those reporters that I liked...that is to say, I knew his name which only seems to suggest some sort of appreciation of his journalism.

In any case, for whatever reason, I will miss David Bloom and I was actually bothered by the news of his passing. I know I am not the only one. The following is a piece that I think is written very well:
