Irwin (Irky) Seymour Rosenbloom, son of Bessie Graff Rosenbloom and Rufus Rosenbloom died April 14, 2017 in Del Ray Beach, Florida. Mr. Rosenbloom was born in Rochester, New York December 22, 1930. He was predeceased by his beloved wife Paula (Goldberg) Rosenbloom and two young daughters, Bobbi Gail and Amy Meg. He is survived by his daughter Cathy R. Rozenberg, son Jeff (Linda) Rosenbloom, five grandchildren and two great grandchildren. He is also survived by his companion and significant other Rochelle Russell.
He attended public high school except for one year at Manlius Military school, where his father had also attended. He was in the first entering freshman class at Brandeis University at its inception, and finished his B.S. in Business Administration from the University of Rochester. He was honorably discharged as a corporal from the US Army in 1954 and served as a radio operator in Alaska during the Korean conflict. He was quietly elated to be part of an honor trip to Washington in recent years. Rosenbloom was a 32nd degree mason and a member of the Zenobia Shriners.
With his wife, Paula, he helped pioneer Tay-Sachs disease screening and education throughout Ohio in the 1970s and was involved in charitable work for organizations including the Sunshine Children's Home and the March of Dimes, as well as the National Board of Tay Sachs and Allied Diseases. Both Irwin and Paula had been recognized with humanitarian awards for their charitable and philanthropic work with children. He enjoyed being active with golf and bowling until a freak softball accident changed his vision over thirty years ago.
After working at the Ilex Optical Company in Rochester, New York, he moved with his family to Toledo in 1959. Mr. Rosenbloom achieved one of his goals, and owned and operated The Commercial Bindery, Inc., for many years. Always demonstrating an incredibly strong work ethic, Mr. Rosenbloom put himself through school, worked hard to support his family as well as build a business, and committed many random acts of generosity behind the scenes to strangers as well as friends. Known to strike up conversations with strangers, he often felt more comfortable in those situations than typical social settings. He was respected for his expertise in the stock market, his green thumb in the garden, and those who truly knew him knew that the curmudgeon on the outside was a thin veneer.
Those wishing to make donations in his memory may do so to the American Cancer Society , Tay Sachs and Allied Disease Foundation, or the charity of their choice .
Services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, April 21, 2017 in the Robert H. Wick/Wisniewski Funeral Home, 2426 North Reynolds Rd. (419-535-5840). Interment Beth Shalom Cemetery, Oregon, OH.
