[SBE] Passing of Larry Bloomfield

[Keith Kintner]

Larry was a long-time friend, a great engineer, educator, and promoter of the 
SBE.  When he was in Oshkosh in August with the Road Show, he had several very 
up-to-the-moment powerpoints, including the new EAS changes.  He had a concise 
presentation about EAS that lasted around 45 minutes and covered what our Summer 
WBA/SBE workshop covered in a half-day.  He was truly deserving of the Educator 
of the Year award he received a few years back.  While he was in Oshkosh, he had 
told me that this might be his last Road Show.  I didn't realize until this 
morning how prophetic that was.  He had visited nearly every SBE Chapter in the 
lower 48, and has been face-to-face with more SBE members than anyone in our 
organization.  He will be missed by many of us.  When I first met him, he was 
the Chief Engineer of perhaps the first tapeless, all-digital radio station in 
California.  He enjoyed his annual treks across the country, and the opportunity 
to share his knowledge with us.  I am very saddened with his passing.

Subject: [SBE] Passing of Larry Bloomfield

It is with sadness that I inform everyone of the passing of Larry Bloomfield. 
Larry was an active member of the Society, and was a past educator of the year. 
Every year he tirelessly traveled around the country to SBE chapters with his 
Taste of NAB road show, giving members who would not otherwise be exposed to new 
products and technologies a look at them.  He was a friend of SBE, often handing 
out membership applications at his road show, and encouraging non-members to 
join up. He had a thirst for knowledge, and as we say in the business had been 
around enough to know broadcasting inside out.  Our thoughts go out to his wife 
Carolee and sons Larry and Tom. Services will be held at the Burns Funeral Home, 
in Florence Or. on November 14, 2010
