As the widow of Harry Bloom, I would like to insert the final two paragraphs of the Harry Saul Bloom Wikipedia site with the following paragraph which contain the true, authentic and updated facts about the end of Harry Bloom's life. These are the paragraphs:

In 1963 Bloom left South Africa for Kenya due to his opposition to apartheid. He went on to London where he met Sonia Copeland, a journalist and writer. In 1967 he was appointed Senior Lecturer in Law at the University of Kent, and married Sonia Copeland in Canterbury. With founding Law Professor, Patrick Fitzgerald, he helped to set up the first Law Department at the University which was rooted in an interdisciplinary ethos. Bloom went on to collaborate with Igor Alexander, now Emeritus Professor at Imperial College, on the societal impact of computer networks and then worked for a newly set up Unit for Legal Research in Computer and Communications, which considered the legal protection of computer software and retrieval of statutes. This involved meetings with the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO), one of the specialized agencies of the United Nation, which was created in l967 "to encourage creative activity and to promote the protection of intellectual property throughout the world." Many of the components of his work, and the articles he wrote, had a significant impact in the early days of the transition from the offline into the online world. He has been remembered "as the founder of the teaching of the law affecting the media in the UK." (http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.clsr.2013.01.001). Personal Illness and death[edit] During the late 'seventies, Bloom suffered from a series of minor strokes, but was able to continue working on his research work up to his retirement from the University, and after, attending WIPO Conferences in Geneva, and continuing to publish articles in legal journals. A new edition of his book Episode in the Transvaal, was re-published in September 1981, less than two months after his death, by Second Chance Press, to many favourable reviews. Bloom became more seriously ill during l980, and he died with his wife at his side, on July 28th 1981 aged 68. Harry Bloom is buried in Canterbury Cemetery close to the writer, Joseph Conrad's grave. His life, in the centenary of his birth, 1913 - 2013, was celebrated on November 5th 2013,  in Canterbury by his many colleagues, former students, family and friends in appreciation of a remarkable man who was a visionary, freedom fighter, writer, pioneer, whose work was ‘decades in front of its time’,  as well as a teacher, a scholar and a friend to many. (ref: Tributes to Harry Bloom on the occasion of the Centenary of his birth published by UKC on November 2013,& a personal biography for family written by his wife). His first wife, Beryl Bloom, continued to live in Cape Town and died at Victoria Court (3) on 28 Sept 2009, aged 88. JonathanWalkerMD (talk) 06:53, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
