We regret to inform you of the Petirah of Mr. Gary Blum Z”L, who was Niftar early this morning following an illness. He was 59.
Gary and his wife Dalia of Dalgar caterers (Toras Aron Hall) are renowned Baalei Chasadim, and among their Chasadim would sponsor food to organizations and others. During power outages, Gary would immediately bring out refrigerated trucks for neighbors and others to use so their food wouldn’t spoil.
He leaves behind his wife, and several children.
The Levaya is scheduled to take place at 4:00 PM today, Tisha B’Av, at the Lakewood Chapel, 613 Ramsey Avenue, with Kevurah in Eretz Yisroel.
Baruch Dayan Ha’emes.
Oish, Nebech. BD”E.
He was such a Tzaddik.
And sick for so many years.
So, so, sad.
I dealt with him once to help a friend who couldn’t pay for the wedding.
He let me pay him slowly, over a few weeks, AFTER the wedding.
I’m sure hundreds of similar stories are gonna come out.
May he be a huge Meilitz Yosher for all of Klal Yisroel.
Is this the Blum from raintree?
No
Such a special family. Quiet unassuming people but filled with holiness and kindness. May Hashem comfort them in this sad time.
When the first Bais Hatavshil openen in the former Betzalel school lunch room
Mr. Blum sponsored most of the food to get the place going.
Wow what a special person
We remember him from his days with Greenwald Caterers
A huge mensch a gem of a person
Gary was big Tadizk and he opened his house for everyone to come daven and learn Torah with him!! He surely going to be missed by his neighbor!!!
Such a fine Yid in every sense of the word
He will be missed
I’m sure he will be pushing for Mashiach to come already!
more than 20 years ago my wife backed into his car and dented it on east 8th street (former kitchen of Greenwald caterers) and he just said let it go
extraordinary nice person!
Bde
Baruch Dayen haemes. May his wife, children, and family find a nechama. Wonderful person and wonderful family.
