 | | Blum never missed a meeting in more than a half-century with the East Pittsburgh Rotary Club, formerly known as the East Liberty Rotary Club, to which he made a "substantial financial gift," said his nephew, attorney Robert Blum. |
 | | Blum, who was born and raised in Oakland, began his career with the family business at age 12, working after school and on weekends. |
 | | Blum is survived by nieces, Baila Krimsly-Guadio, of Atlanta, Linda Diebold, of Barrington, R.I., and Nancy Blum of Boston; nephews, Jeffrey Blum, of Squirrel Hill, Robert Blum, of Greensburg, Westmoreland County, and Richard Blum, of Myrtle Beach, S.C. He was predeceased by a son, Jerrold Blum; a sister, Rebecca; and brothers, Max and Harry. |
