STUART, Fla. – Donald Henry Blyn was born in Brooklyn, N.Y., Aug. 7, 1929, to Martha Geyer and Morris Blyn, and passed away on Jan. 12, 2021.
Often he told stories of his days trolley car-jumping with boyhood friends from the neighborhood, Bay Ridge, back to Coney Island where he had spent his earliest days in childhood. Donald’s first memory was that of the Coney Island boardwalk fire of 1932, as he stood on a roof as a small boy of two years and 11 months, viewing the flames as they burned their way toward the family’s apartment building near Surf Avenue.
When asked how he was capable of memory at such an early age, he answered that it was a sight he could never forget.
