Gary Stuart Blatt (z"l), 70, passed away February 28th, 2021 in Pocatello, ID. Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, he later resided in New Jersey and then sprouted southern roots in South Carolina before coming to live with his daughter in Idaho. He worked for the US Army for over 40 years in NJ and SC.
A friend of felines, particularly his departed companions Diamond and Catamaran, he was also the family chef whose favorite ingredient, he always said, was love (especially if schmeared on a bagel). A connoisseur of movies, fossils, antiquing, and sweet tea, Gary dabbled in law as a hobby, was an art collector, and was always gleeful at the sight of a hummingbird.
Alav ha-shalom. He is survived by his daughter Dr. Samantha Blatt, son Joshua Blatt, son-in-law John Gonzalez, grandson Parker, and his sisters Susan Glazer and Amy Halper.
In memoriam donations can be made to the Wounded Warrior Project.
Arrangements are under the direction of the Cornelison Funeral Home, 431 N. 15th Ave., Pocatello. Condolences may be sent to the family online at www.cornelisonfh.com
