Arthur L. Blutstein OBITUARY

Dr. Arthur Lewis Blutstein, 88, of Boca Raton, Florida, died Monday, December 29, 2025.

He is survived by his devoted wife of 30 years, Millie Malawski Blutstein; his children, Laurie Allen and Allan Blutstein (Rachael Goldfarb); his grandchildren, Danielle and Justin Allen, and Eden, Ben, Adam, and Elliot Blutstein; his sister, Suzanne Mayesh (Maurice); his niece, Flora Glouberman (Irwin Weiss), and nephew, Josh Mayesh; and his stepsons, Barry Malawski (Sandra) and their daughters Lianna and Jadyn Malawski, and Scott Malawski (Lisa) and Lisa’s son Anthony Young.

Born to Dr. Samuel and Mrs. Ruth (Moed) Blutstein on May 10, 1937, Arthur grew up in Tudor Village, an enclave of Ozone Park in Queens, New York. He graduated second in his class at John Adams High School and, by all accounts, was the neighborhood’s second-best stickball player. He attended Columbia University before earning his dental degree from New York University, as his father had before him.

Arthur began his dental career while serving in the U.S. Army in Germany, where he met his first wife, Lonnie (Balint) of Oakland, California. They married in Switzerland in 1964 and settled on Long Island two years later. Arthur opened a dental practice in Woodbury, a hamlet in the Town of Oyster Bay, with Lonnie supporting him as the office receptionist. Their marriage endured until her death in 1993.

Arthur’s life took a new turn in 1995 when he married Millie, a widow from nearby Massapequa, New York. Shortly thereafter, he retired from dentistry and moved to Florida. He enjoyed pinochle, genealogy, Little League baseball, crossword puzzles, and spirited conversations about current events and life’s injustices.

Interment will be at Mt. Lebanon Cemetery in Glendale, Queens, New York, on January 4, 2026.
