Car Equipment Mourns Albert Dyment, 53

SEPTEMBER 29—Coworkers at the Coney Island Overhaul Shop are mourning the recent untimely passing of Car Inspector Albert Dyment. Brother Dyment, who did under-car inspections at the Shop, suffered a back injury at work three months ago and went for an MRI, said CED Recording Secretary Eugene Bleynis.

The MRI revealed that Dyment had late-stage pancreatic cancer which was inoperable. After three months of care, he died in active status on September 15 and his funeral was held three days later.

Bleynis remembered him a very motivated and well-respected worker, and noted that he was active with the union, running for shop chairman before his illness forced him to stop working.

"He was kind, and loved photography, and loved to travel," Bleynis said.

Dyment also worked in construction and loved remodeling. He is survived by two children, a son, 17, and a daughter, 22. He had ten years with New York City Transit.
