Lived in Amsterdam. Married to G. Huisman. Buyer and seller/holder of power of attorney at NV Overzeesche Cultuur en Handelsmij. Dutch Reformed. Member of the resistance belonging to the group Reintje de Vos and later the Binnenlandse Strijdkrachten (Domestic Armed Forces).
After the occupying forces dissolved the Union on 13 December 1941, Blom began participating in various forms of illegal work. He collected weapons and ammunition and in July 1944 he joined the Reintje de Vos hit squad, which later became part of the Binnenlandse Strijdkrachten (Domestic Armed Forces). As adjutant to the leader of the Bons gang, Blom kept the records of food, money and documents handed out.
On the afternoon of Tuesday 27 March 1945, a resistance meeting was held with the leader of the Reintje de Vos gang, Bons. Due to the betrayal of an upstairs neighbour, the Sicherheitspolizei raided the meeting and arrested Blom, Bons and several other members of the Knokploeg. They were taken to the detention centre on Weteringschans and put on the Todeskandidaten list of people eligible for execution in reprisal.
On 11 April 1945, he was executed by firing squad in Zijpe along with nine others, five of whom were members of his gang, in reprisal for the sabotage of a bridge in Zijpe. Their bodies were temporarily buried in a mass grave in the dunes near Overveen.
His name is on the monument De Opgeheven Hand (The Raised Hand) near Burgerbrug.
