Obituary of Thomas W. Balsamo

Thomas W. Balsamo, 76, of Halfmoon, NY, beloved husband of Dianna K. Breaux Balsamo, peacefully entered into eternal life surrounded by his loving family on Sunday, June 29, 2025.

Born in Brooklyn, New York, he was the son of the late Anthony Balsamo and the late Veronica Cotter Balsamo Fabian (Frank). He was a proud graduate of Brentwood High School, Class of 1967.

Tom was a hard-working and self-made man. He was the owner, operator, and proprietor of Clean Cut Carpet in Halfmoon and served as a contractor for Carpet One for over 30 years. His first love was the Lord Jesus Christ. A passionate fan of baseball, Tom especially loved his New York Yankees—win or lose, he was faithful through it all.
