Obituary Preview: Carmen A. Balsama, 95 years, recently of Delanco and Edgewater Park, NJ and currently residing in the New Jersey Veterans Memorial Home in Menlo Park, NJ, passed away peacefully on January 11, 2024, after his recent decline in health.

He was the youngest of a large family, born to Carmen and Celestina (Centuola) Balsama in Waterford, NJ and grew up in the South Jersey and Philadelphia areas, along with his siblings: Marie, Rosaria, Joseph, Albert, Rita, Mary, Anna and John (all deceased).

Carmen was married on April 7, 1951, to Mary E. Ruediger (“Betty”) for 63 years, until she passed away on January 20, 2015. After having six children and raising them mostly in the Pennsauken, NJ and the Delanco, NJ areas, they later moved to Edgewater Park, NJ for their retirement.

He served on the USS Dyess (DDR880) as a Seaman in the engine room. His naval service earned him a National Defense Service Medal and a Navy Occupation Service Medal (Europe Clasp). After being honorably discharged from the Navy, Carmen worked for more than 30 years in various positions at the former U.S. Pipe & Foundry in Burlington, NJ until he retired there as an equipment welder. After retiring, Carmen and Betty went on cruises, took many trips around the country exploring the U.S. and went to Italy, which was a highlight of their lives. One of Carmen’s favorite activities for years was going to the casinos in Atlantic City and later casinos over the bridge in Pennsylvania and closer to home as he got older, always playing the slot machines. And lastly, the pleasure he really enjoyed in the last few years of his life was watching golf tournaments on TV every weekend. Who knew since he never played during his life or even mentioned his fascination with golf!

Departed: 12/08/2023 (Riverside)

Obituary Preview: Richard Michael Nemchik, father of two children, grandfather of 5, and great-grandfather of 10, passed away peacefully on December 8th, 2023, at the age of 92. He and his late wife, Lorraine Marie Nemchik, were residents of Delanco for over 60 years.

Richard was born in Burlington City to Andrew and Theresa Nemchik on October 24, 1931. The youngest of 9 children, he grew up helping on his family’s farm until he met and married his wife, Lorraine, in 1953. Shortly after, Lorraine and Richard bought a home in Delanco, NJ where they raised their two children, Richard Jr. and Janet.

He loved being outside--whether it was at the shore, in his backyard tending to his garden full of peppers, tomatoes, and eggplants, or in his workshop tinkering with an old bicycle. If Richard was inside, he was likely playing cards, eating a cheesesteak, or reading, as he was an avid reader. In addition, his experience growing up on a farm instilled in him a deep love for animals. He passed away from complications of heart disease in his daughter, Janet’s, home in Virginia.
