David Balacaier David Balacaier

TBS Charter Member, David William Balacaier, passed away at the age of 92, on Monday, November 5, 2007. His ashes were lovingly collected by his nephew, Arnie Goldberg and his niece Andrea Goldberg to take back to the family plot in Queens, New York.

David was born in the second decade of the last century, March 22, 1915, in Newark, New Jersey. He was the second child of Isaac and Rose Balacaier and the second of their children to be born deaf. Only their third child, Harriet, was not affected by whatever caused David and his sister Malvina's deafness.

In the past, I've worked as a potter, as a writer, and as a teacher.
