He was born, and lived throughout his life, in Ozone Park, Queens.

From 1947, when Mayor William O'Dwyer appointed him as a City Magistrate, until his death, Judge Balsam served on the bench of several courts, including the Family Court for over ten years, and, as noted above, the New York State Supreme Court for eight years. In 1968, Justice Balsam presided at the trial in which Herman B. Ferguson and Arthur Harris were convicted of conspiring to murder civil rights leader Whitney M. Young, Jr., as part of what was described as a "black revolutionary plot." Balsam was active in numerous charitable organizations, including the Ozone Park Jewish Center and the Queens Jewish Center. He was the son of Isaac and Sarah (Eisig) Balsam, and married Caroline Sager (November 13, 1908 - September 17, 2005) in 1931. They had two children, Joel and Alan, an attorney and a physician, respectively, and nine grandchildren. (en) |
