Carmen “Nooch” Delessio the owner of Carmen’s Barber Shop, Maybrook, passed away at his home on Wednesday, May 24, 2023. The son of Felice and Mafalda Troina Delessio, he was born on November 2, 1931 in Bronx, NY. He was 91 years old. He was a Veteran of the Air Force. He worked until two months ago. He was retired from the Cadet Barber Shop, West Point, NY and from Orange Farm, which is now Valley View. He had his own barber shop in Campbell Hall when he was 15 years old. He always worked in the barber shop on Tower Avenue, Maybrook. The family would like to thank Dr. Rametta, Kim, his caregiver, Steve and Carmen’s brother, Phil. He had three sayings: Stick and stay is bound to pay; Don’t get fed up with the set-up; and The boss wears a different hat, not that he followed the rules, he did things his way. He loved to dance and sing.
