Salvatore Anthony Bellacomo

Salvatore Anthony Bellacomo, age 74, of Cedar Knolls, New Jersey, died on Saturday, March 14, 2026 at Morristown Medical Center in Morristown, New Jersey.

Born in Brooklyn, New York to the late Joseph and Marion Bellacomo, he moved with his family to Budd Lake, New Jersey in 1956, where he lived for most of his life before residing in various ARC of Morris group homes for the last thirty years. Sal worked as a kitchen aide at Picatinny Arsenal for eighteen years until his retirement in 1996. A longtime parishioner of St. Jude Thaddeus Roman Catholic Church in Budd Lake and a member of the Knights of Columbus Council #6100, he found joy in arts and crafts, dining out with friends, and bowling. Known affectionately as a “social butterfly,” Sal loved being around people and brought warmth and friendliness to everyone he met.

In addition to his parents, Sal was predeceased by his brother-in-law, Michael Legora.

He is survived by his siblings, Mary Weippert (Fred), Elizabeth Legora, Josephine Kroom (Henny), and Joseph Bellacomo Jr. (Wendy); his nieces and nephews, Lisa Bowers, Laura Bell (Derek), Angela Joyce (Christopher), Joseph Kroom (Carolyn Rose), Michele Arnold (Michael), Andrew Bellacomo, and Emily Rose Bellacomo; and his great-nieces and great-nephews, Alexis, Alyssa, Makenna, Caiden, Connor, and Liam.
