Day

Richard R “Rick” Carbone, 79, of North Shore Road passed away surrounded by his family,

on Friday Evening, January 2, 2026, due to complications following surgery.

Born on June 9, 1946, in Niskayuna. He was the son of the late Charles and Mary

(Zebrowski) Carbone, who lived in Scotia until his family moved to Sacandaga Lake

where Rick planted roots and started his own family and business (Rick Carbone

Excavating). He dedicated more than 50 years serving thousands of customers around the

great Sacandaga Lake region. Work was his true passion and he continued to work up until his

final days.

Rick was a well-recognized member of his community always lending a hand to fellow

neighbors and served as a past member and past president of the Hadley-Luzerne Lions Club and

the constable of the Town of Day. He continued as a current member of the local gun and

ATV club. When Rick was not spending time with his family, he was an avid sportsman and

enjoyed something every season had to offer. This included taking full advantage of living

on the Sacandaga with boating, water and snow skiing and daily swims. Rick enjoyed any

motorized activity and had a pension for speed. Other activities were snowmobiling,

enjoying his motorcycle, long ATV rides with his friends and family or just cruising in his

corvette. He was an avid reader and enjoyed listening to his daily podcasts.

Rick was predeceased by his parents; a brother Charles Carbone of Scotia; and a brother-

in-law Frank Julian of Watervliet.

Survivors include his loving wife of 34 years Jane Carbone

of Day; and his children: Shannon James of Glens Falls, John Carbone of Glens Falls,

Heather (Kevin) Hanna of Lake Luzerne; and stepsons Jamie Hayes of Hadley and Donald

(Michelle) Hayes of Lake Luzerne. Rick had 9 grandchildren: Ryan Matuszak, Abigail

Matuszak, Cameron Hanna, Reigan Hanna, Colby Hanna, Hannah Johnson, Reice Hayes,

Connor Hayes, and Ethan Hayes. Great grandchildren include Weston, Cooper, and Kellen;
