Francis Carmine Cea

friend, who passed away on November 22, 2025. Born and raised on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, “Down the

Bowery,” Francis carried with him the grit, warmth, and spirit of his beloved neighborhood throughout his life.

A lifelong sports enthusiast and die-hard New York Yankees fan, he shared his love of the game with family and

friends, passing down his passion and knowledge of the sport to those around him. He also had a deep love for dogs

and animals, which was reflected in his lifelong support of causes like the ASPCA.

Francis worked for the United States Postal Service for 39 years, dedicating his career to service and reliability.

Beyond his work, he was a generous supporter of charitable organizations, including the Make A Wish Foundation

St. Jude Hospital, Wounded Warriors Project, Alzheimer’s Association and the ASPCA.

He dedicated his life to his beloved wife, Lisa Cea, for over 49 ½ wonderful years. He loved, respected, and provided

for her throughout their life together, and in his final days, his greatest wish was to care for her and ensure her well-being.

Together, they raised two children who have gone on to achieve great success in their personal and

professional lives—a testament to his unwavering dedication, guidance, and love.

Above all, Francis will be remembered for his loyalty, kindness, and devotion to family. His warmth, humor, and

steadfast presence will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Lisa Cea, his two children Daniel and Tiffany and extended family and friends who

cherished him.
