Vasile Carstean

December 10, 1953 — April 15, 2025

Manchester, NH

Vasile (“Billy”) Carstean, 71, of Manchester, NH passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by love, with the love of his life by his side on Tuesday, April 15, 2025 at his residence in Manchester, NH.

Mr. Carstean was born on December 10, 1953, in Putna, Suceava, Romania, the son of the late Vasile Ioan and Irina Carstean.

Prior to his retirement, Mr. Carstean was employed at Pizza Express where he worked for many years.

He had a deep love for nature and could often be found outdoors. Whether he was casting a line on a quiet lake, tending to his garden with care, or simply taking in the beauty of the world around him, being outside brought him peace and joy. His appreciation for the natural world was evident in the way he nurtured plants to life and found serenity in the stillness of a fishing spot.

Members of his family include; the love of his life for 35 years, Lucica Pop, of Manchester, NH; a son, Peter Carstean, also of Manchester, NH; one step-daughter, Roxana Scarpino of Merrimack County; one step-son, Ciprian Susca of Belknap County; one brother, Aurel Carstean, and a sister, Eniko Ciobanu.
