Oresti “Joe” Corsini, Jr.

Oresti “Joe” Corsini, Jr., 92, of Merrimack, NH passed away on Monday, October 19th, 2026 at Southern NH Medical Center in Nashua, NH after a brief period of declining health.

Born in Dedham, MA on February 13th, 1934, he was one of two children to the late Grace (Squillante) and Oresti J. Corsini, Sr. He was raised in Dedham, MA and was a graduate of Dedham High School.

Joe served in the U.S. Air Force from 1953 to 1957 and received an honorable discharge for his service. He then went on to work at Lockheed-Martin for many years, starting as a draftsman and working up to a component engineer. Over the years, he went from using a drafting table to learning CAD system as changes were made in this field. Joe was always willing to learn and change with the times.

Joe loved to work with wood and crafted many items for family and friends over the years; from furniture to cradles and a dollhouse that his great grandchildren still enjoy. Throughout the years, Joe loved spending time with family creating memories vacationing, attending sporting events, concerts, plays, family outings and being the one to take his granddaughters on their first driving lesson. In the kitchen he enjoyed making homemade ravioli, tortellini, pizza and pizzelles surrounded by family. Traditions were key in his life.

He was pre-deceased by his wife of 67 years, Martha (Zimmer) in 2023 along with two children, Joseph Corsini and Michelle Corsini and his brother, Richard Corsini.

He will be forever loved and remembered by his two children, Pauline and her husband Brian Landrigan and Paul Corsini, all of Merrimack; three grandchildren, Marissa Landrigan, Meaghan and her husband Jeremy Brown and Caitlin and her husband Aaron Greeninger and three great-grandchildren Zaila, Bonnie and Eleanora along with his sister Edie and husband Robert Rugolettias well as several nieces and nephews.

A private burial will be held at Knollwood Cemetery in Canton, MA at the convenience of the family. A Memorial Mass will be held at a later date with information to be updated on the funeral home website.
