Joseph Cimino Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jul. 20, 2025.
Joseph Anthony "Joe" Cimino, passed away peacefully on June 1, 2025, with his family by his side. The cause of death was complications from prostate cancer. He was 62 and lived in Manhattan, New York and Redding, Connecticut.

Joe was born on September 17, 1962, the middle child of seven, at Misericordia Hospital in the Bronx, New York, to Margaret Mary "Peggy" (née Langan) and Dr. Joseph Anthony Cimino. He was a graduate of Sleepy Hollow High School and Dickinson College, where he was a member of the Phi Kappa Sigma fraternity, Raven's Claw Society, co-captained the lacrosse team and, most importantly, met the love of his life, Cindy Hall.

Joe worked as a sound and film editor at Spin Cycle Post, a prop master for Theatre Works USA, and Director of Operations for Grahame Fowler. He was a polymath and could seemingly fix, mend, and build anything, and often did so at their Connecticut home, as well as for many of his children's school events. His greatest passion was his family and spending time with Cindy and their children, Nicolas and Natalie.

Joe leaves behind a legacy of love, decency and kindness, and the memories of many barbecues, swim parties, bonfires, hikes in Pocantico and Connecticut, long conversations, funny stories, fraternal counsel and practical advice.

He is survived by his wife Cindy; children Nicolas and Natalie; mother Peggy; mother-in-law Edith Hall Friedheim; siblings Andrea Cimino, Laura (Richard) Colella, Lisa (Vincent) Gandolfo, Meg Cimino (Jaime Wolf) and John Cimino; sister-in-law Lisa Hall (Alex Platero); nieces Margaret and Stella; nephews Cameron (Cameron Rose), Jesse, Vincent, Joe, Matthew and Joseph; and the Langan and Cimino families.

His father Dr. Cimino, father-in-law Richard Hall, sister Linda Marie Cimino, and beloved cockapoo Lilly predeceased Joe.

The family held a private memorial service.

Joe was our classmate SHHS 1980, my friend, and party pal "The Gang" shared tons of Sr. Year moments in school, LAX Games, Pocantico Hills ( Ciminos, Finks´, and Firehouse ) , Peach Lake, Jones Beach, etc. , and per Bobby L comment, I too can hear the laugh and see the head leaning backwards too. So very sorry for the loss ( husband, father, friend, sibling, son)

I am terribly sorry for your loss. Joe was one of my closest friends in HS and we roamed the trails and fields of Pocantico together. He was such an incredible person
Reading his obituary, I could see his head rock back and hear his distinctive laugh. We battled together on the football and lacrosse fields and we partied together on the weekends....,
Joe was a wonderful friend and I am so, so sorry that he has been taken from you.
Sincerely,
Bobby Lustyik

Such a great man words alone can´t describe. The salt of the earth phrase would describe Joseph. Very few people can even come close to his level of kindness. Not a mean spirited bone in his body. I would always call him father of the year.
So dedicated to his wife Cindy and children Nicholas and Natalie.
He will always be in my thoughts and prayers.
I miss you Joe.
Love Peter Maltese
