Elias Nicholas Constantine

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Elias Nicholas Constantine, a beloved father, grandfather, and partner. Born on September 14, 1935, in Brooklyn, New York, he was the cherished son of Lebanese immigrant parents.

From an early age, he discovered a profound talent for art, a passion he cultivated at the esteemed School of Industrial Art and Design in Manhattan. This foundation led to a distinguished and successful career as an art director, where his creative vision graced various advertising agencies in both New York City and Boston.

While working in Boston, he met his former wife, Irene. Together, they built a life and raised their family in Salem, New Hampshire. He was a devoted father to his son, Elias Nicholas Constantine II, and his daughter, Kassandra (Constantine) McPherson. Kassandra, married to Michael McPherson, blessed him with two grandchildren, Harrison, aged 3, and Kenna, 1.5 years old, who brought him immense joy.

He is also survived by his loving partner of over 20 years, Barbara LaPierre. In his later years, he divided his time between Brooksville, Florida, and Danville, New Hampshire, enjoying the warmth of both communities.

He will be remembered for his artistic spirit, his dedication to his family, and the lasting impact he made on those around him. His legacy lives on through his children and grandchildren.

SERVICES:  A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, January 18, 2026 from 11am to 3:30pm at Copper Door, 41 S. Broadway Street, Salem, NH 03079.
