Anthony Lise, a resident of Brewster, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family at home on Thursday, May 19, 2022, after a valiant, three-year battle with cancer. He was 73.

Son of the late George & Concetta Lise, Anthony was born in the Bronx on April 23, 1949. In 1967, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy, serving his country during the Vietnam era until 1971; this inspired his love of travel & country.

Later in life, Anthony found his calling as an addictions counselor, using his sobriety to inspire countless others to achieve theirs at the New York State Office of Addiction Services and Supports (OASAS), retiring in 2012. Previously, Anthony was a member of the Teamsters Union at John F. Kennedy Airport for many years. In 1978, he met his wife, Annita E. Vitarbo. They were married on November 22, 1980 in Yonkers. Anthony enjoyed history, reading, music, Formula 1 Racing, the outdoors and home improvements.

Anthony is survived by his wife, Annita; his son, Anthony M. Lise & his husband, Kevin L. Davidson of Garrison; his daughter, Deena M. Horvath & her husband, Dustin Horvath of Mahopac; his daughter, Jessica A. Lise & her partner, Ricardo Santander, of Brooklyn; his granddaughter, Penelope G.
