You were a true friend whom I've loved like the brother I never had. I'm sure you're now in the good hands of the man upstairs, but you were taken from us way too soon ... Whenever I have a pint of Guinness, I will smile and think of you.
Just wanted to pay my sincere respects and also offer my deep condolences to the families of Mr. George DiPasquale and the many brave souls who risked their lives for those in need. I will never forget and will continue to pray for all those affected by the tragic events of September 11. Thank you & God bless you! Ms. J. C. Filzen
I will always remember him in my heart and in my mind that he is a hero. I have always looked up to him and not because of his height, but because he had faced his ghost, overcame many demons and most importantly, created a beautiful life for his wife and daughter. Donato Sambucci, brother
You will always be remembered. I will cherish the memories we share -- the short walk we had together through life and the fun we have had over the years. From the time I first met you, the wedding and the birth of your daughter -- these are the things I will always remember. I pray God will take care of you.
Scotty, as we all called him, was one of the most special people that God put on this earth. He had the biggest heart and brightest spirit. When our grandfather passed away, Scotty was the one to hold my hand and help me through. He would say "Cous, it's going to be Okay. Poppy is with Jesus now, a better place." Well, I guess that is what is getting me through losing Scotty - the fact that he is with Poppy and Jesus smiling down at me saying, "Cous, it's going to be o.k. I'm with Jesus now, a better place."
Chris and I were fraternity brothers at Villanova. I have never and will never meet a person like him -- so high on life and so friendly to all humankind. We have lost one of the world's most genuine people. I am grateful to have had Chris add brightness to my life the last 10 years. I'll miss you Dinc. My best to his family. Joel Petino, classmate
I met Chris on September 12, 2000. He and I and George Byrer were matched as contestants on ESPN's Two Minute Drill. I was around him only a few hours, and I was amazed at his enthusiasm and his great personality. He also had a large group of friends there at the studio. I was amazed at how happy the group was together. I know he is grinning and smiling. Tom Clark, acquaintance
I know Chris from high school. Even though he graduated in 1988 and I did in 1990, it was a small school and every one knew each other. Chris always had a smile on his face and befriended every person he came into contact with. He made an everlasting impression on a lot of people including me. My prayers go out to Chris, his family and all of his friends -- he will be missed.
One of the few people on this Earth who could make a positive difference in everyone's life he encountered. Just want you to know, Dink, that all your friends and family sorely miss ya, but you will NEVER be forgotten. 'Til we all meet again.
Bill always had a smile on his face. No matter what came at him, Bill always was there with a smile on his face. I will always remember and admire him for that. May God bless him and his family. Harry Carrel, former AIG colleague
My uncle Stevie was a great man. He got me my job at Cantor Fitzgerald. I am glad I have the memories of him taking me out for lunch on my 21st birthday and of all the fun we had when I was little. I think of him every day of my life when I go to work and I know he's not there to send me e-mails to come visit me or to see him in the Cantor cafe where we would meet for lunch. I miss him dearly and loved him very much and appreciated everything he did for me, and I will make him proud! Loren Messina, niece
Eddie was an extraordinary man. You have the chance so few times in your life to meet and know someone who is so centered, happy and joyful to be around. Eddie was an example to me of exactly how life should be lived. Every moment that you have should be cherished and remembered. Life should be faced with a smile. The heart is made to love. Thank you for being an example of that, Eddie. I learned a lot. Nissa R. Madsen, neighbor until early this year
Donald worked for my father back in the early eighties; I was in my mid-teens and he was in his mid-twenties. He was repairing televisions and car radios, and we shared a love for music. He was a DJ by hobby and gave me the bug. Little did he know, that by his direction, I made the music business my life. I feel that everything that I have accomplished all started because of his influence. Sadly, we didn't really keep in close contact and that really hurts me now given the circumstances. What I remember most about Donald was that he was shy -- I think he got a kick out of me because I was so outgoing. He was also a very gentle, kind and honest human being that will certainly be missed by many who's lives he graced. Tommy Musto, friend
No words can ever express our gratitude for what you have given to this city. I pray for you and your family every day. I believe we grew up next to each other on Monitor Street. You were a friend of my brother, Michael. This city is fortunate to have had you as one of their bravest. You made the ultimate sacrifice. Your death will not be in vain. God bless you and your family! Nancy Ann Gilgeours
The first time we met I knew you were special. The beam of light shining from your eyes told me you were a gift from God to our family. I'm thankful every day for the time we had together until it was time for you to return to Allah. Through your love and kindness, I was able to learn about and respect the Muslim religion. My love continuously surrounds you in thought. We all love and miss you. Michelle Smullen, cousin
A father, son, husband, firefighter, and American hero. His friends and family are proud of him, and to have known him. Rest in peace, Dave. Kenneth Lee, friend
You will be missed. You were a man of honor and integrity. I will miss the Mets games and fighting over our repo roll rates. Patrick Crotty, friend and work customer
Thanks for the ultimate sacrifice! I know this comment is of no consequence, for your pain and anger. I cannot post my true feelings other than to say I am an ex-Marine recon operative. God bless your family in this time of need. Dave Downing, acquaintance
As said by a fellow military man, "If there were a definition of Army values in the dictionary, Jerry D. Dickerson's picture would sit right next to it." Jerry loved his career and he loved the life that came with it. For him it was selfless service. He cared more for others than he did for himself. He always put his country and family first. He would be so proud of the patriotism that Americans are showing today. It's a patriotic feeling that he always had.
Rodney, you were too young to be taken from this world. I hope I can talk with your parents some day. I will praise you and keep your spirit alive. I am sure your parents are proud of you. Send your spirit back to help others. We need you vibrance to enlighten others. God bless you and your family, Rodney. Dave Miller
I just wanted to express my sincere, heartfelt sympathy for the parents of this individual. I am also a father myself and this little boy reminds me so much of my son.
You must have been a smart little boy. I always loved the National Geographic, it's sad we will never get to know what good things this world could have received by you being in it. Take care, send your mommy kisses every day. Marisa
I was new in systems, and Paul always had a minute to help and educate me. He was extremely articulate and emotional about his work. He would speak of working for Motorola with passion. He taught me about having conviction in what you do. I will always remember Paul. My regrets to his family. He was exceptional, and his spirit has been transferred. Paul Olivieri, friend
Frank was the first boss I had coming out of college in 1978. We shared a lot of laughs and good times. I can honestly say that those times helped shape the person I am today, and I will always carry a part of him with me. In that sense, he lives on today. May God bless and take care of his family. Gary Dedoussis, friend
Joseph was a good boy and my best friend. He was also the younger brother of my wife. Full of life and never ever a bad word to say. He was Captain of his High School football team. He was a Columbia grad and worked his way to the Cantor Fitzgerald government bond desk. He lived with his mother to help her pay rent and live in the house they grew up in for 34 years. He was nothing other than a real good kid. The closeness of this family was and is like none other I have seen in my life. Joseph had fun, worked hard and thoroughly enjoyed life. He is greatly missed and every day for us it gets tougher and tougher to handle. We miss him so much and will never ever stop loving him. We miss you soooo much and your sister Lisa can't bear to stand a day without you and although I would never ever tell you to your face....neither can I. John L. Ubaldo, brother-in-law
I cannot imagine what you were thinking on September 11th. We will remember your courage and dedication in helping others forever. Go with God and lead the way up there for the rest of us. Deanne Marie Brouse
God took you because He needed a special angel in Heaven! Thank you for your courage and bravery. You will be missed. Margaret O'Callaghan, brother's neice
Although I did not know you personally I feel you are a hero and role model for all future firemen. I have the greatest respect for the job you have done and will never forget your hereoic actions after the cowardly actions of terroists. You can rest in peace for you have gone above and beyond your duties and our men will get each and every terrorist and they will pay. God bless. Stephen Gasbarro, nephew's friend
My name is Marlene (Hallam) Lynch, and I grew up in Allendale, New Jersey. I am so sorry about your loss. I'm sure Donald must have loved Allendale as much as I did. I now live in Marietta, Georgia, but I go back to New York all the time. I am so sorry about your loss. My nephew and I spent many vacations at the World Trade Center Marriott and miss it greatly, but it is nothing compared to what you all are going through. I will pray for you. Marlene Lynch
I didn't want to believe it, but sadly it's true. I was hoping Bob was worrking somewhere else. To his family and good friends, I think of Bob everyday, and he is still alive in my heart. I miss him Dean Mauro, dart partner
Uncle Jerry: For never passing judgement on others; for always being there; for your love, friendship and smile I am forever grateful. You are loved and missed very much! Albert Carrozza, nephew
I worked with Bill for 7 years at Reliance National (Claims Dept.). We had a lot of good laughs together. We would alternate on Fridays, to bring breakfast in. And Bill would always bring in his famous banana bread. We'd pick on him every time he walked through the file room, by calling him carrot top or Ritchie Cunnningham. I remember when he met his wife Trish and when he announced he was getting married. I came to the wedding and traveled all the way to Hicksville for the reception. It was so cold that day, but my husband and myself had a wonderful time. I was really torn up about him missing. Old memories flashed by my eyes (the corporate challenge, Christmas parties, walking to the train station and going out for lunch). Bill will be deeply missed. I pray for his family. If there's anything I can do for you, or you just want to talk, you can contact me at (410) 574-0355 (Home). Keep your head up Trish, I'll be praying for you and your family.
Mr. Curtin was not only a outstanding police officer, but also an amazingly talented leader with the United States Marine Corps. Sgt. Maj. Curtin and I served in the Marine Corps at 6th Communication Battalion, Alpha Co. He was admired and respected by all. A great loss to our nation in more than one way. My thoughts go out to his family and all the victims that fall because of terrorism.
No words can ever express our gratitude for what you have given to this city. I pray for you and your family every day. I believe we grew up next to each other on Monitor Street.

I knew Eddie over 10 years when I worked at Cantor Fitzgerald. He was a man with lots of love and life. He always had a smile and a joke. I am deeply saddened for his family. God Bless Eddie. I know he is with the Lord. Michael S. Talerico, former co-worker

It's hard to come to terms that we will never see Jay again. He was the kind of guy who always had the right thing to say. He was so professional in his manner which we all looked up to. His strive for success rubbed off on everyone he met and made us all become more motivated. Our organization and our world lost a truly honest, remarkable, intelligent, loving and caring man that day. He is so loved and so missed.

I pray for her father, mother, family and new husband. I cannot imagine the loss and pain they are feeling right now. Let no one forget those who are not with us. This is devastating to all, the grief and tragedy seems to know no bounds. My thoughts are with her family and other families who have lost loved ones as well. I am sorry. E. Callahan, high school classmate

Just want you to know how much you are missed. The summer will never be the same. We think of you every day and will be with you in spirit every time we are on the beach. We love you so much. Mark misses you so much and so do I. I'm sorry I never got to say goodbye.
Uncle Jim, you are a hero to Aunt Marion and the boys. We miss you so much. We are all in this together to help your family from here on in. I will take your boys under my wing as best as possible. You have been a great inspiration for your boys to be the best that they can be in life and as their coach, you helped make them some of the best players out there. Keep a safe watch over all of your family and shine down on them. Jimmy D, your are the best. Robert Netzel, godchild
Deb, I know you will never see these words; the irony of this is that there are no words that could express what is in my heart. My heart is full of sadness knowing that at the next family function you will not physically be there. I know in my soul and mind however that your sprit will. In fact, you will always be with us. And we will carry you with us always, the warmth of your smile, the joy in your laughter and your tenderness of others that was always shown in your eyes.
It is never easy to say goodbye to someone you love, we expect our loved ones to be with us always, but when reality steps in and death rears its ugly head, our world turns on it axis. So instead of seeing your face or hearing your voice, we are left with pictures and memories. There are so many moments of our times together that bring laughter to my heart, and a smile to my lips; for example, I can remember the last family reunion, it was two hundred degrees and you were standing over the grill burning me a hot dog. If I didn't say it then, thank you. Thank you for being my cousin, my friend and a joy to us all.
Our lives will continue, as will our love for you. They say when someone dies you never really lose them; I know you are not lost to me and the rest of the family, or to all those you have touched with your tenderness. I also know you are not alone in heaven because many of our family members have gone before you, and many of us will follow. One day we will all be together again and we can have a family reunion to end all family reunions. I ask one thing of you, will you burn me a hot dog? They do have hot dogs in haven don't they? I will see you when God calls me home but in the meantime give the rest of the family a kiss for me. Sheila L. Dunston, cousin
I pray for the comfort of your family. Dorothy is a hero in my heart and will remain so for my entire life. I am a 40-year-old piano teacher in Long Beach, California, and was very sad to learn of her loss. For those who knew and loved her, may your holidays be joyful knowing that her spirit is still amongst us and she surely would want us all to be happy. So let's pray for joy. I can't find forgiveness, but Dorothy might want us to do so. One thing I do know is that she is my angel! Judy Willis, neighbor
I worked with Bob in Two World Trade Center from 1992 until September 11, 1995 when Washington Group International was EBASCO/Raytheon. I remember that he always had candy on his desk and a warm, friendly smile. I was terribly saddened upon hearing of his loss on that terrible day. Scott Perricone, former co-worker
To a wonderfully, kind and caring soul who touched the lives of many, and whose heroic and selfless acts on September 11 shall not be forgotten: I am honored to have had the opportunity to have worked with you, Bob. You are dearly missed. Melissa Mitchell, business associate

My heart goes out to Jay's family. I will keep Jay and all those who lost someone in my prayers forever. They are now God's helpers, and they will look down upon us with the same love we shared with them. Jay was a great person that will be missed forever! Brenda Heise-Bezares, hometown friend
You were always respectable and a gentleman. Your silent humor will be missed. May you rest in peace for eternity. Gunther Pergher, former colleague and supervisor
It's hard to come to terms that we will never see Jay again. He was the kind of guy who always had the right thing to say. He was so professional in his manner which we all looked up to. His strive for success rubbed off on everyone he met and made us all become more motivated. Our organization and our world lost a truly honest, remarkable, intelligent, loving and caring man that day. He is so loved and so missed.
Mark was the "best of class"; he achieved the distinction of being the best in his field -- no one in the insurance industry knew more about construction risk and OCIP programs than Mark. I am glad that I got to know him as a client. I hope his family finds peace and solace during this holiday season.
Mr. Darcy was my high school English teacher some 25 years ago at Mt. St. Michael. He was a great teacher. I'm 46 now and a lawyer. John Fausti, student
Though we haven't seen each other in years, your sense of humor, bright smile and willingness to "tip a few" will remain a fond memory for years to come. Thanks for all the good times, your old schoolmate at Stonehill, Pete Dougherty.
Although I did not know Edward, I am deeply saddened by the loss of a brother firefighter and a great person. My heart goes out to his family and friends. God bless.
You always made heads turn -- whether it was your smile, your sense of humor or your personality. You will be sadly missed by me and your friends at Club Abyss. Rest in peace, Rob. Susan Todaro, friend

I worked with "Mushuganah" for two years before he left to go to another desk at Cantor. He could have been the nicest, most sensitive person I have ever met. Everyone loves him. My heart goes out to his Mom and Dominique, two people who love him dearly. I do too. He is a loss for all who know him, and I feel sorry for the people that never met Mike Davidson. I will never forget his recess and end of the school day phone calls and the hours of laughs I had with him. It isn't right that we should lose such a great human being at such a young age. Mushuganah, I miss you. Jay, co-worker
Just want you to know how much you are missed. The summer will never be the same. We think of you every day and will be with you in spirit every time we are on the beach. We love you so much. Mark misses you so much and so do I. I'm sorry I never got to say goodbye.
May you find your way into a life of happiness and peace. You leave behind smiles, sunshine and love. You take with you all our thoughts and prayers and love.
Mr. Darcy was my high school English teacher some 25 years ago at Mt. St. Michael. He was a great teacher. I'm 46 now and a lawyer. John Fausti, student
Everyday, I pray for her mom and dad, her brother and her new husband. I cannot imagine the pain they must be going through. Everyday, I ask God to keep them strong and to bless them with His everlasting love. My thoughts and my prayers will be with them ... always.
My heart and prayers will always remember Jeannine, her mother, Cathy, and family every day. Jeannine and those who passed on with her were true "martyrs of faith and freedom."
