Still a Tourist
Roy Santos was a perpetual tourist in the city that he loved. He had lived in New York for nearly six years, but still relished it. His mother, Aurora, called him "a Broadway addict." He had to get tickets to all the latest shows, loved "The Producers," loved "The Lion King." On the memorial Web page Mr. Santos's friends created, there are photographs of him against the New York skyline, the Statue of Liberty, the World Trade Center.

Last Christmas, his brother Ronald and Ronald's wife, Rosemary, stayed with him on the Upper East Side. It was a typical Roy good time. They saw "Cabaret," had Christmas brunch at the Marriott Hotel's revolving restaurant, and spent the rest of the day in Central Park, playing in the snow. On New Year's Eve they were supposed to go to Times Square, but Roy Santos got the flu. It was the second year in a row that he had gotten sick and missed it. "Next year, I'll be ready," he told his brother.

On Sept. 11, Mr. Santos, 37, was at the trade center again. This time, Mr. Santos, a computer consultant for Accenture, was working.

Dear cousin Roy, 9/11/21 it's been 20years since your passing... time truly goes by so quick and I still can't imagine how all things happened just like that... time surely went by so fast but you're still remembered. Your kindness, warm smile and your corny jokes that I truly miss... please continue looking down upon us... we miss you very much my dear cousin ...

The TV cameras focused on your name during the 9/11 ceremony this year. You are not forgotten.

It has been 17 years now. Roy was such a remarkable person that even after all this time, I still think about him. Whenever I am in lower Manhattan, I find myself stopping off at the 9/11 memorial, find his name and tears come to my eyes. When I decided to remove his name from my computer contacts, it tore at my heart. We sat next to each other when I worked at JPMorgan and I have had him in my head ever since. Roy will live on in my heart as a wonderful, extremely intelligent, and kind...

today is 9/11/2016 to you my dear cousin Roy, you are always remembered and i miss your kindness, smile and your being funny. i know your in heaven now but please always look upon us... i love you cousin!

Its been 15 years now since the day we lost so many loved ones. Our country still mourns that day. You shall not ever be forgotten. You all will always be in our hearts. R.I.P to you all that died that day. You all were heroes and still are and you always will.

I may not know you personally. But as a filipino,my heart was deeply hurt that you were one of those 2,000+ victims of 9/11. I warmly extend my sincere sympathy. Pagpalain ka nawa ng poong maykapal. Amen

you will always be remembered
