Guy Tozzoli Obituary
Guy Tozzoli died Saturday in Myrtle Beach, S.C. His death was announced by the World Trade Centers Association.
Tozzoli was director of World Trade Center Development for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey during the construction of the twin towers.
He was credited with bringing Japanese architect Minoru Yamasaki to the project. He also fought for the famous Windows on the World restaurant to be included in the north tower.
Current Port Authority Executive Director Patrick Foye says Tozzoli also helped build the first container port in New Jersey in the 1950s. He called Tozzoli a groundbreaking pioneer.
Tozzoli joined the Port Authority in 1946.

Dear Family of Guy, I was enthralled by his Twin Towers. I still have the poster on my wall from 1983 when I visited! The saying: The closest some of us will ever get to heaven! But I know Guy is in Eternity and we will be with him through Jesus Christ our Saviour.

I am so sorry to read of Mr Tozzoli's passing. I had the pleasure and honor of interviewing him in 1977 when I was a reporter for The Local Review ( Ridgewood Newspapers ) in Park Ridge. As I watched events unfold on 9/11 he was in my thoughts and prayers. I still have the original article since it meant so much to me to have the privilege of spending a day with him at his office.
My deepest sympathy in your loss of a very great man.
