Paul Cascio Obituary
On a summer weekend, when the Cascios were expecting their elder son, Paul, to show up at the family's beach home with a guest, in he strode, with — 15 friends? "Mom, Mom," he said beguilingly, "how could we choose?"
Mr. Cascio, 23, was the tour director for a flotilla of friends, who followed in his wake on adventures around the world. Happily spending every penny he earned, Mr. Carpe Diem, a proud denizen of downtown Manhattan, went scuba diving in Fiji and skiing wherever the air smelled of snow. He flew to Los Angeles and Dublin, just to see U2 concerts. A friend would mention a half-idea of a trip and Mr. Cascio, a newly minted vice president at Euro Brokers, would reply, "Done! We're doing it!"
He was blunt. He played pranks that were hilarious but annoying. Impatient, he always arrived early. But he also beamed solicitous concern on friends and relatives. When his parents were separating, he called his mother, Janet, every morning for six months: "Let's plan your day. What will make you happy?"

Hey Cous, I hope you can hear me up there as I am sure you have been watching over us. I see all the posts our family and your friends put up on this site on this anniversary day 13 years later remembering your amazing life. You know how much you meant to me as my hero of who I looked up too since birth. My memories of you are endless of laughter and joy and I think of The amazing family thanksgivings, Christmas eves and summers in the hamptons. On this of somber days which has changed all of our lives forever, I remember how lost I was for so long but what got me through it was how you lived a full life -more in your 23 years then most people will ever live in a lifetime. Carpe diem doesn't come close to justice when describing you Paulie! I always tried to mimic that mentality and I really want you to know that you have made me the man I am today as that dark period dealing with everything truly made me persevere through all that life has dealt me and such a stronger man today. I really wish you could of met my beautiful wife Alexandra and within days the birth of my first baby girl. I am so proud and happy to say that your legacy will live on forever ( not that your spirit will ever go away;)) through Evans son Paul Regan Cascio II !! It's surreal and I hope I am making you proud buddy and I can't wait to see you again Paulie. I love you and miss you very much.

Paulie, I thought of you just now and how happy you would be that they finally got Bin Laden today. Yet one more reminder how much I miss you in my life and how your family must wish for you back every day. I miss you every September, every time it's your birthday and whenever I think about Key West or New York. Not to mention every other day of the week like when I have some delicious pizza or some amazing st Lewis style baby back ribs. He may be dead but that will never bring you back.

Paul & family,
I hung out with the Manhasset girls that went to Sacred Heart in highschool and had a house in the Hamptons in the summer of 2000. One of my classmates that was from manhasset passed right before 9/11 and you passed on 9/11 along with 100 coworkers that I worked in Tower 2, including another young guy from Nassau County Ryan Fitzgerald who was my boss and close friend. We lost a lot of people from Fiduciary Trust that day. We all still suffer with the tremendous loss of life and feel for the families and friends that lost their loved ones. I worked on the 97th floor for Fiduciary Trust Company International. I hope your friends and family find peace eventhough it is 6 years later it still is very painful. You where taken way too soon. May you guide the 9/11 survivors and families a way to find healing and mend our torn hearts.

Bro, I miss you so damn much and there is not a day, that goes by, where I do not think about you. It's been six years and I know that when we do run into each other again, it is going to be awesome. We will have a lot of catching up to do. Can't wait.
P.S. How are the women up there?

Well Paulie-
I just read an article about your last moments and how you were trying to help someone in distress out of the bldg when it took your life- I am not surprised you died trying to help someone else! It makes me angry and cry that you died with so much life left to live- but I have to remind myself that you did live each day to their fullest!
Still NOT a day that goes by that I don't see your smile and think of you! I still miss you terribly, but I know you are having an "excellent" time where you are right now. You always did! I hope you know the impact you have had on my life and so many others....you will always be missed and you will always put a smile on my face!

After a visit this past week to ground zero, I noticed on the memorial a young man's name, Paul Cascio. I was very sorry to see so much loss but Paul's name really hit me hard since I too am a Cascio and he certainly could have been a relative of mine. Paul and his family will always be in my prayers and I can certainly see that he has made the Cascio name very proud in a very short time.

Dear Paulie,
When I heard that you were in the World Trade Center on that fateful day, I thought of the spark in your eye and your sweet smile. I reached for my photo albums from college, and found a picture of you on Halloween dressed as a woman! I felt so badly for your family, and wanted to send some sort of gesture of sympathy, but how could I send that silly picture!?!
I am so sorry that your life was cut short, I am sorry for your family and your friends, who all clearly loved you so dearly. I just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of you.
Much love,
Emily

What a good looking guy-- People say it more and more as I grow older I look just like you (We have that "Cascio look" as Linda says.) I didn't know you that well, but it doesn't stop me from missing you. I know your having fun with your grandfather up there now, as we're down here trying to help your father and the rest of the family cope with the pain. Your in my thoughts and prayers everyday. As I hear stories about you, it reminds me more and more about myself (especially the good looks). Your missed everyday and you will never be forgotten.

I moved to the deep south twenty years ago and never got to know you. But after reading these many loving messages I feel that I know all about you. You grew up to be very much like your sweet mother, and a lot like your Uncle Joe and Aunt Diane, always caring for others first.
I just want you to know that you're a SAINT and a HERO to me and I pray for you and your wonderful family often. Please put in 'a good word' for us down here and keep us in your prayers.
Yours in Faith,

I never met Paul but I have met his dad, Paul, Sr.
From conversations with him I have felt the love between them. How blessed they both were to have shared a bond so strong, so full of love and life.
Paul's dad shared many stories of his son. He always smiles wide when he speaks of the "adventures" of his fearless son he so loved. My prayers and my thoughts are with you all, your love for each other is a beautiful tribute to his life. To love as completely as you, Paul, loved your son, as beautifully as he must have loved you is a gift you will always have.
From talking to his dad and reading the messages from his family and friends I see what a beautiful person he truly was. He touched many lives with his love and kindness. His beauty can be seen in their words.
Death does not take away the person inside, it only takes away the shell and the love and memories remain. Paul is with you all, in every smile, thought and story you tell, in every minute of every day, he remains with you. May you believe Paul is only a breath away and I know that Paul, Jr. is with you in your heart and he is watchin over you.
Paul, Jr. be happy in heaven, I know you are there sitting in the glory of your families love.

Hi Paulie, Uncle George and I miss you so much and our family will never be the same. You brought so much joy to us and we love you. As "Poppy" Regan used to say, "Paul Regan Cascio, he's the nicest fellow I know". You have left a hole in our hearts. Glad you got to see Rome and also glad that you liked my poem. We went up to Evan's graduation. He did us proud Paul. I know you were there and I know you're at peace. I love you. Aunt Diane

It took me some time to remember the first time I met Paul. And even longer to write. My Grandmother had passed away freshman year of college and living on the sophomore campus made it tough to make friends. I had never met Paul when he told me how sorry he was to hear about my loss. To this day I don't know how he knew or why he said anything at all. He didn't have to, but he did. I spent everyday my freshman year with him and a great group of friends. Everyday. That year was unbelievable. I couldn't have asked for a better friend to take me under his wing. Hanging out, playing ball, skiing or just listening to his bits of corny wisdom or toasts, every minute with Paul was memorable. His way with people, passion for life and ability to liven up any situation were uncomparable, and only outdone by the love for his family. I'll never look up to anyone again like the way I did and still do to Paul. The bar is just too high.

I graduated HS with Paul and I remember him to be a very "up" and positive person. The loss of Paul I'm sure has impacted everyone from the class of 1995. I think many of us like myslef who were at work in NYC that day think: "That could have been me." This is a lesson for all of us...to value what we have, as it can all be taken in a split second. I know he is in a better place now.

Hey Paulie,
Whats going on buddy? Its that time of year again, October baseball and the Mets are home again. I know you and Brandon have a little more magic left in you for this year's playoffs. And if your only motivation is seeing Higgins, Cliff and and the rest of the Mets fans stunned again, it's alright by me. Still thinking about you everyday. Your strength and presence helps me and everyone else keep going on everyday. Talk to you later.

Paulie....
I have logged onto this website numerous times now wanting to write, but could not find the words to express how I feel. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you and smile at all the memories we have. In Australia-all the trips, laughs & stories with you, Brandon, Jarrod, Clare and Dave. In Fiji- when we got a little too close and personal with a shark while diving...trips out to visit you in NYC..New Year's with you and your friends from Manhasset...and the last chance I was able to see you in Colorado...
You have taught me so much...whether it was your "excellent" outlook on life, or your smile that would light up a room, or your love and devotion to your family and friends...everything you stood for, everything you accomplished Paulie, will never be forgotten. I feel blessed to have known you and your family!
Paulie- you touched so many
lives...and left so many memories for us to share and smile and remember....you will always live on in our hearts...
Love, Lindsay
-To Janet, Evan and Paul Cascio- I pray and think of you everyday!

Well tomorrow is the one year anniversary, and it still hurts the same is it did a year ago. I thought it'd be easier, but its really not. Its going to be even tougher tomorrow thinking about everything that happened and how real and clear it all still is in my head... I'm definitely going to need some help from you to get though it, and I know I'll get it. I miss you a lot Paul and I'm still thinking about you everyday. I hope everything is going well up there... I'll talk to you soon bro.

Hey Paulie. It's been a long time but I still remember the junior high days in Manhasset - tearing up the soccer field by your house with the Tiberia's, making fun of Mr. Ruiz in Spanish or messing around Polywog Pond with Tommy Marlin. You were a friend at a time when I had trouble finding them and I'll never forget you.

What's up Paulie? Just wanted to check in and give you an update... Summer is almost halfway over now and its been pretty tough not having you out in the Hamptons with us. You were such a huge part of my memories of being out there all these past summers... I've been trying to be strong like you want want me to be, but sometimes its really hard.
I also wanted to tell you that the night about a month ago when we spoke about everything that happened on that day was probably the greatest thing that had ever happened to me. I had been struggling a little bit with everything, as I'm sure you probably noticed, and when I woke up that next morning I just felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. You really helped me out a lot and I just wanted to thank you for that.
I hope you are taking care of yourself up there and I look forward to hearing from you again soon. I'll talk to you later bro....

I missed you so much this weekend, Cascio. Its hard to imagine the Hamptons without you. Just to keep you up to date, surf club friday night, higgins broke his cell phone again, stocked up on coors light, and overall had a good time being together. We all missed you and brandon so much this weekend, but we have each other and we can be thankful for that....just make sure you make yourself known the next time were out there.....maybe throw higgins new phone in the pool. Oh yeah, Caseys doing great, but he misses you alot.
PS: I promise to practice my baci...I will prove to you that the irish can play baci!!!

Paul I will never forget the first time I met you- on the Goldcoast in Australia. I think of you often and picture you back there surfing on those beautiful beaches (except without all those jellyfish stings!!) Your smiling face will never be forgotten. miss you...

I first met paul when I came to college. We ditched the on campus welcome movie to hang out and drink a couple warm wine coolers in my dorm room. I eventually came to know Paulie like a brother and have learned so much from being around him and meeting his family and the many friends that he had such a way of bringing together. Life is no guarentee and we never know when we will be gone from this world. Paul seemed to know this and he lived like there may never be a tomorrow. I will never froget his love and his warm presence.
We had a long conversation one day about death and the possibility of contacting eachother when we die. If this is possible Cascio, please drop us a line sometime. You are truely one of the most incredible people that I have ever been so lucky to meet. I love you so much.

Paul was a friend that I feel lucky to have met during my life. He lived by the moment and did it with his huge smile and bright eyes. Not a day goes by I don't think about him or miss him more than words can describe. He had a million friends and made each one feel important and special. He was an honest, genuine, fun and a truly remarkable person to be around. I feel fortunate to have shared so many great times with a friend like Paul. You were everything a friend should be and much more.

dear family and friends of paul cascio;
hi my name is sifu,i am a martial arts teacher who had met paul with his bro evan,he came to me one day with a busted up shoulder .i ask him if he was strong like his younger bro ,he said go for it sifu! i massaged out his injury and told him he would be ok .i knew he was in a little discomfort but after all anyone would be with a busted up shoulder. he was strong and positive and had a good sense of humor. when he was in discomfort he would laugh !he was funny!that day, he learned what it meant to take pain to heal an injury .So with this in mind. we should know,from every action there is a reaction. a positive one is that paul would have you in his heart just as we will have him in ours! Into his next life he will go, happier without suffering! wishing him and his family the best .. love always sifu..

Paul was my friend and wingman. We grew up together and as the years past we could laugh at some of the funny stories we had or things we did. I always enjoyed being with him and hanging out with him and our friends. We shared lots of favorite things at did soome fun stuff together. My favorite was making up stories about what we did. Sometimes we were helicoper pilots, other times we were wine makers. I always had a good time trying to come up with the next story. I loved them all. I'll miss you. -Cliff

From the day that he was born,no boy was ever more cherished and loved than Paul Cascio. I think that love is what made Paul grow to be the extraordinary young man that he was.To know him was to love him.My deepest sympathy to the Regan and Cascio families.

I was so sad to hear about Paul. I knew him from years ago at the Yacht Club in Remsenburg. We actually ran into each other just last summer. I will never forget him for who he was at 12 and at 24 - the same sweet person. My sympathy goes out to his family.

I was lucky enough to know Paul for even the short time I spent with him in Washington DC and while in NYC. He was truly a magnetic soul -- whether is was organizing some adventure, just spending time with someone to talk, or cracking his winning smile when it was most needed, Paul always shared a part of himself. He lived life to the fullest and with no fear, and perhaps more importantly, he inspired others to do the same.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the Cascio family who I know Paul loved and admired so much. He knew that his family was his greatest gift, and I know this is why he was the wonderful person we all got to know and love.

I knew Paul for about 6 months, and I consider him one of my closest friends. When you talked to him, he made you feel like you were the only person in the room that he wanted to be around. He was just this amazing kid who you loved to be around. Theres not a day that goes by that I don't think of him, or talk to him. And I know that he is there, cause I still can hear him laughing at me when I start to stress out. I miss you so much Cascio, and I can't wait to see you again.

Paul was my closest friend and there is not a day that goes by where I don't think about him. He had so many great qualities that I wouldn't even know where to begin. He was the type of person you were just forced to admire... whether it was from his world travels and sense of adventure to his consideration and generousity towards his family and friends, he truly lived life to the fullest. I know he is in a better place right now. Someday our paths will cross again and I'll get to hear all about his new adventures. Until then Paulie, until then....

My deepest sympathy to the Cascio Family. Your son had an energy, zest and a spirit for life. He was always fun to be around and was wise beyond his years. He will be greatly missed. The world is just not quite as bright without him in it.

America Cries
We see your sorrow-
and our hearts cry....
We can not erase your pain
but you do not have to face the anguish alone-for we-
-the American people-
are beside you.
We so desperately want to have the touch that brings you comfort,
the strength that gives you courage,
and the words to lighten your spirits.
And when we are left speechless
may the silence of our nation weave love into your hearts
to ease your sorrow.
May you find healing through our nation's strength as we-
-the American people-
face this difficult time together. Our hearts are with you. Teresa Jahn
