Michael Tamuccio Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 21, 2001.
A Bud in Any Season

Michael A. Tamuccio was a true guy's guy, which is why his friends knew that Kathleen Horner was "the one" when the couple showed up at a Halloween party in Raggedy Ann and Andy costumes.

This was a man who had dressed as a bottle of Budweiser the previous year, who was a World War II buff and once an Eagle Scout. A man who, as a student at Fordham University, wrestled down a mugger, grabbed his weapon (a sock filled with quarters) and then used the change to do laundry for the next few weeks.

A vice president for equities trading at Fred Alger Management, Mr. Tamuccio, 37, was known for helping others find work on Wall Street. If the job did not work out, he told them, we will still be friends.

Mr. Tamuccio was thrilled with the view from his office on the 93rd floor of 1 World Trade Center. But his favorite lookout point was White Face Mountain, in the Adirondacks, where he and Kathleen, his wife since 1996, would go to ski, and to marvel at the rugged beauty of the mountains and swirling snow.

Happy Birthday dear nephew...another year gone by without you here on your special day. As always I think of you often as you are always in my thoughts and my heart. The days go by but I continue to miss you. My memories of you are still there and are forever on my mind. There were so many good times, fun times, happy times. I still struggle with the loss of your Godmother...I miss her too so much. It has been a rough year with many things going on. I sold Aunt Gina's house and moved Joey to a nice Condo. He has had to have surgery on his leg twice but thanks to your sister Dana and your cousin Caryn things went well, as I had health issues myself and could not be there for him. I speak to your mother often and wish I could travel to see her and your father. Maybe this year. I pray that you are at rest and are with Grandma and Aunt Gina....I know you are watching over all of us. As always and forever I will never forget.

Love Aunt Alice

HAPPY `61st´ BIRTHDAY my darling son ~ so very hard to realize that you would have been 61 today.... Where have the years gone? It still seems like yesterday that we lost you ~ you are so dearly missed every day of the year but especially of late..... it´s been a couple of trying months for dad and I and I ask that you please watch over him ~ he misses you so terribly has do we all, but he just can´t get past certain things.... so much going on in the family ~ we lost cousin Gene this past month and his brother Jerry is not doing well either~ please keep an eye on him....
You´d be so proud of your nephew James ~ he just started high school
and made the varsity baseball team - he went two for three in his first game and brought in the tying run ~ he´s such a good kid and we´re so very proud of him ~ he´s also learning how to drive, but like you, he´s not very fond of driving, so Jimmy is taking it very slow teaching him...... oh my Michael, miss you so very much, never gets easy and never will ~ you are always in my thoughts, our thoughts, each and every day ~ we love you so much ~ I know it´s a lot to ask, but please keep an eye on all of us, a lotgoing on with with everyone..... rest easy my love and again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!

Luv always and forever,
Mom xxxx

`23´ years my darling boy and still it´s as if it were yesterday. As always, we attended the 9/11 Memorial Mass at St. Peter´s ~ a bit unsettling as, though we respect and honor all those who responded to the tragedy at the WTC, very little mention, if at all, is ever made of those who went to work that fateful September morning and lost their lives because of the hatred others had for America ~ terribly bothersome, especially for Dad.
Sadly, my luv, `time does not heal all wounds´ ~ `the hole in our hearts never heals´, `the chair is always empty´ ~ `the longing for another day with you´ is always there. Dad and I, as well as the family, have had some trying and difficult times this year ~ please watch over us all, as we journey down Life´s Path and its `curves in the road´. Watch over your nephew, James ~ you would be soo proud of him, as he started his high school career this year at Christ The King (a school much like your Alma Mater, Chaminade), a talented baseball player and gifted student ~ he can actually get his driver´s permit this year, so please keep a watchful eye.
Take care my dearest son and know that you are in our thoughts and prayers every minute of every day ~ may you be at peace and `resting in the palm of HIS hand ~ GOD BLESS !!

Luv,
Mom

Dearest Michael, ❤
As we face another very sad day today, we never forget you. So many times we say
to ourselves “we wish this nightmare is not true and want it to end”. It never ends
and all we can do is pray for peace. You are a special angel in heaven. I know you are watching over your loved ones. I pray for them. May they have peace and good health. Love you. ❤. Lucille and Joseph Bonomolo

After 23 years I still remember you fondly. Though our relationship was business, you were always a gentleman and it was a pleasure to know you and Kathleen. God bless and keep you, for all eternity.

Dear Michael, another year goes by and still the sadness of losing you lingers. It never gets easier and it never leaves me. It has been a long year with so many things to get done. The family has been together many times to help your cousin Joey get settled in a new home. I have made several trips to Long Island to help with the process. I am getting old dear nephew....and have some health issues...but I am dealing with them. My thoughts are always with you. I think of you many days when I'm not doing well and it really helps me get through the day. You always had the ability to give calming and positive advice when needed. You will forever be in my heart and my prayers and as always I will never forget.
Love Aunt Alice xoxoxo

Oh my, forgot to mention that your nephew, James was Confirmed on April 9th, he chose dad to be his sponsor ~ he was so honored ~
you would be so proud of him. He’s so smart and he’s such a good athlete ~ Baseball. He graduates next month from elementary school. Reminds all of us of you in sooo many
ways ~ again, my luv, rest in peace and

Happy Birthday, my dearest darling, darling boy ~ April 14, 2024 ~ your ‘60th’ birthday ~ so very difficult to know we will not be together celebrating this very special day with you ~ again I wonder where would you be, what would you be doing ~ would you have a family, be a dad ~ still working or retired.

So many thoughts go through my mind every day but especially today, ‘your day’ ~ your difficult entry into this world, what a special, sensitive little boy you were, the great student you were, as well as a great athlete, especially your prowess in ice hockey and the happy years, the many tournaments you played in, the wonderful college years, the successful career you were creating at Alger Management and the many, many friendships you made and maintained throughout your short lifetime and the horrific way you left us, never to be forgotten ~ ‘A life so rare, gone too soon’

Wishing you a special day shared with all your loved ones as you rest in the palm of HIS hand, GOD BLESS, my luv ~ you are so dearly luved and missed every minute of every day .

Much Luv always,
Mom and Dad

My darling son ~ Merry Christmas, Happy New Year ~ could not access Legacy due to internet services over the holiday ~ another year without you ~ very blue year this year, not much spirit at all ~ though Dana gave us a surprise ‘60th’ Anniversary dinner ~ brought both families down for the weekend ~ was so glad I was up to it ~ it was like old times having all the families together ~ I so miss our holiday gatherings, a.ways so much banter and luv shared ~ it’s been a tough year for dad and I both as we both had health issues, probably why the lack of spirit ~ dad is still facing an issue, so please watch over him ~ you must be so tired of my asking you to watch over us, all of us ~
your strength always saw us through difficult moments .

I hope you are at peace and at rest, my luv and with all those who have left us ~ it comforts me to know that you are all together ~ you are so very luved and missed ~
every hour of every day ~ very sad right now thinking of you and wishing you were here with us and knowing that will never be again i this earthly life ..

Luv,
Mom xoxo

Dear Michael....22 years have passed since our family lost you and it just never gets any easier. I have found that time does not always heal the sadness and heartache that we feel. I continue to try and remember only the good times we shared but the emptiness of your loss never leaves me. I find myself talking to you and Aunt Gina and Grandma more and more these days....maybe I'm just getting old...but it does help me get through the days. I was so happy to be able to go to Florida this past May to celebrate your Mom and Dad's 60th wedding anniversary. Dana had a surprise party for them and your cousins Caryn and Tricia and my granddaughter Rory came to...as did others in the family. It was good to all be together again. Today I will spend the day as I usually do with neighbors and friends at a Memorial service and just remember you...your smile....your jokes...everything about you and everything that you meant to us. You will always be in my thoughts and my heart and as always....I will never forget.

Love Aunt Alice

‘22nd Anniversary,’ my darling boy and still it seems like yesterday ~ the hole in our hearts is still there, the chair remains empty, the birthdays, holidays without you are
always missing ~ ‘59’ this year and as always, I wonder ~ where would you be, who would you be and yet deep down I know ~ you’d be working at the job you loved so dearly, maybe you would be a father (and a wonderful one), don’t think or at least I would hope you still wouldn’t be playing ice hockey with the Hoggs, you might have still been playing softball with Jimmy and your friends ~ you would be sharing life with Kathy, your family, your friends and spending time at Yankee Stadium, cheering your beloved Yankees on ~ you’ll be surprised to know that Dana is a ‘docent’ at Yankee Stadium on the weekends that they have home games ~ she applied on a whim, was
accepted ~ takes game attendees on a tour of the stadium and the Memorial Park and just luvs it ~ she also does tours of Wall Street ~ had had enough of the corporate world and decided she was going to do work doing things she enjoyed and that’s just what she is doing and luving it (of course with five Tamuccios having been on the floor of the NYSE at one time, she has an inside track on the workings and of course, she
‘picks dad’s brain’ at times (lol) ..she hosted a ‘60th Anniversary’ dinner for dad and I at one of our favorite restaurants in town and brought both families down to share the weekend with us ~ was wonderful to be all together, like old times ~ truly miss our family gatherings but, of course, the ‘empty chair’ was there ~ so hard still, Michael,
to not have you with us at these special moments..

Dad and I will go to the ‘Mass of Remembrance’ as we always do and maybe walk the beach a little ~ spend the day together quietly ~ laugh and cry as we look back on the years and all the wonderful memories we have of a wonderful, gifted, caring little boy who grew up to be a wonderful, gifted caring young man who left us and this world far too soon ~ you are always in our hearts, our thoughts every day ~ we luv you and miss you more than we could ever say ~ GOD BLESS my luv, may you be at peace with your grandparents, relatives, friends and be resting in the Palm of HIS Hand .

Luv,
Mom and Dad xoxo

Happy Birthday Michael....as always I am thinking of you on your special day. So many years without you but still so alive in my thoughts and memories of you. They are always so happy and I sometimes find myself laughing out loud at things that we did or said. I continue to miss you and hold you dear in my heart. Your mom and I speak often...as we are still having a tough time after losing your Godmother...Aunt Gina. I pray that she is with you in heaven as she loved you so much. I know that you will watch over her....and please watch over our family as we are all getting older. You will always be in my heart, thoughts, and prayers dear nephew. I love and miss you and I will never forget.

`HAPPY BIRTHDAY´ !!

`59´ today, my luv ~ as always, I wonder `who´ would you be today, `where´ would you be today, how would we all be today, if you were here with us ~ so many changes,
challenges in our family, our country, our world ~ we lost your beloved Godmother, Regina, almost a year ago now ~ so hard to believe she´s not here with us ~ has been the hardest for Aunt Alice, the other `Irish Twin´.

You would be soo very proud of your nephew ~ he made the school baseball team again, as well as a new travel team but most important ~ he was inducted into the
`Junior Honor Society´ !! A young man now `13´ !!

As always my luv, dad and I will go to Mass ~ no walk
on the beach due to the restoration still going on but maybe a visit to the Memorial ~ you are missed so dearly, my darling boy ~ as joyous as `April 14th´ always was, it´s now a quiet and sad day, though it always brings such wonderful memories of all the happy and celebratory `April 14ths´ we shared ~ wishing you peace as you rest in Our Lord´s arms ~ GOD BLESS my luv .....

Luv,
Mom and Dad

Dear Michael,

Another year has gone by and I am still missing you so much. I think of all the things our family has missed out on without you here. As the years go by it just doesn't seem to get any easier for me. I try to stay positive and only think of the good things about you and remember the fun times we all had together. You are always in my heart and on my mind. I will be spending this day with friends and neighbors at a 9/11 memorial in my community remembering you and the many others that we lost that day. This has been a tough year for us. We have lost another beloved person who meant everything to me. Your Godmother...my sister ..Aunt Gina.. passed away in May and I, as your mother has too, have been struggling with this. I miss her so much and think of her everyday. I know you loved her as much as she loved you... as everyone did...she was truly very special. She is at peace now and is in heaven with you and her boys. Please continue to watch over me and our family and know that I will never forget.

Love, Aunt Alice

September 11, 2022' ~ 21' years since we lost you, our beloved son and yet, to dad and I, it's yesterday'.

A difficult year as we lost your beloved Godmother Regina ~ my only solace is that she is with you and her beloved sons. It was a terrible loss for our family, so hard to reconcile ~ has hit Aunt Alice the hardest, as they were the Irish Twins' in our family. Lots of familial changes, not always the best but ones to be dealt with ~ many I believe would be easier if you were here with us.

Would have liked to have gone up for the Anniversary services in New York but it's not a good place for dad any longer, never was after we lost you ~ he's having some issues, so please keep an eye on him, as well as your brother. You would be sooo proud of your nephew ~ he was chosen, first out of 120 nominees and then down to the last 35', as a member of the All Star' baseball team in his county league and rookie of the year' for his school baseball team.
Like you, your sister and your brother, my luv, he's a natural athlete !!
This will give you a chuckle' ~ your sister is a docent' at Yankee Stadium on the weekends when they're in NY and loving it !!

One of our local churches will have a special 9/11' Mass today
and then we'll go visit the Memorial Wall and the 9/11' Chapel at
one of the other local churches ~ of course, we'll watch the televised ceremonies from New York. It's been so very hot down here, so I
don't think we'll walk the beach, but maybe visit the Pier and gaze out at the beach and water, as they were always one of your favorite places to be.

May you be resting in the loving arms of our Lord, with all the family,
Andrea and Aunt Mary by HIS side ~ know that no amount of time lessens your loss or eases the pain ~ you are in our thoughts and prayers each and every day ~ we luv you ~ GOD BLESS..

Luv,
Mom and Dad xoxo

Dearest Michael,
Thinking of you with so much love and prayers. I am so sorry to see that Regina has passed. May God Bless her and keep you together in his arms forever. May God Bless your beautiful family and prayers for them to find peace. Losing Regina is so heartbreaking. I have so many beautiful memories growing up with your Mom and her family. Pat, Michael, Regina and Alice
Were just like having more siblings. They are always in my heart
And I keep them in my prayers. God Bless you Michael. I know you are watching over your beautiful family. Love Lucille and Joe Bonomolo

Happy Birthday sweet nephew....thinking about you today, as it is your special day. Memories of you are so easy to think about because of who you were and the kind and thoughtful things you did. None of that will ever change...not for me or your family. I do however wish you could be here with us to get through the tough times. Covid is still around (it is improving) but still keeping families apart...but we all speak often on the phone. Your Godmother, Aunt Gina is not doing well...so watch over her...as I know you probably do. I will probably be traveling to NY soon to help Uncle Mike take care of her. Enough about the tough times...more about you. I love and miss you very much. You will forever be in my heart...my thoughts and prayers. Please continue to watch over all of us here...I pray you are at peace and always remember...I will never forget.

Love and prayers,

`Happy Birthday´, my beloved son ~ `58´ today ~ hard to believe, as it seems like yesterday......today is Holy Thursday, so no Mass ~ we missed the Prayer Service this morning as Dad had to bring his T-Bird in for service ~ we stopped at St. Williams but the doors were locked, so, I´ll say my prayers for you at home...

Please watch over your friend Mark Wagner as he recovers from a horrific car accident ~ also ask you to intercede for my friend´s daughter, Lauren, as she goes for her second attempt at a fertility Implant ~ ask St. Gerard to watch over her and keep her safe ......

Thank you for watching over dad as he traversed this difficult road with his heart issues (I know you left that dime in the ER to let us know you were) and as always,
watch over your brother, sister and nephew and now
your Godmother Regina who has a serious health issues ......take care my love, Rest In Peace in HIS arms
during this Holy Week ~ luv and miss you every minute of every day ~ GOD BLESS .....

My darling boy,

Soo very sorry I missed wishing you a ‘Merry Christmas’ ~ it’s been a strange and difficult season this year ~
Dad has had some health issues and we can’t seem to resolve themwe decided to drive up to NC for the holiday this year ~ on the way up he had an incident on the road and we had to stop, almost turned around and went back home ~ that kind of put a damper on things, though we tried to make the most of it ~ had a nice holiday, especially with James III ~ he’s a wonderful child, you would get a big kick out of him ~ he’s so much into the military and making models and does a great job ~ he was all decked out in his fatigues, army hat and his
rifle when we drove up to the house and was saluting dad/I ~ (his ‘aka’ is General Patton, whom he idolizes and dad is Major Colonel Sticks ~ I’m either Mussolini or Yamamoto, depending on the battle we’re waging) ~ was soo good to see him and spend the holiday with all of them, he came back to the hotel with us each night, had his bag packed and ready by the door .

We’re all still experiencing the effects of the pandemic, though dad and I are fully vaccinated and boostered,
Denise was very sick and hospitalized but is doing ok now, Danny has it now but very mildly as he’s fully
vaccinated ~ Lil Tricia as well a bout with it ..

So my love, so sorry I missed Christmas Day but you were, as you always are, in our thoughts and prayers ~
Luv you

Luv,
Mom xoxo

Dear Michael,

Twenty years have gone by, but it still seems like yesterday and it just doesn't get any easier. I think of you so often and wonder what could have been. I still choose to only think of the good times that you and the family spent together. You were such a big part of that. You will always be there in our thoughts and prayers. I will be spending the day with friends and neighbors at our Club House for a Memorial service to remember this sad day. I wish i could be with your parents today and spend time with them to remember all the great times of the past that we shared. I know in my heart that you are looking down on all of us and watching over us. I pray that you are at peace. I love and miss you so much. You will always be a part of me and no matter how many years go by, you are forever with me...I will never forget.

Love,

My Darling Boy,

20' years, and still it is as if we lost you yesterday ~ you would be 57' years old ~ who would you be, where would you be, would you be a dad ~ so many thoughts go through my mind as I wonder' ~ this Anniversary is particularly difficult as we remember watching on TV and seeing the WTC buildings struck and then falling ~ those days after we lost you are imbedded in our hearts and souls ~ listening to any reports we could find as we tried to find you on the lists posted while stranded in Eastern Europe, trying to get home ~ the special Mass at the local church, St. Mychals, in Prague, going to the airport every day and returning to the hotel after being turned away once again, the cab driver who after the second day of returning to the hotel, waited after that to see if we were able to get on a plane and then taking us back again ~ he did this for (6) days ~ so compassionate and caring, may GOD BLESS him ~ Aunt Angela and Uncle Joe constantly at our sides and waiting at the hotel for us every day ~ what would we have done without them

We watched the newsreels today, probably the first time, in their entirety of that fateful September morning ~ tears flowing but something, this year, we felt we had to do ~ it was surreal and devastating ~ I pray that GOD
opened HIS arms and took you to HIM ~ to lose you in such a tragic way is still incomprehensible to us ~ today the news also showed all the children of those lost that morning, that were born after 9/11, who and where they are today ~ such heartbreak and sadness ~ it was a very difficult task to watch it all but something we had to do ~ did it bring us peace or ease the pain, no.

We feel your loss each and every day that passes ~ time does not heal all wounds', the chair is always empty', the hole in our hearts never heals', we cannot and will not EVER FORGET ~ your smile, your laugh, your silly jokes and your steadfast love and devotion for us, your morning phone call is always missing, never to return we pray that you are at peace and in the arms of your beloved grandparents ~ rest my darling and know that you are in our hearts and missed always ~ GOD BLESS ..

Luv

20 years since we lost you and still it’s like yesterday ~ som much going on in this world today ~ often wonder what you’re thoughts would be ~ has been a complex year for so many ~ Denise was very, very ill with the COVID virus but TG is doing well now .......you’d be sooo very proud of your nephew James, what a terrific kid ~ so smart and such a great athlete, baseball player ~ he
plays three positions, pitcher, outfield, short stop and just starting playing ‘catcher’ ~ reminiscent of anyone ......hoping this birthday finds you resting at peace with all those that have gone before you ~ give them all our luv ~ not a day goes by that you are not in our thoughts and missed ~ luv you so very much, the loss never leaves us .....

My darling boy, please forgive my tardiness this Christmas ~ could not access the site ~ cable, aol and ATT issues.....a very strange Christmas this year due do the pandemic that the world has been dealing with ~
since dad and I both have underlying issues, no one came down and we did not go up for the Christmas holiday ~ we had a very quiet Eve and Christmas Day but did the best we could ~ the ‘silence’ only made us more aware of your loss ~ so many memories were recalled of all the past family gatherings which were sometimes dominated by you, Jimmy, Dana and your cousins ~ what wonderful celebrations they were ~ soo very missed by dad and I but never forgotten ~ smiles, laughter, camaraderie, lots of good food....... due to the pandemic, we haven’t seen James III for over a year ~ very hard to be so removed from family and friends ......so, my love, I wish you peace
and love with all those with you, give them our luv and know that dad and I miss you all terribly, especially you,
our beloved son ~ GOD BLESS ......

Oh Michael...19 years.... it's still is so fresh in our minds. This day never gets easier for me and our family. Today is the day we think only of you and how we miss you. On this day I choose to remember all of the good times that you shared with us....the family gatherings...the baseball and hockey games....especially watching the Islanders and Rangers games at your parents house. Even though the family was divided on the teams...we were united as a family and always had fun. Later I will join some friends outside the Club for a Flag ceremony. We will not be able to gather together afterwards as usual because of the continuing restrictions in place due to this horrible pandemic. It has been a tough year for everyone but hopefully we will get through it. Your cousin Tricia went back to school and is now a certified first responder. She works very long hours but loves the work and helping others. your newest cousin ...my granddaughter Rory is 18 months old already and she is a real chatter box like her mother. I pray you are at rest and you are always in my heart....and today and forever...I will never forget.

Love and miss you so much, Aunt Alice xoxoxox

Another year, 19', my darling boy and still it is like yesterday ....

It's been a difficult year for our family and our country (we lost our Lily last month, see her everywhere) ~ such turbulent times we are living in right now ~ I worry so about your brother and his family, your sister and all the young ones in our family, especially your nephew James ~ don't know what kind of world they will be living in ....
I know if you were here things would be better for all of them .....

As always, dad and I will go to church, no Masses yet, or stop by the Freedom Memorial here in Naples ~ no walk on the beach this year for several reasons but, perhaps, we'll drive to the Pier and gaze out and think of how much you luved the beach and the water ....oh my darling son, you are so missed, your smile, your humor, your caring ~ sure could use some or all of that right now ~ there's not a day goes by that dad and I do not think of you and how different things would be if you were here with us today ~ I wish you peace and send our everlasting luv that is always with you, my luv ~ may GOD keep you close to HIM .....

Luv
Mom and Dad xoxo

To honor your gift for helping others, as we were made aware of, not by you, of course, but by so many of those who attended your Memorial, and due to the situation all of America is in this year, I cooked and delivered meals to a few of our neighbors/friends ~
I felt so close to you while dad drove me around and
I delivered, in my mask/gloves ~ you were such a special man, my love and missed, but remembered by sooo very many ~ luv you yesterday, today and all the
tomorrows.......

Happy Birthday dear nephew. As always I and the family still miss you so much. My thoughts today are only about you....how you were always there for everyone...not just family but friends too. Your sense of humor...you always had a funny thing to say. Your thoughtfulness, your concern for others...I will never forget that...it was always there. There is so much going on now with this global virus. We are all isolated from our family and friends. All of us are doing the right thing...but it is very lonely...so stay with us and help us get through it. My beautiful granddaughter Rory is a year old already. I so wish that you could see her. She is truly a joy. So as this day passes...I will have you on my mind....with love....and sorrow that you aren't here. I love and miss you...and as always I will never forget.
Love Aunt Alice xoxoxo

HAPPY 56th BIRTHDAY, my dearest son ~ every year on this special day of yours, I think of how you struggled to enter this world and then the tragic way you left it ~ as I have said many times, time does not heal all wounds ~ the hole is my heart is always there..
Will be a very different year for us this year due to the pandemic ~ all churches and beaches are closed here, so no Mass and no stroll on the beach but, as you always are, you will be in our thoughts and prayers ~
so rest my darling boy, please watch over us ~ TG, so far, we and the family are all well ~ GOD BLESS !!

Happy Easter my darling boy, another holiday without you, 'the empty chair' still empty, the 'smile', the 'laugh', still missing ~ though a very different holiday this year ~ we are fighting a pandemic ~ the Corona Virus 19 ~ it's a world wide crisis ~ so many deaths, hospitalizations ~ anyone
travelling is put under a 14 day quarantine ~ no lockdown yet in FL but told no unnecessary trips ~ only to the market or pharmacy when needed
wearing gloves/masks / can go for daily walks but must be 6-10 feet apart,
we go every morning for a walk, enjoying the lanai a lot more than ever ....
Jimmy et al cannot come down, we'll sure miss our 'little man' but we all must follow the government guidelines if we want to beat this plague, which many are still not doing.....Dana was on a journey in Europe and decided with several others to 'stay put', as NY is a very bad hot spot ~
doesn't think she'll be able to get back much before June ......Dad and I will do the best we can ~ all schools and churches are closed until further notice ~ very strange holiday indeed ....hopefully GOD, who I'm sure is very disappointed in the world HE created, will forgive us and show HIS
mercy to us all .....

So, son, our love to you always ~ be at peace and rest ~ GOD BLESS you on this Holiest of Holidays ...

Luv
Mom and Dad
xoxo ❤❤

Michael-

I think of you often..

The hockey games in grammar school at lunch with an eraser.

The endless Islander-Ranger arguments.

The joy of being teammates on CYO baseball when your dad coached us.

The life lessons learned in Scouts. The epic weekend trips and of course Camp Onteora.

Navigating through the Chaminade era. How did we survive that?

Running into you that night in the Hamptons and putting a dent in a case of beer.

Running into you at the WTC when I was looking to switch careers from bonds to power.

The pain from that day is an open wound and it still does not seem real. I have come to realize that it will never go away.

My condolences to your Mom, Dad, siblings, family, friends.

Love & Peace.

My Dearest Boy,

Here we are 18 years later, another Christmas Day without you ~ it does not get easier ~ your smile, your laugh, your silly jokes, where are they ~ these are the memories we all cherish and which come forth at these Holidays ~ Dad and I are alone this year, first time in 56' years ~ how I miss our family holiday dinners ~ great food, wonderful sharing, funny stories and always an extra chair for whoever might join us ~ wonderful family memories that are always missed, but never forgotten.....we spent the Eve with our good friends the Matthews and their daughter/son-in-law ~ they are so very kind ~ they want us to come today for Christmas dinner but we'll go to Mass and spend the day quietly at home ......

We have a new family member, Ms. Rory Michaela', Caryn's daughter born on February 25th who will be celebrating her
1st Christmas' this year ~ I well remember your first Christmas ~
such a fun day, Grandma had more fun with all the toys you got than you did, especially the battery operated Monkey she bought you ~ we are blessed to have such warm memories .....only wish we were all closer, so we could share these special moments with each her, as we all shared those special moments together as you all grew up ~ things change but our love and thoughts for each other remain the same ~ we miss my darling boy always and forever ~ rest in HIS care ~ GOD BLESS and MERRY CHRISTMAS.....

Luv

18 years, my beloved son and still it is a raw wound ~ hearts that never heal, the chair that is never filled ~ celebrations not shared, holidays without you ~ sadly, my love, time does not heal all wounds .....know that you are loved and missed every moment of every day by all the family and our friends ~ so many messages, though many forget, all these years later, there are so many who do remember and always let us know that you and we are in their prayers and thoughts on this September morning ......as always, Dad and I attended the 9/11 Anniversary Mass at St. Peters for the Victims and First Responders ~ Fr. Crutch, who was in NY that fateful September morning and for many days after serving those in need in St. Pauls Church right outside the WTC disaster area, con celebrated the Mass ~ always so very meaningful ~ take care my love, be at peace in the arms of Our Blessed Mother and her beloved Son ~ GOD BLESS .....

Dear Michael,
It has been 18 long years without you here and it still seems like yesterday. The years go by but your memory never fades. You will always be with me and our family, as we miss you so much...your smile....your laugh..and everything you did. How I wish that you could be here with us to see your nephew James play baseball (he's quite the athlete...we may have a Pro in the family) and my little granddaughter Rory..who is six months old already. Today your cousin Tricia and I will be going to the 911 ceremony in our community....where we gather with friends and neighbors to remember you and all the others that left us so suddenly that day. The pain and sorrow never really leaves us...but we go forward knowing that you will always be in out hearts and looking down from heaven and watching over us. No matter how much time goes by...I...we our family will never forget.

Loving and missing you always,
Aunt Alice ...xoxoxox

I do have news for you....I am a grandma now...your cousin Caryn had a little girl in February...she named her Rory Michaela....she arrived 5 weeks early but is doing well. She was very tiny...but I remember how you were not afraid to hold Caryn when she was born and was that small too. I so wish you were here to share this wonderful time with us. I always feel your presence and know you are watching over our family. I pray that you are at peace and as always I will never forget.....loving you always.....Aunt Alice xoxoxo

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, my love ~ your 55th birthday ~ so hard when these very special days come along to not be sharing them with you ......I sit here, and as I always do, reflect on memories past and wonder where would you be today, who would you be today, what would you think of the craziness of this world we live in, would you be a dad ~ a wonderful dad you would have been ...the empty chair, the missing part of our family, the broken hearts that do not heal .....so many questions, ifs .....

On a happier note, my love, we have a new addition to our family ~ Ms Rory Michaela Johnson ~ Caryn had a baby girl in February
who arrived quite a few weeks early and was so tiny but she is thriving now, TG ~ needless to say, Aunt Alice is over the moon, as are we all ~ theres nothing like a new baby in the family to bring smiles and happiness.....we hope to get up to see her over the summer ......

Your nephew is doing well ~ quite a good little ball player ~ hes on a tournament team and will play in SC in May ~ well be there, of course, where else would we be ~ hard to believe hell be 10 this November .......

Well, my darling son, I wish you a blessed birthday in heaven with those you love and are with ~ my love to them all ~ as always, dad and I will go to Mass and walk the beach ~ we luv and miss you each and every day of our lives ~ GOD BLESS !!!!

Oh My Darling Boy,

17' years and still like it was yesterday ....
As always, we attended the 9/11' Mass and
service at St. Peter's this morning .....many
first responders are parishioners, so St. Peter's
always remembers', as do our friends and family ....

You are never far from us, in thought and spirit,
Dad and I as always, at 8:45 am think of the calls
we always had and how he would have been talking
with you when the plane struck @ 8:46, something
that looms over us always .......again, I did not go
up to NY and it troubles me not to be at the Memorial
Services there or go to Holy Rood, has been a difficult
couple of months, perhaps next year .....

Our spirits were lifted though when your nephew
called to check on us ~ he's our life ~ you would
adore him ~ a great little baseball player and he
knows all the players and their positions, so good
for dad as they have great discussions......such a
bright, thoughtful and caring little guy, only wish we
lived closer .......well my luv, I'll say good night' for
now, rest well in GOD and Our Lady's care ~ always
in our hearts ~ GOD BLESS .....,

Luv
Mom and Dad xoxo

Dear Michael,

Another year has flown by and still I miss you so much. There are times that I find myself talking to you out loud as I walk around the house or involved in a garden project. Sometimes I can almost hear you answering me. So much going on in the family....none of us are getting any younger. This day i will be joining my neighbors and watch a 911 parade go through the community...we will then all have breakfast together and talk about that day..where we were and what we did. Of course I will never forget what our family went through. It really never does get easier....I as does your Godmother Aunt Gina and Uncle Mike will never forget that day or ever forget you. We never speak of you in the past tense...because you are always with us. Always stay with us and continue to watch over us. As always...I love and miss you and I will never forget.

Love, Aunt Alice xoxo

Happy Birthday my darling boy,

Another year, another birthday without you ~ '54' today ~ doesn't seem possible ~ remembering the morning you came into this world, a difficult time for you but oh what joy when we finally held you ......as always, my luv, dad and I went to Mass and walked the beach, which you so loved ~ always such a calming effect on us, as if you would show up at any moment, if only ~ know that you are loved and missed always ~ even by your nephew, who is becoming more and more aware of you, who you were and why at certain times of the year, his dad is very quiet and sad, as are we ~ you would get a big kick out of James, who is so much like 'you' in so many, many ways .....wishing you a most peaceful birthday,
one day we will be with you again to celebrate it together ~ all our love, today and always .....

Hello Michael. I discovered today that our two families had a close enough relationship at some point in time that the Tamuccios sponsored a Marcoccio (my mother Concetta) during her baptism. Out of respect for your family's divine connectedness with my grandparents, and my mother - I wish to give my eternal thanks and gratitude for the selfless and loving gift and leave your family my sincerest condolences. I am only two years older than you... And I see that you accomplished so much... You will forever keep you in my prayers.

My Dear Darling Son,

A very trying year, this '16th Anniversary - had a visit from 'Hurricane Irma' - quite an experience but thank GOD and 'you', we came through it with no major issues - lost trees and landscaping, pool cage screens and a leak I. dad's office - nothing compared to the dire straits that so many others experienced and are still suffering through - we feel truly 'blessed'.

I've found it very difficult to write this year - only GOD knows why cause I surely don't - perhaps it had something to do with the message you sent us - when Aunt Dolores sent us that photo that Jennifer took while watching the Memorial Events on 9/11, chills ran up and down my spine - it felt surreal but somehow, I KNEW it was a message from you letting us know that you had been watching over us as we weathered the onslaught of 'Irma' ..... and weather it we did - thank you my luv - I've always felt you were near but now I 'KNOW' how very close you always are ....

Difficult times in the family right now - please watch over Aunt Alice and Aunt Gina who are struggling through some major health issues - especially Aunt Alice - so difficult to be so far from them.....

On a happier note, your nephew, as I'm sure you might already know, hit a 'grand slam home run' last week - he was sooo excited and a triple in his next game - Jimmy was asked to be an assistant coach and so he is the third base coach - he has come so far in these past two years, Michael, and I know it's been with your help, he prays to you all the time - please keep up your 'watchful eye' - i know I ask a lot of you, my luv but you were always the 'heart and strength' of our family - as you are now - you are so luved and so dearly missed -
be at rest and know you are always in our thoughts - not a day goes by that dad doesn't mention your name - GOD BLESS !!

Luv
Mom and Dad xoxo

Here we are again...another year has passed without you. The hurt and sadness never really leaves you. You my dear nephew were such a part of all of our lives, that we continue to struggle without you. I have many fond memories of you and hold you close to my heart. I know that you are always looking down and watching over us. In the past I have asked you to watch over your Godmother through her illness, but now I ask that you watch over me. I have a long road ahead of me dear boy as I have bladder cancer and will need you to keep me on track. I wish you were here to give me some words of encouragement, but I know you will send them to me somehow. I pray that you are at peace and as always, I will never forget. I love and miss you.

'HAPPY BIRTHDAY', darling boy - '53' today - where have the years gone - sitting here remembering the morning you came into this world - not an easy time for either of us but such joy when we held you in our arms ....not a day goes by that you are not in our thoughts and prayers - how often I ask for you to watch over our family and wish you were here with us .....

No Mass this morning as it is Good Friday, services this afternoon which we will attend and think of you and ask for God's peace for you .... oh Michael, you are missed so dearly each and every day by all of us - your nephew is now at an age where he asks about you a lot - sometimes not understanding why you can't be here with us - he so reminds 'all' of us of you in so many ways - you'd get a big kick out of him ....

Wishing you eternal peace and happiness on this special day of yours, we luv and miss you, the 'hole in our hearts' is always there as is the 'empty chair' at our table -
GOD BLESS my darling son .....

Luv always,

Dear Michael,

Fifteen years! Fifteen years without you here. It still seems like yesterday...it really doesn't get any easier as the years go by. I often think about all of the things our family has missed without you. I try not to dwell on the sorrow and prefer to think of the happy times we have shared together...but there are days that I just can't. I miss everything about you....your smile...your sense of humor...your caring thoughts and advice when I needed to talk. I know you are looking down on all of us as I can almost feel you there in the room when I look at your picture. You will always be in my heart,and as always...I will never forget. I love and miss you sweet nephew...rest in peace.

Love, Aunt Alice xoxoxo

Dear Mike,
I believe that you know, but wanted to let your Mom know too that you are remembered and spoken about by myself and our friends from our youth at Sacred Heart and Chaminade. We recount our favorite stories about our time together and laugh out loud. Stories about your sense of humor, your sportsmanship and intelligence are the main subjects of our rememberences. We all know you would have been a great man and for this we are sadden and angry by your early departure. For the rest of our lives, from time to time and especially on this day we will shed tears for our loss. Rest in peace my friend. We will never forget you.

Patricia Tamuccio

September 10, 2016

My Darling Boy,

'15' years and it still is like 'yesterday' I did not go up to NY this year - dad and Jimmy were very concerned about my safety and with all that Jimmy goes through, I didn't want to upset him more than was necessary ...

The 'Freedom Memorial', started here in Naples almost 15 years ago was finally completed - the dedication was on Friday and, of course, Dad and I went - many more than was expected showed up, which was so appreciated by all - we couldn't find your brick - too many people, news cameras, etc - there is another ceremony today at 12:00pm - we will attend and then seek out your brick ....

As always, we will attend the 9/11 Memorial Mass but this year at another church,
St. John the Evangelist - still so very hard to find ourselves attending these memorials, still so hard to comprehend your loss, the hole in our hearts that just never heals - our family is not the same, will never be the same, I know I've said it before, but 'time does not heal all wounds'
some just cannot be healed and your loss is one of those - I look at your pictures and
'wonder' - where would be be, what would he look like now at '52', would he have a family - so many things you were deprived of, we all were deprived of, your smile, your laugh, your support, all that was you and is now so sorely missed...

Your nephew, so like you, started TBall this year - won their first game, 3 times at bat, two hits and an RBI - wouldn't you be'whooping' it up for him - as I write this, the tears are flowing - this year has hit us soo hard, who knows why - every year, every day is hard but for some reason
this year is very difficult - know that you are sorely missed and dearly loved, my son,
be at peace with all those who have gone before you - I know you are in good hands -
GOD BLESS ....

All our love always,
Mom and Dad xoxo

Dear Michael....Happy Birthday dear nephew. As always I think of you often. The years go by but I never stop missing you. I know that they say life goes on....but without you here it is not easy... it is very difficult for everyone in our family. I speak of you often with my girls and they always remember something funny that you did and even though we laugh..we are sad. I pray that you are at peace in heaven.. you are forever in my heart and on my mind...and as always I will never forget.

'Happy Birthday', my love - '52' years today - what would your life be like - dad and I often wonder - not a day goes by that we don't wonder and say, 'what would he be doing, where would he be today'.....would you have a family, we so,often wish we had a part of you with us still - though your nephew, our life, makes us 'all' think of you - he has so
many of your traits and gifts - that retentive mind/photogenic memory-
he doesn't forget a thing (just like,you'd say, 'don't you remember') ....
loves to learn and is a great athlete, you'd love him - Jimmy always says Mike would have loved this kid and you would have ...

It's hard to believe there have been '15' birthdays without you .....
so much going on in the family, sometimes wish we had your wisdom with us. As always, dad and I will go to Mass and then walk the beach, so peaceful//serene - we find comfort there.

We wish you peace and happiness on your special day, my love,
know that you are loved more each day and missed beyond
understanding - it does not get easier, nor does time heal all
wounds - luv you ....

Luv
Mom/Dad xoxo

Dearest Michael, I watched the Pope give prayers at the World Trade Center today. His blessing was beautiful and all he had to say was so touching. Joey and I found it so difficult to hold back our tears. We will never forget the message we received from your Aunt Alice. I thought in my heart that the waterfalls represent the tears that loved ones shed could never be enough. You are always in our prayers. May GOD Bless you and your loving family always.

My Darling Boy,

Yet another year has come ~ '14' years ~ and still it is like it was yesterday....not a moment, an hour, a day goes by that you are not in our thoughts ~ 8:45 every morning, dad and I look at each other, your phone call always came at that exact time each day ~ how we wish that call would come ..... as always, we went to the 9/11 Memorial Mass at St. Peter's this morning ~ each year it brings less and less people but the firemen and policemen always send their representatives, the bag pipes play and the choir sings ~ sad to see the numbers who 'remember' dwindle ~ it never gets easier, and we can 'never forget', my love ~ the heart of our family was lost that fateful September morning ~
our prayers are for peace, may you be at rest and at peace with Jesus, our Blessed Mother Mary and GOD Our Father, whom I always ask to keep you close .....

GOD BLESS, our beloved son, you are loved .....

Luv

Fourteen years have passed and the sadness I feel just doesn't go away. It doesn't get any easier as time passes. On this day I choose to just think of you and remember only you. Remember all of the good and fun times our family has shared through the years. There are days, like today, that I find myself talking to your picture and in my heart I know you hear me. You are always with me. I pray that you are at peace in heaven and know how much I miss you. You will forever be in my heart and on my mind...and as always...I will never forget. I love you.
Love, Aunt Alice xoxoxo

May God Bless you and your loving family. we will never forget you.

My Darling Boy,

'HAPPY '51st' BIRTHDAY' ~ yet another birthday not shared with you ~ such a difficult day ..... as always, Dad and I will go to Mass and then walk the beach ~ you so loved the beach and the quiet and serenity is healing to us, though nothing will ever heal the 'holes in our hearts' ~ time really does not heal all wounds ...

My computer was hacked and my AOL account ~ didn't realize it until we were home from NC ~ thus I wasn't able to send you a 'Happy Easter' from all of us ~ the 'empty chair' of course made us all think of you ~ you are always missed and soo loved ~ your nephew is soo much like you, it's so uncanny ~ even Jimmy sees it and has mentioned it to me ~ you would have loved this little guy ~ so smart and soo into 'sports' ~ just like his daddy and his uncle ....

Be at peace my love and know how much you are loved and missed ~
'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' .....

Luv
Mom and Dad xoxo

My Darling Boy,

Yet another year has gone by without you and still it is the same for us without you - the 'empty chair', the lack of your laughter and cammaraderie still so hard for all of us ....

Jimmy, Christina, JT and Dana all came down for a Florida Christmas this year. So, of course, because of our 'little man' we decorated and actually put up a tree - something we haven't done since we lost you - it was wonderful having everyone here together - don't often get to do that and of course, JT was enthralled with everything - you would just adore him - he is soo loving, affectionate,caring and sooo very smart - TG he's very close to us and adores his 'papa' - has been a lifesaver for all of us ....

Here it is the day after New Year and I'm only getting to send you a Christmas wish - our cable/computer system has been down and now we are back online .... I wish you peace and love always - you are always in our thoughts and prayers and are missed each and every day of our lives - we love and miss you dearly....

Luv
Mom and Dad xoxo

My Darling Boy,

Another year - '13 years' - hard to comprehend that you have been gone all these many years - it's as if it were yesterday and I guess it always will be. Dad and I went to the 9/11 Remembrance Mass that St. Peter the Apostle holds every year - there are many retired firemen and policemen in that parish - it's a beautiful tribute to all of those lost that 'fateful' September morning. We did not walk the beach as we usually do as I had a mishap recently and so Dad didn't want me walking in the sand. Jimmy and I were talking this morning, of course, about you and all the things he misses especially you 'having his back' - 'he was always there for me Mom, I just wish he were here so he would know my son - he makes me think so much of Mike, it's uncanny some of the things he does and says'. It's so true Michael, he has a memory just like yours, never but never forgets a thing and is one heck of an athlete - you would get a big kick out of him. Oh, Michael, so many things, holidays, celebrations, just get togethers and that 'empty chair' is always there - to think you would have been '50' this year - where would you be, who would you be, what would your family be like - how you are loved and missed - the loss and ache soo unbearable. I wish you peace my love and hope/know that you are in the 'palm of HIS hand' - please, as always, watch over your brother, your loss is sometimes too hard for him and all of us - your loss is always felt, you are never far from our thoughts and prayers each and every day - know that you are loved always.

Luv
Mom and Dad xoxo

Dear Michael,
Another year passes and the feelings of sadness are still always there. I can't seem to get a hold on it because I miss you....I miss everything about you. It never gets easier. As in the past I will spend this day alone thinking of the happier times when you were here with us and remembering your smile, your laugh and your facial expressions when one of us said something silly. You always had a way to make all of us laugh. I will go to mass this morning and pray you are at peace and ask you to always look down from heaven on our family and continue to help us get through this day. You are with me everyday, in both my thoughts and prayers....and as always I will never forget.
Love, Aunt Alice xoxox

Dear Michael...Happy 50th Birthday dear nephew. As usual on this day and others I think of you. Even as the years go by, I as all of the family still miss you terribly. Aunt Gina and I often speak about you....your ears are probably always ringing. Some good news to tell you....your cousin Tricia has gotten engaged...his name is Scott and he is a great guy...I am sure you would like him. I pray that you are at peace in heaven and I know you are watching over all of us....because your picture keeps moving....are you trying to tell me something...I'm listening....I love you and miss you....as always...I will never forget.
Love Aunt Alice xoxoxo

Happy Happy 50th Birthday, Mike! I'll raise a glass to you tonight, though I suspect you'll understand if it's a Diet Coke or non-alcoholic beer.
Love you and miss you...
