Frank Aquilino Obituary
If Frank Thomas Aquilino could have invented a 27-hour day, he would have gotten right on it.
Mr. Aquilino — F. T. to most, just F. to the closest dozens — was, like many Cantor Fitzgerald traders, young (26) and whoppingly successful (vice president and partner), a fellow in perpetual motion. What set him apart was that crackling imagination.
The boy who played cards with his sisters on the top of the refrigerator, who "borrowed" wood from construction sites to build multistory tree houses, grew into the man who was building a gambling Web site where visitors could bet on anything from sports to the weather.
That loopy inventiveness would not quit. What next from a short guy from Staten Island who danced tall and confident, who owned a red velvet shirt and black Reeboks, one of which he spray-painted white?
The ideas did more than serve financial gain and good times. As a teenager, Mr. Aquilino's best friend, Anthony Palumbo, had to use a wheelchair. "F., how can I keep my newspaper route?" he asked.
First, Mr. Aquilino tied the delivery bag to the wheelchair. Then he tied a jump-rope to his bicycle, and, with Mr. Palumbo holding onto the rope's other end, Mr. Aquilino pedaled hard, towing his buddy, day after day.

FT you were one of the "Big Kids" in the neighborhood I grew up in... I remember you were our paper boy... I remember your neon clothes, spiked hair and Reebok High tops as you and my friend´s older brothers (Vin) would terrorize us younger kids... We always knew it was out of fun... You would thrash to the woods line on your BMX bike and help us build treehouse mansions. As you got older and we got older we all looked up to you as you went from a kid that could have been in a Goonies sequel movie to a man. We all lost touch and things faded away... When I found out you were a victim to the cowards that attacked our country on that day I was beyond shocked... Reading all the great accomplishments that you achieved at such a young age pushes me to do better even in my mid 40´s... Your memory will never be forgotten...

It´s the 20th anniversary and I´m back around yet, another year. Deepest sympathies, prayers, and love to your family and friends who are hurting and missing you today and every day. I wish them peace and a calming spirit. Keep up pressing the Big Man to watch over me. I need it every day. I remain forever so sorry for you and all on this day, 9/11, that perished. So senseless. The world isn´t the same without you all that we lost on 9/11/2001. It never will be. Blessings to all and I will see you next year.

Sending thoughts from TKE to kappa psi and the family today. I was on student senate with FT and spent a lot of time at his house with the budding entrepreneur. He may have been one of the most popular people on campus at ycp. Every year at 9/11 I think literally everyone I know from ycp writes about him on their Facebook. Not sure who from the family may see this but he is not forgotten.

FT,
I think of you often, but especially when 9/11 grows near. Your charisma made York College a much better place, I can only imagine how much joy that you brought to your family and closest friends. I sincerely hope that we can meet again someday. Cheers.

To the family of Frank Aquilino, I have written previously about Frank. I had a bracelet sent from Samaritan's Purse after 9/11. On the bracelet was Frank's name, date of birth, and trade center he was in. This metal bracelet was a reminder to pray for Frank's family and to keep Frank close, by wearing the bracelet. I didn't know Frank personally because I live in the state of Tennessee. I wore my bracelet and when people would notice it and asked what was on the bracelet, I was able to tell them about this young man and was praying for his family. I still keep Frank close.... he will never be forgotten. He is known in my area of the world and people remember also. Respectively, Joan Kirkland, Rn,BS Health Arts.

Sending deepest thoughts and prayers to your family and friends on this day. I am hear, yet again, in 2020. I continue every year to honor and think about those who perished 19 years ago. It remains so sickening to me. It always will. I'm so sorry you and all of the others were victims of such senseless acts. I still am having a challenging time, but, remain faithful and optimistic for the future. Continue to ask the big man to guard me and lead me during this time. May your friends, family, and all who loved you experience peace and comfort on this day. I will see you next year.

I remember arriving in S. Korea on 9/11 in 2002 and watching the reading of the names on TV there. I waited around for his name to be read and then headed out to see my new neighborhood. When I returned an hour or so later, they were still reading names and started back at "A" for some reason. They read his name a second time. I found that to be pretty symbolic.

Hi Mr. Aquilino. I am here again, to pay my respects to you and all of the victims of that horrible day 18 years ago. Again, I send my deepest sympathies to your family and friends who hurt today. I remain so sorry that you and all of the victims were so horribly cheated out of the life you were intended to live with the rest of us. This past year has been a challenging one for me. Please ask the Big Man in the sky to send blessings to me. I could use them this year. May He comfort your family and friends today. Ill see you next year.

I never had the honor to meet Frank personally.But, I wore a bracelet sent by BGEA ministries that gave a name of someone killed by the vicious attacks of 9/11.the name on my memory bracelet is Frank's.
I have never forgotten Frank and I never will.
Your family will always be in my thoughts and prayers. Frank lives on in hearts and memories. I lost my beloved father also named Frank last year.

So sad that you're gone. I wish we can rewind time and prevent all this from happening. Please promise me you'll still watch over me. Be my light. Be my guide.

Mr. Aquilino, I am here, again, to honor you and all of the victims on this 17th anniversary. I pray for your family and friends, who hurt today, and have been cheated out of a life with you. You and all of the victims were cheated in a most horrible way. I'm so sorry. As I type this it is storming horribly in New Orleans. But, nothing compares to the storm of that horrible Tuesday in 2001. I just wanted to stop by, again, and say that I haven't forgotten. I'm so very, very sorry...

Hi, Mr. Aquilino. I'm here again..watching my Saints on this 9/11 in 2017. I haven't forgotten and I'll be straightforward...I'm so sorry. I'm sorry you've missed this journey. I'm sorry that you and your loved ones have missed this life together. Today I think about them and pray for them to have peace and think about you with loving thoughts and memories. So, it's been 16 years, yet it feels like yesterday sometimes. I'm so sorry...I allow myself to
hurt on this day. You and all of the victims deserved a life. I'm honoring you, again, on this day. I haven't forgotten. I never will. See you and your loved ones next year.

I'm here to remember again, Mr. Aquilino..yet, another year. I pray for peace and comfort on your family and friends. I will never forget 9/11. I remain so sorry that you and all were victims. It will always be the most unfair event I've ever witnessed. It's been 15 years now and we all live our lives and continue to age. We were close in age when 9/11 occurred, maybe that is why I picked you to represent 9/11 for me...It does comfort me and helps me to make sure I'll never forget. I always say to myself I need to go see my 9/11 friend every year. I'll see you next year. Peace, love, and prayers to those who miss you and love you every day.

Hey buddy- Still here thinking about you everyday. I hope one day I can meet your family. Sept11 is coming soon. Next Friday. I hope one day I can talk to your family. I dont want them to think Im crazy lol- I know we've never met and we never knew eachother but I can sense you around me watching over me. Maybe if you were still alive we would've probably ended up meeting and knowing eachother. You entered my life for a reason and I know why. Youve seen me struggle. And Now Because of you- Iam feeling fabulous :) I know you want me to meet someone who is going to treat me like how you wouldve treated me if you were still alive. But because you are no longer here to do that for me, You brought me Mike. Your friend from Highschool. And dont worry hes such a great gentleman and he treats me so good - And because of this I Thank You. Love u Buddy.
Always and forever xoxoxo

But, you turned out to be that person...a stranger in New Orleans remembers to pay you a visit every year, because, you helped me, as a person, deal with my own sadness from that day. 9/11 really did change my heart. I'll see you next year. Blessings to your family and friends on this day.

I never met you but I was introduced to you in a 9/11 memorial article years after the attack. I stumbled upon it on the internet. You are in my prayers & will continue to be. I am the mother of 3 boys. I hope one day they can grow up & be someone like you. Someone with ambition, drive, intelligence & from what your friends say an unforgettable force of a personality. Rest in peace Frank & know that your life & your story has touched so many.

Today, as thousands of bikers prepared to roll into DC, we were asked to hand in waivers and in return get a name of a person who passed on 9/11/01. I was given Frank Thomas Aquilino. His name tag was placed on the front of my bike, 1 of only 3 stickers allowed on it. Today, we rode to remember those who we lost on that day. Today, I rode for you Frank. If any family or friends are interested in pictures, id love to share them.

I didn't know you as well as others, but what I do know about you and about the legacy that you've left, speaks volumes about your character and about the love that you shared with those around you.
You are missed.

Another year passes, more quickly than the last it seems. My life is full....full of prosperity, full of love, full of hope, full of promise. Having these "things" is a blessing, results of all the life experiences I have had and others that have been shared with me. I try to be conscience, every day, that I have a small "debt" to pay. FT, thanks for having left me a better person than I was before we crossed paths.

Hey Frank, just want to let you know you are not forgotten. Every day after work in the xpress bus going home I pass the Freedom Tower and I think of you. Also I think about what you would have become if this attack never happened and what would have been. The Freedom Tower to me personally symbolizes your freedom and no more suffering. I will always think of you every day and everytime I pass that Freedom Tower. I will never forget!!! 143 -9/11...PS Thanks for secretly putting that song in my IPod. Just popped in there out of nowhere and it fits perfectly with the rest of my songs. RIP FT

Was just watching an MTV show with someone named "carly acquilino" with the fiancée and made me think of FT. Different spelling, but you get the idea. Found this site. Saw the tribute as well in the NYT. FT was extremely close with his fraternity brothers, and I was in a different fraternity, so we crossed paths a lot. He was the "cool" guy on campus, and was student senate president. I was on student senate with him for a year, and he made me feel welcome to be part of the "cool" people on student senate..lol. One thing the NYT missed on his entrepreneurial spirit was the bar he created for parties. Revolutionized parties at our school. He once claimed he made $12,000 one year doing it in the dingy basement parties, and I believe he was an accounting major...so I don't doubt this! For 3 years of college, I'd hit his house for late nights after our fraternity parties ended and I must have spent countless hours at the house. Many of my most interesting college memories happened there! We weren't terribly close, but he could make every person he knew feel like he was their best friend in seconds. Good guy. Missed by thousands from our school, especially his fraternity brothers. I felt I should write this for his family to know that he won't be forgotten, even by those not closest to him.

Dear Aquilino Family,
Another year has gone by and another Memorial Day is passing. We thought of FT today. Bill and I wanted to let you know we are thinking of you.
May 26, 2013
Just wanted to express my sympathies with the Aquilino family. I often think of FT, even though I never knew him or his family. His family set up a scholarship through York College and my son Frank T. was the recipient in 2005 (I think that was the year). I just want to say thank you and I admire your strength, your son will always be in my heart. Your generosity to other young people through the scholarship keeps your son in the hearts and prayers of many. I know he is in my prayers. Sincerely, Lisa Terranova

Hey Frank,
You don't know me but I just want to you to know that I see you in my dreams. I want to tell you something quite interesting. For the past year or so everwhere I turn and everytime I look to see what time it is, it's 9:11 am or pm but the interesting part is that the name Frank Thomas pops in my head and I dont know why and if this "Frank Thomas" even existed. And I thought to myself "Maybe he died on 9/11?, maybe I will soon meet someone with the name Frank Thomas who will sweet me off my feet haha", why was this name just suddenly popping in my head everytime I see the time "9:11"? Then a few days ago there was a memorial site in Port St Lucie Fl., and right away I spotted you. "Frank Thomas Aquilino". Right there I started tearing and I said to myself "He exists, and he passed away on 9/11." You wouldve been 38. Im turning 30. I just wanna thank you for being my guardian angel. Even though I dont know, sometimes I can feel you. I wish you were here. But I just want to let you know that Im OK and I know you will continue to watch your family and I. (Even though noone knows who Iam), but RIP Frank Thomas and You will never be forgotten. I hope someday I will meet someone just as good and wonderful as you. I know we never met but I l know you're here in spirit and I just want to say THANK YOU. Xoxo

It's been 11 years, and I never knew you, but, I made you the face of 9/11 after the tragedy occurred. I picked you for some reason, but, I know it has meaning to some, somewhere, who knew and still love you. It has been my way of healing and acceptance. I've come to this page over the years to let you and your family and friends know that I still remember, I still pray for them, still live in New Orleans, and that you still represent the sorrow of that day. God Bless--I will never forget and will see you next year. I remain terribly sorry, to this day, that 9/11 occurred and that you were an untimely victim.

I miss you everyday. Jadin Thomas started Kindergarten this year. And today, of all days, I'm going over all of the papers sent home and we are asked to explain how our child got their names. It is with extreme pride and sorrow that I get to tell the tale of why Jadin Thomas has his name. He reminds me every day to be thankful for all of my gifts. I miss you much and am thankful to have had known you! xoxo

Just sucks that you had to be a part of 9-11 history. Would have been nice if you had created your own history. I can't help but think you probably would have. Every year I sit here trying to figure out what to write. Same feeling every year. What is it? Don't really know if there's a word to accurately describe it. My prayers go out to all his friends and family today.
Martha T. Griffenberg

Hey F...
How are things? I think of you everyday...many times. Just as Omri had said in one of his previous posts, I wonder what you'd be doing these days? Would you be married? Would you have kids?
Shortly after I learned that you were gone, I had a son...I named him Jadin Thomas...he is beautiful, smart, funny, brilliant...he has so many similar traits that you had...I like to think that some of your spirit lives in him!
You know, I always thought we'd see each other again...that one day, our kids would play together...it makes me cry to think of how wrong I was. I can't imagine how your family and closest friends manage to get through the day sometimes. I guess they just remind themselves that you are always looking out for them, and that they'll see you again.
Until then...I guess we all have our warm memories of you! And, although I often forget that I can just come here and write to you...it does make me feel like maybe you're getting our notes! Miss you so much! Xoxo

There are many of us who watched in horror that targic day as so many good people were sent to the eternal homes. We pulled together as a nation, and we vowed to never forget. As we watched the memorials and specials on the tenth anniversary, we saw you mentioned many times, and wish that we had known you well enough to call you FT. Our hearts and prayers continue to lift up your friends and family as they struggle to understand how this could have happened. Much love from Texas..

FT, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers on this 11th day of September, 2011. I can only imagine all the new improvements you must have made in these pass 10 years up in Heaven. Or is it Club Heaven by now? May you continue to inspire us all in spirit as you did in flesh. You will never be forgotten.
