Alex Ciccone Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 23, 2001.
Friendly Rivalry

Alex Ciccone was a very big fan of the New York Mets. His wife, Stephanie, who he met on a blind date in the late 1980's, came from a family that loved the Yankees. "That was a problem," she said. "We had a lot of fun with that."

Mr. Ciccone, 38, was a vice president at Marsh Inc., the insurance brokerage subsidiary of Marsh & McLennan Companies. With a staff of eight, he was a rising star. "I had a conversation with one of my bosses about a month before Sept. 11," said Bruce Pepchinsky, who was Mr. Ciccone's boss for four years. "The strong indication was that Alex would be promoted to senior vice president. He was a great problem solver, an executive who treated his staff as students as opposed to a big bad boss."

When he was not putting in 12- or 13-hour days at work, Mr. Ciccone loved to hang out in his yard in New Rochelle, N.Y., with his son, Stephen, 6, and his daughter, Julia, 5.

He was also a big Bruce Springsteen fan. But Annette Casarella, his sister, associates her brother with another recording artist. "He wore out a 45 record of `Lean on Me,' by Bill Withers," she said. "When we were little I can remember his playing it over and over and over. Last summer, before this happened, we talked about how much he loved that song."

Today my family and I visited the reflection wall. After reviewing the video I took while there, Alex's name appeared. I wanted to know a little about him. I Googled his name. He sounds like the type of man I would have called a friend. His name will always be in our family video. Each time we watch this video we will rember Alex and the family that lost him. God Bless you.

Two days ago on the 13th anniversary of the attacks, my university put on a memorial service where we planted an American flag and the name of a 9/11 victim in the middle of a cross. I was able to spend several minutes in prayer for you and your family and for the innocent people whose lives were taken that day. I pray that there is peace for you and your family. I hope that you can see how many people remember you and love you and cannot wait to see you again. I am so happy I pulled your name -- that I could know you in some small way. You will live on.

A photo I took at the memorial last year. I just wanted to share.

Hey Alex, family and friends.. Today is March 31, 2012 and my name is also Alex. I went to the 9/11 memorial today for the first time (I'm from Miami) and I decided to pick one of the people who passed on that day who's name is Alex. I didnt know who to pick but this made sense. I wanted to connect with at least one person out of the thousands. I left you a flower today in the period that follows your middle name on your memorial. (F.) So I hope your family is forever blessed with happiness and I just want to send my love to you Alex and everyone who you loved or loved you back.

Well here it is again. Another year gone by without you. I cant believe its been ten years since that dreaded day. Not a day goes by that I dont think of you. Whether it is listening to Bruce or talking to your children on Facebook. You will always be in my heart. The memories that I have of you will always be a reminder of what a terrific cousin you were and I am so blessed to have had that in you. Love and miss you so very much
Rest in Peace.

Hi Alex:

As we all wait to honor you for the 9th anniversary of 9/11 I can't help but feel so much sadness as I see Stephen and Julia grow up without you here. Their lives were blessed with you for a short time but you live in them each and every day. You will always be a part of us...we love and miss you forever.

Until we meet again may God Bless you.
Love, Stefanie, Stephen and Julia

September 10, 2010

Hi Alex,

I just started crying as i read Joseph's message to you. I had no idea he left you one. You would be very proud of the Bruce fan I created in him. I so wish you were here so see Stephen and Julia and my 3 boys grow up together. I will forever keep your memory alive in them with little stories of us growing up.

Love you and miss you,
Your sister,
Annette

Dear Alex,
Once again the anniversary of 9/11 is approaching us and I think of you with sadness in my heart.. I miss you soo much. Jessica will be on leave and going to ground zero to HONOR you in her full uniform. I know that you are watching out for her as several signs were giving to her... Like when she was at her wits end studying for a test and "lean on me" came on the radio,she knew at that point you were there with her and that she would make it... I thank you for that... Miss you so much. rest in peace Alex.. until we see each other again....

October 18, 2008

Dear Alex,
9/11 ... a day, a date, a momentus time in US history. For me it is a constant reminder of the loss of a family member. That cute little blonde haired little boy so welcomed by Mary and Angelo... the first born... the cherished son. I remember the announcement so well. To me...a cousin, kind, quiet and understated in his impact on his family.
I see your mother, your father and your sister...there is a void, a vacuous emptiness that can never be filled. There is no need to ask how they feel.. it is always there..that pain, that missing link that longing.....
Like the others that have written in this space Alex, I too think of you often. I too pray for your mom, dad, Annette, Stephanie, Stephen and Julia.
I walk into both my children's rooms and see your picture on their mirrors... although they never really "knew" you as i did, somehow they feel the connection..you're family...our loss...we share in that pain.
May you be somewhere where we will meet again.
We love you Alex.
Jo-Ann, Anthony, Michael and Kari

Alex.
I went to see Bruce the other night (July 31) and he touched my hand... I was so excited. I had front row seats. I am sure you witnessed the whole thing, with the great seats that you have in heaven. It was an amazing concert as always. I miss going to the concerts with you. but I am sure that you have not missed one yet.
Love and miss you sooooo much....

Dear Alex,

I can't believe another year has gone by without you. The pain of losing you is still so strong. I realize now that I miss knowing that you were just a phone call away. My memories of you grow stronger every day and I keep them locked in my heart.

I know you were with us on Sunday. And I know that you were right beside Annette giving her the strength to read the names. She was great. As was Julia when she read your name at the dedication of the Rising. We are all so proud of the both of them as I know you are.

You are in my heart always.

Miss you

My memories of all the fun times we had growing up will live within me forever. This holiday season had been very difficult for me, but knowing that you are watching over me makes it bearable. There were a few times this year, that we almost got to see each other, but your spirit pulled me thru. I miss you Alex, and I know that you are right here with me, guiding me. Merry Christmas.

Dear Alex,

The Holidays are upon us again and each year gets harder and harder for us, because you are not here. I miss and love you so much. I now work across from where you worked and I see your face smiling down on me as I walk across the WTC. I also hear you say "Aunt Rosie you told me not to work there and here you are working in the same place". I know you are watching over me and over our family. It hurts so much to know that you are not here to share in the joy of my first grandchild's birth. I also know that your two grandmothers are taking good care of you. Rest in peace my beautiful nephew. Know that we love and miss you more each day. Merry Christmas in Heaven.

Love you

On September 11, 2002 our family got together, but not for our family reunion, but to mourn the loss of someone so special a year ago. Our family will never be complete without you. There is a void so big that nothing will fill it. We talk of you often. Each of us have our special "ALEX" stories and memories that we share with each other when we are together. Through these walks down memory lane, your legacy will live on in our family FOREVER. I can not even begin to tell you how much you are missed. I treasure all the times we were together, and will speak of them often. Rest In Peace my sweet, dear cousin.

Alex,



We thought of you with love today but that is nothing new.

We thought about you yesterday and days before that too.

We think of you in silence, we often speak your name.

Now all we have are memories and your picture in a frame.

Your memory is our keepsake with which we’ll never part.

God has you in his keeping,

We have you in our hearts.

Angela, Tony and Nicholas

September 8, 2002

Alex,



It’s hard to believe a year has gone by since you were taken away from us. During this past year, not one day has passed us by without you in our minds. You were my cousin, but in my heart you were just like a brother.



Your quiet presence and your gentle pat on the back are sadly missed. Even Nicholas misses you. He knows you as “Uncle Alex” and whenever he sees your picture he gives it a big Kiss! He’ll always remember how you would say “Hey, big guy” whenever you saw him.



Alex, you are forever in our hearts. We miss you so very much.

Joseph, Michael and Anthony

September 8, 2002

Uncle Alex,



We’ll never forget your silly handshakes or how you always called us twins “the 2 Nee-Nees”. You were the best uncle ever.

All my love, Annette

September 8, 2002

Alex,



Throughout our childhood, you were my best friend. We could play for hours on end. Throughout our teenage years you were my “protector” always watching over me and guiding me in the right direction. As adults, you were the one I reached out to for advice on anything and everything. You were always just a phone call away. In the blink of an eye – everything changed. You were an incredible brother to me, a great brother-in-law to Frank and the most loving uncle to Joseph, Anthony and Michael. We love you and miss you so very much.

Love, Mommy and Daddy

September 8, 2002

Alex,



A year ago today, our lives changed forever. You were our son, our strength. You brought us only happiness throughout the years. We’ll never be the same again. We love you and miss you with all our hearts.

We did not know the pain you had

Or hear your final sigh

We only know your life was over

Without a last good-bye

God knew you had to leave us,

But you didn’t go alone

For a part of each of us went with you,

The morning God took you home

To some you will soon be forgotten,

To others just part of the past

But to us who loved and lost you,

Your memory will always last

God gave us strength to face it and

Courage to bear the blow

But what it meant to lose you Alex

No one will ever know

Dear Alex,

I remember the first time I met you that day was june 13 a few years back. That day it happens that I just went to a New York Mets Baseball game. My Grandma Introduced me to you. After that you told me that you liked the Mets I said,''I do to.'' Then I explained what happened at the game that day. Just remebering those moments feels like it was just yesterday.At parties you always kept a little radio in your hand knowing that there was a game on. You said to me once even though the Mets do bad at times it is still fun to see what happends in the game.And it is very true.

Alex,



Happy Birthday in Heaven.

We miss you so much. Not a day goes by that we don't think about you. Sunday, July 21st will be one year that you were at my house with the rest of your cousins. Uncle Peter and I think about that day often. It was such a perfect day and we all loved being together. On that day I had a birthday cake for you. Who would of though that this Sunday instead of a birthcake I'm having a mass said for you.

Alex, our pain will never go away. Rest in peace my handsome, perfect nephew. You said in my dream that we are going to meet again. If I didn't belive that, I would go crazy. Pray for us Alex. Especially your parents, your children, wife, sister and nephews Love and Miss you very much.

Aunt Rosie & Uncle Peter
