Milton Bustillo Obituary
Life had just begun to get sweet for Milton Bustillo. In February, he and the love of his life, Laura Spordone, had a baby girl. In July, the couple married and began searching and saving for a home. Mr. Bustillo, an avid baker, set aside every penny from his job as a computer network operator at Cantor Fitzgerald. He was even planning to market his own line of cookies and cakes over the Internet. All the planning paid off, it seemed, when the couple finally found their dream house in Toms River, N.J.
But one week before the house was to be theirs, the World Trade Center was destroyed. Mr. Bustillo, 37, disappeared. "Everything was just beginning for him," said Mr. Bustillo's younger brother, Gilberto. "He was so determined to do things right. He took his time starting a family and buying a home. He wanted to be happy."
This week, a few days after his daughter, Alessandra, was baptized, Mr. Bustillo's body was found by rescuers at ground zero, and identified by his wedding ring. The family, his brother said, is convinced that the discovery was a gift from God. "At least we can say goodbye to him the right way."

Many years ago, I adopted Milton and Laura’s cats after 9/11. I wanted the family to know that I still pray for them and think about how Laura and the girls are doing. Recently, I went for the fourth time to see Milton’s name honored at the memorial and will continue to do so each time I am in NYC. Peace and love to all of his family and friends.

I didn't know Milton personally, but I adopted his two cats after 9/11, and wanted to let Laura know that I think of him and their family often. I felt honored that, though only a tiny part of Milton's expanding life, I was able to care for a part of his legacy in a different way. I have seen his name at the memorial, and would like for Laura to know that he is still thought of by those whom never had the chance to meet him. Continued thoughts, Sara

Milton, My godfather, I am thinking of you today. Just a couple of months ago on October 6th, I went to the Memorial site in the WTC. I walked over to your name, having forgotten it was your birthday, I saw a white flower there in your name. I couldn't hold it, the pain, my knees buckled, I fell to the ground and cried. I remember that tragic day. I just wanted you to know I never forget you, and I want to be a good man like you. Sometimes I go through photos to see you, and just to remember who you were, and how I should emulate you. Everyday I am molded by stories of you, and what you wanted to accomplish. Now as I succeed as an Architect I remember you, and think "Milton would be so proud of me". I know you are there and always watching me.
Love you Milton.

Hey Milton. Ten year? How can that be when it still feels like yesterday. I just want you to know (but you already do) how much we miss you. We took Tyler to his first day of kindergarten today. You would have been so proud. He looked so handsome! He is still talking about you all the time. He ask a lot of questions. Gil says you would have had a ball with him...he would make you laugh so much! We love you Milton. Keep your light on us always and please know you are forever in our hearts.

Tyler Milton Bustillo wears your name proud. He is 4 now and it amazes us how he talks about you everyday. Dissa will tell you. He says "how come he can talk to me but i can't see him?" I know you are here with us...Tyler can feel it! He loves you so much...we all do and miss you each and every day...nothing will fill the hole that we have. I hope you are okay...keep shining down on us. All our love...Jodi, Gil and Tyler

We continue to miss Milton very much; but, his memory is very much alive in our hearts. Our hearts continue to hurt, and together we carry this ache for him and for everyone lost and affected on that day. But the kinship of a good friend and of loved ones will bond us together forever. Milton is now enjoying God’s glory, and we are thankful for that.

Today we remember those that were lost on 9/11/01…It has been 8 years, but sometimes it feels like it was moments ago. Especially on this rainy day as if the sky is crying alongside us. Our way of life was for ever changed…missing loved ones, friends, good people, good Americans, and our beloved Milton.
Our family still grieves his loss, and we continue to keep his memory alive. We are praying for him as we did back then hoping for a phone call with good news. As the days passed, we started to accept the sad reality. Many weeks later, he was found atop the debrie from Tower 1.
Milton's body was found intact, with just a head impact/injury and we held a funeral that brought us all together...
Let us pray for his memory and for everyone else who we lost on that day, as well as their families who are experiencing all the same feelings. Let us be inspired by the words of our beloved Pope John Paul II as he shared with the world on that day:
"Commending the victims to almighty God's mercy, I implore His strength upon all involved in rescue efforts and in caring for the survivors." -- Pope John Paul II, Sept. 11.
Thank you, Alba

~ We Are Going to Miss You ~
by Alba Bryan
From the day you were born
Our heavenly Father gave you many blessings
He gave you a smile that stole everyone’s heart
…and we are going to miss that.
You were a delightful son
A wonderful brother
A happy person
And a true friend
We are going to miss you.
You had so many dreams
You had so many plans
And you never lost sight
Of what was in your heart.
Many a thing gave you inspiration
There was the Beatles’ music
And your pastry creations
We are definitely going to miss it.
Then you found your better half
And love was all you needed
To make your life complete
God blessed you with a beautiful child.
We grieve that we have lost a noble person
A caring, patient friend,
A Loving husband and father
And we are going to miss you!

Cousing, you were a special member of our family. I choose you as my son godfather not only because you were my closet cousing, but because we share many moments since your childhood back in Barranquilla, and in El Cerro de San Antonio-Magdalena, Colombia, and in Cantor Fitzgerald where we worked together. Cousing, I remember how you enjoyed been with our family together and about your plans for the future.

NO CREO PODER EXPRESAR CUANTO DOLOR CAUSO TU TRAGICA PARTIDA , PERO SI PUEDO SENTIR EL GRAN VACIO QUE DEJAS AUN EN NUESTROS CORAZONES
NO TUVE LA OPORTUNIDAD DE DISFRUTAR CONTIGO LOS PLACERES DE LA RELACION DE FAMILIA , PERO POR INFORMACION DE MI FAMILIA Y PRIMOS LLEGUE A HACERME UNA IMAGEN LLENA DE ALEGRIA Y JOLGORIO DENTRO DE MI CORAZON , CREO QUE LAS LAGRIMAS QUE NUESTRA FAMILIA Y ESTE PAIS DERRAMO NO SOLO POR TI SINO POR LOS TUYOS , LOS NUESTROS Y TODOS LOS QUE ESTAVAN CONTIGO; AUN NO SIENDO SUFICIENTES PERO SI APASIGUARON EL DOLOR Y LA IRA DE IMPOTENCIA Y ANGUSTIA DE NO PODER HACER NADA AL RESPECTO .
SOLO ME QUEDA DECIR :

I can't believe it's been 5 years since we lost you, Milton. I know the last time I saw you, I was still a kid but I do remember you and Gil always being so much fun to hang out with. In hindsight, I regret not being able to get in touch more often or finding out more about the family. But no matter what, I did have the priviledge of knowing you for a time in my life and that will always be in my heart to hold on to. You are missed dearly, cousin.
Alberto Dunoyer-Bustillo
September 12, 2006
I didn't know Milton well enough. I only saw him about a dozen times in my whole life... even though he was my mom's cousin, we were never very close.
Somehow, after he died, and maybe because of the way he died, I started to have feelings of regret about not having related to him very much.
I created a page in my webspace to honor his memory:

I remember when I first met Milton at my friend Gregg's (Laura's brother) house in Scranton. I thought, what a gentle man. We spent a wonderful afternoon at Lackawana St. Park for Gregg's company picnic. Being the photographer that I am, I captured many smiles, laughter & silly moments that day. That was the only time I spent with Milton but the lasting impression of what a wonderful man he was will always shine bright. All the stories shared about him are a true testimony to the legacy he has left behind. Laura, Dayna & Alessandra, you have a special place in my heart.
Love & Blessings, Jo Lyn

I want to thank everyone for their heartfelt expressions.
It is very hard to discribe the loss of your partner in life. Unfortunately, Milton and I were only married 3 weeks before they murdered him. He only had 7 months with his baby girl, Alessandra. He was unable to participate in her baptisim or her first birthday, or to revel in her first steps or her first tooth. I do not have anyone to call to say quess what she did today who could possibly understand like I do - how wonderful what she accomplished was. God - what they did to us.
Milton, we were just getting it together, the house - meeting our goals, realizing our dreams. Now the dreams, the goals have changed and I guess life goes on.
Milton, I have to thank you for bringing things into my life that I would otherwise have not known.
It is very quiet without the hustle and bustle of you. All your ideas, dreams,your excitement for everything, your life.
Please be there for me when my time comes so that you could explain everything to me in your way.
Love you babe, Miss you so much.... (XXXXOOOO) Laura, Dayna and Alessandra
P.S. Julie needs a good long walk

While we were teenagers Milton and his brothers and sister all lived in the same apartment building as I do in Palisades Park, NJ. Henry and I were in some of the same classes. I just found out Milton was among the dead from last year when I saw his name on TV and did some checking. Milton was always a special guy, truly gentle and quiet. My heart and prayers go out to his family. God Bless you all.

Because we will keep him in our hearts; a population of memories.And I hope, no matter where our travels lead us in this life... will take Milton with us. God bless!

I had the pleasure to work with Milton for approx. 3 years at Cantor. He and I had the same interest in music and he had such a great sense of humor. Everyone who knew him will tell you what a good person and friend he was. I'm glad that he realized his dream of getting married and having a child before his sudden departure. My prayers will always be with his family. God loves you Milton!

I am very sorry I didn ot get to know Milton better. Milton was part of my extended family since he is the brother of Gilbert - my son-in-law. We spent short periods of time together at birthday parties, and the bachelor party for Gilbert and our rehersal dinner before my daughter Jodi married Gilbert. Milton was the BEST MAN at the wedding. As father of the bride, I said a few words to our guests at the reception. I was followed by Milton - the best man. He stood infront of the guests and for the next 10 minutes or so he had everyone laughing and crying as he related his youthful experiences with his younger brother. During the next few minutes I knew how special a person Milton was. He was warm, smart and most of all was full of love for his family. We didnt' know gods plans for Milton or we would have done things differently. I would like to close by saying we will never forget you my son and I will pray for you always. Rest in peace Milton...rest in Peace...Walter R. Salidor

First, I want to send my blessings to your family for your tremendous loss. Loss comes in many ways. Was Milton a son of Victor Bustillo from Honduras, C.A.? My deceased sister was married to him in the 1960's and we, his sister in law and his son Victor Jr., and daughter Margarita, lost touch with Victor when he lived in Corona, Queens. I would love for someone to contact me if this is the same family. Love is the only thing that endures in this life. You all seem to have that. God Bless you all. Love Mercedes Calderon

Milton was a caring, compassionate, person who had such a deep affection and respect for his fellow man. I will very much miss his gentle humor and good cheer. Milton was a very rare gem.

Milton was and will always be the best brother in law in the world. He was ripped from our family as were the thousands of other innocent victims...and helpers. My thoughts and prayers to everyone who is suffering during this painful time in our lives. My thanks to everyone who has helped try and get us over this hurdle...we love you Milton...we miss you...but we will never forget you! Love your sister in law...Jodi Bustillo
