Garry Lozier Obituary
Garry Lozier, 47, a managing director at Sandler O'Neill & Partners, on the 104th floor of 2 World Trade Center, had risen to the top of the investment world.
But he still put his family first. He cheered on Evan, 10, when he played hockey and tennis. Without fail each night, he bathed his two girls, Karoline, 7, and Olivia, 4, following up with bedtime stories. He and his wife, Kathleen, had just bought a sailboat they planned to take out on Long Island Sound.
Mr. Lozier was a man who loved the women in his life, starting with his wife. He adored his mother, Patricia Lozier, who died of cancer when he was 25. After that, he grew especially close to his two sisters, becoming a paternal figure to them. "He had a big, beaming, sunny smile," said Diana DeBartlo, his sister-in-law. "Everything he did was for his family."
When the trade center was bombed in 1993, Mr. Lozier escaped and acquired a new zest for living. A recent health scare made him appreciate life even more. "He had overcome so much, and for this to happen," said Ms. DeBartlo. "He had finally achieved all of his dreams."

From reading your story and the words people have left you here, you sound like a fun and caring family man. I'm so sorry your life was taken in the way that it was just as you were having a renewed sense of purpose, but please know you and your story are never forgotten. My continued condolences to Garry's family and friends. Happy heavenly birthday, Garry! <3

Fondly remembered, never forgotten.
My family and I were visiting the 9/11 Memorial on January 4 when we came across Garry´s name with the rose. We were curious so we looked up what it was about, but it also inspired me to look up this gentleman. He was a loving, caring father, and I´m so

I wish I had known Garry better. I knew his wife, Kathleen (Kathy), when she lived in Wyoming. Today is the 20th anniversary of Garry's tragic death. My heart aches for Kathy and everyone in Garry's family. Having lost my own son, I know that grief morphs into new and unexpected dimensions of our lives over time. I have to imagine that Kathy's experience of grief also haunts her differently, over time, even as she bravely carries on and as love finds new meaning. It's September 11, 2021, and I am holding Kathy, Evan, Karoline and Olivia in my heart.

Hello Kathy, Don't know if you check on added messages to this page but if you do want you to know I was thinking of you and your family. Our daughters Olivia and Sarah were on the same soccer team years ago in Darien.( 2nd or 3rd grade) We have been out in California for 8 years now and Sarah is in 12th grade. Maybe Olivia is too. Thinking of you and your family and hoping that you all are doing well. So sorry for your loss but hope you have found some happiness since that awful day.

So many years have passed, yet the loss is so great, the hurt so deep. i knew Garry for so many years, when he first started on Wall Street. We were all the youngens at LFR. He was a sweet, loving, caring man with a wide smile, and a kind heart. His life became complete with his marriage to Kathy, and the birth of his three children. Gone too soon-but never forgotten.

Dear Loziers,
Wanted you to know our thoughts are with you all, especially today. All we hear about the kids points to the fact that Garry would be so very proud. Friendships run deep and never go away, we think of him of him often.

Dear Lozier Family,
The Rodgers family wants you to know we still remember Garry every day. We grew up next to Garry on Hickory Lane in Closter. We have so many fond memories of this wonderful man. He always had a ready smile for everyone and he was a kind gentle soul. We know Garry is in heaven now with his mother. God bless you all! Love, Anne, Helenmarie, James Jr., Peter, John, Alice, & Laurie Rodgers

Dear Evan, Karoline, Olivia and Kathleen,
I was a business associate of Garry's for many years. Garry and I were on the phone together during the 1993 bombing.
I miss the many family converstions we had over the years as our families grew.
Garry spoke to me of each of you often and with genuine love.
I miss Garry and I have often prayed for each of you.
God's blessings upon you.

Dear kathy and Evan,
I have such fond memories of Garry and I miss all the times we stood together on the Norton Heights train station platform waiting for the 7am to Grand Central. It's been seven years now and the feelings are still strong.
Go Pomfret!

For three weeks in August of 2001, I had the pleasure of nannying for the Lozier family. Looking back, I was probably quite a handful myself, but the Lozier's were so patient! Generous, kind, funny, and full of life is how I would describe this family. To Kathy, Evan, Karoline, and Olivia, and other members of Garry's family that I did not meet, I am so unbelievably sorry for your loss.

Evan, Karoline & Olivia: I went to school with your father from 7th to 12th grade. I remember his distinctive, wide smile even then. Being a teenager is kind of an awkward time, and it is impossible to imagine how people are going to turn out. While I'm sad you lost your daddy, I'm glad to know that he grew up to be such a loving father, and I know that the three of you brought the greatest joy imaginable into his life. It is completely unfair that you lost your father, but I know one thing for sure: when you look deep inside, when you need it most, you will find his love for you is still there because he loved you so completely and with his whole heart.

Dear Mrs. Lozier and children,
Over the past two years I have thought of contacting you to tell you of my interaction with Garry, but it seemed so insignificant... Today as we all reflect back, I checked up on Garry's part of the site and saw this guest book and figured this was a good way to express my thoughts to you.
I met Garry in the Spring of '01 over a securitization deal he was pitching while I was a t GE. We talked many times over the summer and finally met again the week before (or so) Sept. 11th. I was having my first son. So, as you might expect, our conversations were less about money/deals and more about how much I would love having children and how special he felt when spending time with his family. You could hear the pure love in his voice. Our relationship was based only on business, yet I never thought of Garry as a businessman - just a guy who loved his family and had it down right.
He was trying to convince me to move out to CT and we would all get together one night.
Garry had such a big impact on me from those conversations - I wanted my new life to be like his. We've move out to CT and I pass the Darien station everyday and think of what a lovely thoughtful man he was. I have not and will not take Garry's phone numbers out of my palm pilot... I pray you are well and I know he watches over you everyday.

Just wanted Garry's family, particularly his sister, Christy, know that I was in NYC last week. I was there to see Springsteen in Jersey, and visited Ground Zero, thinking of Garry the entire time, wishing him well wherever he may be, and knowing he must be watching over you all.
None of you are forgotten.

Dear Lozier family.
As your neighbours, we were very upset with the events of Sept 11/01. As a new internet user, I came upon this site when searching for family geneology. My Grand-mother is a Lozier.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

My thoughts and prayers are with you always. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about that horrible day, 9/11/01 and feel the pain of the losses suffered by so many and especially you and the children.
Garry loved you and the children so much and you have such beautiful memories to hold on to.
May the Lord bless you with peace and hold you in the palm of his hands.

Dear Kathy and family,
Garry was both a personal friend and business associate of mine. I recall meeting him in the fall of 1997 as I started a new position with a commercial bank in Northern NJ. He impressed me immediately as a man who always has his priorities in order. Family first - then business! He always spoke warmly of you and the children. We had much in common personally as both my son Matt and Evan played organized youth hockey and we shared those memories together. Matt and I will never forget the times spent with Gary and Evan in the sky box at Madison Square Garden rooting for the Rangers. Also, our fishing trip in early September in Greenwich sound was a memorable experience. I share in your loss and know that my world is a better place for having known Gary!

I stumbled upon a website and ordered a bracelet to honor one of the victims. I specifically asked for a random selection, because I felt I would be honored to remember any one of the victims. I am a military wife stationed in Germany, and this helps me to deal with the horrible attacks, and the subsequent deployments of my Army husband and others. Thank you for sharing your wonderful Garry with me.

Dear Kathy, Evan, Karoline, & Olivia,
There isn't a day that goes by since 9/11 that I don't think of all of you. While I know you a lot less than others here in town, I feel there is still so much I know about you, from just sitting with Kathy waiting for gymnastics to be over or sitting together on the beach in Nantucket talking and talking while the children played....My thoughts and prayers are with you as this New Year approaches and always. May you soon find peace, happiness, and joy again! Fondly, Annie

A big beaming sunny smile must have been a reflection of Garry's heart. We are deeply sorry for your loss of Garry. May his life and love live on in all who love him. Our hearts cry with you.
America Cries
We see your sorrow-
and our hearts cry....
We can not erase your pain
but you do not have to face the anguish alone-for we-
-the American people-
are beside you.
We so desperately want to have the touch that brings you comfort,
the strength that gives you courage,
and the words to lighten your spirits.
And when we are left speechless
may the silence of our nation weave love into your hearts
to ease your sorrow.
May you find healing through our nation's strength as we-
-the American people-
face this difficult time together. Our hearts are with you. Teresa Jahn

Dear Lozier Family: There is nothing I can say that ever could take away your pain. But I was very moved by your husband and father's story. How very lucky you are to have been loved by someone so wonderful who obviously loved you tremendously. I am sure you provided him much joy also and I am very sorry for your loss. Sincerely, K. Hazelwood, NYC
