Tony and I were pals in high school. I'd like his family to know that despite not having connected with him since the mid 1980s, I miss Tony very much and think of him often. I was heartbroken to hear what happened those 17 years ago. I hope that his wife Patty and their four children have found their way to have Tony's memory be a blessing in their lives. Much love to you.

Happy birthday my dear...I know it's after midnight but it's not like I haven't been thinking about you all day. It'll be the 13th until I go to sleep. ;) Oh you'd be proud....and oh you are missed.....I love you babe...and I always will and I think of you everytime I think of how much I love our children and the adults they have become and are becoming. I wish you knew them....I wish they knew you and could feel your love. You were so very good at making people feel loved. They are very good at making people feel loved too. I feel so loved by them. You left too early but I guess it was your time. Your short time counted though, it counted big time. You're still here in so many ways, so many ways I can't believe you're gone sometimes. Happy birthday babe....thank you for spending your time with me...muwah

Tony, I will never forget all the times you made me laugh at CentreInvest. When I was working and you would come take a nap at the reception desk couch because the kids kept you up the night before. You were an amazing friend, and my big brother! 10 years later and I see your face clearly. I know even in the last moments you were making someone smile! We miss you dearly.
Patty, I hope you and the kids are well! Love always Tony, Farida

I knew Tony in High School, (he was a Sr. I was a Jr.) and always enjoyed our time as we would walk to the deli and split a huge pastrami sandwich complete with melted swiss and spicy mustard.I remember lots of laughs with him and what is ironic is that we never discussed stocks or anything like that and we each went on to respectively become stockbrokers.I'm sure God just wanted his personal comic by his side.
I'm trying not to cry today but instead will laugh, because you would've preferred it!

Tony and I worked at CentreInvest Inc. at 140 Broadway before he moved to Cantor Fitzgerald in the WTC. He always started the day for our all-male dealing room with his jovial "Good morning ladies". He was a true friend to all of us and talked about his family and the fun he had at home when his kids would run all over him. Tony buddy, love you and miss you.

Tony was my boss at Chapdelaine. When it was decided that our desk there would close, I decided not to go to Cantor F. with him. He looked at me and said "go follow your dreams, Joey". I will never forget Tony. His smile and that laugh are as fresh to me today as they were nearly 8 years ago. He was the best boss I ever had and he was a true friend to me. He and his family are never far from my mind. I just know he has the other angels laughing out loud. G-d Bless, Tony. And thank you.

Patty,
You do not know me but years ago I spent a lot of time with Tony through mutual friends. Tony was a genuine, sincere and gentle soul. He put all of himself into everything he did. I am so glad he found you. I can still see the twinkle in his eye and the big smile on his face.
My deepest sympathies for your loss.

To Tony's family,
It's been years, but I had worked with Tony for a brief time. His spirit was always uplifting, and he had the gift of turning the worst of days into a laugh. I missed him greatly when I left that job, and mourn him even more.

Dear Patty and Kids,
I never got to know my Cousin Tony because I am so much older and you guys lived far away. The morning it happened, I stood staring at the TV screen, tears running down my face, not even knowing about my Cousin. It was only later, a day or two, that I found out. Yesterday, six years later, I was sitting watching a program about that terrible day and again the tears came rolling down, but even more than six years ago.
If Tony was anything like his Dad and his Mom, he was a great guy, husband and father.
May God be with him, his wife and children always, and with all of us, his family.

In memory....
September 11, 2006
Well, it's been 5 years babe...we still miss you so much. I wish you could see the children, I know you would be so proud. They're smart, beautiful, and most of all, happy. Thank you for leaving so much of your spirit with them. I wish they could see you looking at them. I know the pride in your eyes, that twinkle that I miss so much, would give them all the confidence they would need to conquer the world. Life is very good right now. Your absence has left a hole in hearts but your memory has left a smile on our faces and I am forever greatful for our time together and the family we created. In think of you in the city. I think of you at the Cape. You'd love the house. We have a dog now. We named him afer you...Stud. Trust me, if you saw him you'd laugh. We've made some great friends since you left and the old ones still miss you.The new ones admire you through your children. I'm sorry for every moment we may have wasted when we were together. How could we ever have known? Thank you for making your last night with us so lovely. You really got it right. I know it wasn't always easy for you. I hope you know...I know you know...that I was there for you every step of the way. I loved you then and I love you now. We are living full, wonderful lives and you are alive in our hearts and in our thoughts. Your humor is ever present. When the kids ask me something really dumb I tell them "wait, daddy's chanelling.." and they roll their eyes...they know what's coming. Patrick looks just like you and Anthony eats sleeps and breathes sports stats...you know where I'm useless. Thank god you didn't see your daughters in bathing suits this summer...don't worry, I'm carrying a bat, lol. They are amazing young ladies. Life is where I had always hoped it would be, except that you are not here to share it with me. Never did I expect such blessings to be accompanied by such loss. But such is life, and death. We know not when or where, so we must live each moment as a normal one. Mistakes will be made. Some moments will be embraced. Some moments will be lost. As long as we consciously do our best, we can only hope for the best. I thank God that when you left the house that morning there was no doubt how much we loved each other. I'm sorry I rushed you off the phone as I was getting the kids ready for school. I said I'd call you later...I never got the chance. But it's ok because my last words with you were you at your best...laughing at the humor of parenthood and the resistence of kindergarten. Boy, what we thought of as our dark moments were nothing compared to that morning. I hope in my heart, I have to believe in my heart, that you knew things were going to be OK. I hope you trusted me enough to carry on without you and give the children a wonderful life. I hope my love for you granted you some solace at a time when....at your time of darkness. I pray that a peace came over you and that you left us with confidence in the legacy you left behind and I hope you were greated by those we loved who went before you. Tell Rosie and Pop-pops we miss them and have my parents over for coffee please. I'm sure they won't talk politics.
I love you babe...rest in peace..patty

Dear Patty and family:
My husband Roy Backes, 13 year old son Oliver and I are thinking of you with much love today. After we sent your relatives the photo we took of Anthony's quilt square at the American Folk Museum in Manhattan and you wrote us back such a beautiful note with your pictures in it this time last year, we all went to the library and read about Anthony in the 9-11 tribute book, saw his picture, and said prayers for you. What a wonderful father and husband he was! May your cherished memories of his great sense of humor and zest for life comfort you today and always. You are very much in our thoughts and prayers, and we hope that with the passing of time, your great pain is being healed. Please feel free to visit us in Philadelphia any time, and be our guests at our theatre for a show!

Shortly after 9/11 I signed up for the Mercy Band Program. I have a bracelet with Anthony J. Fallone and WTC on it. In accepting this bracelet, which I wear everyday, I made a committment to pray for Anthony's family every day for the rest of my life. At first I didn't know whether he had family as I heard that some didn't so I prayed for family and friends just in case. Now that I know he has a wonderful family I still pray for both family and friends.
God bless.

For the World to Know
When Anthony lost his life he left behind a loving wife Patty, four wonderful children, family and friends most of whom I do not know. But I do know his children quite well and I consider myself most fortunate to call Patty my friend. It is with great priviledge that I write these words for all those to read in time to come, as I share with you the special something which is Patty Fallone.
Dear Patty,
You could truly light up a room. Your laughter, joy, happiness, energy, care, kindness, spirit, love, affection, respect, courage, generosity, the ability to fine that little bit of good in everyone, a seemingly endless amount of love and devotion to your children and an undying love for your husband are all that is you.
Oh how it pains me so to know that a piece of your heart was ripped from you that day. To see someone so full of such pure happiness have to suffer such pain. I grieve for you. But through your tears your happiness and genuine joy for life will shine, it can't help itself, for that is the spirit which is you.
And so I will be there, like many others, for you until the day I die. In me you will find a shoulder to cry on and an ear to listen to anything that needs to be said.
All my love to you and your family from me and mine.
Your friend,
MB (NYC)

Dear Patty and children:
I attend Central Christian Church and our usual Wednesday Exaltation service was devoted to 9/11 remembrance last week. As each of the more than 4,000 who attended the service entered the worship center they were given a card with a the name, age, and location of one of the victims of that tragic day. My card bore Anthony's name. I thought that you would be comforted to know that I said a prayer for him and for your family last Wednesday. And my daughter, mother, and I will continue to pray for "our people" every Monday at 9:11 AM. I pray that Anthony knew the Lord and is now with Him and knows the joy and peace of everlasting life. I pray that you and your children know the Lord's love and God's grace. That you will keep Him in your hearts and know that you are loved and protected by His love. God Bless you.

Dear Patty:
I am always thinking in making the most beautiful card for you and your children....I want to make it so beautiful and special that it has not been made yet......
I think about you so much....I would love to see you soon, make crafts together and share with you a moment of life....
Tiffany remembers that kindergarten day at the museum when the class went for a field day and Tony was with her and Anthony..........she remembers his smile, his laugh to her stories....
Achilles remembers the day Tony told him all about the museum day...it was a funny story to remember....
Patty, I would love to see you again ....
A big hug, a big kiss from all of us ....
You and the children are in our prayers and thoughts.
Miss you,

Hello my name is Alisha, I am 17 years old and I live in California. Today 9-8-02 I went to my local church and we had a ceremony in memory of all the victims on the day of September 11, at church they had passed out flags, and on those flags was the name of a person who had lost their life on that day. The flag that I had recieved was Anthony Fallone Jr. I really wanted to find out more about him, so I was looking for a website that had a description of who he was and what he was like. I am very touched to have found out about someone who had live on the other side of the states. I am very sorry about what has happened and for the pain you are going through, I thought that I would write to you to say God Bless You and My Prayers are with you and your children. I hope you the best in your days to come.
Ps Your husband seemed like a very nice and interesting person and I am glad that I got to find out a little bit about him
Thank you for that

Patty,
I hadn't seen this site before tonight and I found myself sobbing as I read your tribute to Tony. I have so many memories of the two of you. Of all of them, my favorite is one Sunday after mass when your mom was criticizing you two for being a little--okay a lot, in her book--too passionate during the kiss of peace. She said you two were "like teenagers." She asked me "What kind of example is that for their kids?" I piped up that it was a wonderful example: "Mommy & Daddy love each other very much. What could be a better example than that?" Tony smiled and reached out and tucked a strand of your pretty blonde hair behind your ear. You smiled and the sexual connection in the air was palpable. Your mom looked chagrined, shook her head and said "They are WORSE than teenagers!"
I wish I could put Tony back in your world, but I can't. I find myself tongue-tied when I try to talk about him to you. In some ways, writing here--semi-anonymously--is easier. All I can say is that anyone who ever saw the two of you together would never ever doubt that you two had one of the happiest marriages ever. Be grateful for that. It was a rare and special gift.
God bless you and keep you and the kids. You are working double over time to the bestest ever of mothers. Pay a little attention to yourself. I know that if Tony were here he'd say the same thing.
God be with you and Katie, Alexandra, Patrick and Anthony.

There could be no better tribute to Anthony's life than you and your wonderful children. Four sweet, loving, kind and generous children! Truly a testament to the wonderful parents they were so blessed to receive.
Although we have moved away to New Jersey, a piece of our hearts will forever remain with you and your family on Roosevelt Island.
Thank you for showing us how to carry on with grace,love,laughter and dignity. You are an amazing woman.

Patty,
What can I say?? Thank you for letting me and my family and the guys from L.A. County Fire Dept station 185 into your heart. I will never forget the night we met you and were told by your friends that you lost your husband at the WTC.
Thanks for coming to California this summer to visit us. You and Katie and Yaya and Doogie and Patch are forever in our hearts and are in our lives forever. I have never met such a positive family before. You and the kids changed the way we look at life. I will never forget the looks on your kids faces when the trainer at Seaworld asked You guys to go with him and feed Shamu! Priceless! The hardest day was when I had to take you guys back to the airport and saying farewell for now. The good news is...we will see you at X-mas 2002! So get ready!
We miss you and the kids so much!
Anthony no doubt would be proud of the mother that you are. You and the kids are going to be Okay! Anyway, Warm sands, gentle breezes and a margarita! PEACE OUT!
Love to all, Danny, Michelle, Pat and Bucky.

Anthony my love...how I ache for you. You gave me the life I always dreamed of, never did I expect to not have you here to share it with me. You have left me with the most wonderful children in the world, and have instilled in all of us a sense of fun that never came as naturally to me as it did to you. I promise your children will continue to have fun...I promise to give them the kind of wonderful life that you worked so hard to give them. Thank you for being so wonderful, so present in every aspect of our lives. It makes us miss you that much more, but remember you that much more fondly. You knew how to love and you knew how to make people feel loved. Our children knew they were the most important people your life. They knew they were your favorite company...they knew you loved them with all your heart...you made them feel unconditional love in a way many people never will...I felt that too. We had our share of ups and downs, but when you left the house on September 11th, we were totally in love, and we both knew it, and I smile through my tears because I am so happy that we chose eachother and that we worked through the challenges that life posed. We miss you so much it hurts, but you left us happy and we will be happy despite the pain, despite how much we miss you. We were a perfect family of 6...there is such a void with out you.
We knew people always looked at us as the perfect family...we knew we were far from perfect but we knew, as far as families go, we were as close to perfect as you can get...tested and proven strong and right. We were so right when we were together. We knew how to do it, and our children are proof of that. I pray that I will be able to bring them through this and into the future as happy, well-adjusted adults. The sense of love and confidence you gave them will help me do that...The love you gave me will help me do that too.
I pray you are at peace and I thank you for the legacy of love and laughter that you have left us. You touched an uncountable number of lives...none more deeply than my own. You are my love and my life, and I promise to go on and be strong and to see the humor in the absurd and to teach our children to do the same. I love you. I always did and always will. Good bye my love....

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
