Alan Palumbo Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Oct. 17, 2001.
ALAN N. PALUMBO, 42, of New York, was just two days shy of his 43rd birthday when he was killed in the World Trade Center. A broker at Cantor Fitzgerald, he never skimped on quality. "He lived a good life," said his brother, Gary Hersch. "He ate the best, drank the best and went top-shelf wherever he went. I don't think he had any regrets." Palumbo also stayed tight with a neighborhood group of childhood friends. "He was a character," said Mark Unrein, a friend. "He excelled in all the neighborhood games. Basketball, cards, stickball, pitching quarters."

To honor the victims whose lives were cut short ten years ago today, the San Francisco Giants distributed Remembrance Cards to every fan attending today's game. On one side of the card is the American Flag and on the other side a name is printed of a person who lost his/her life on 9/11.
I am honored to have received Alan's name on my Remembrance Card.
I obviously did not know Alan, but want his family to know that today, across the country, he was remembered and honored.

As I cross-stitched your name on the memorial that I am doing for all of the victims, I prayed for you and your family. Please know that your death was not in vain. We will always remember. God Bless.

Alan, even though we have never met I heard so much about you from Linda. From what I hear you were both meant for one another. She misses you very much & will never be the same without you. Please watch over her & help mend her heart. May God bless you.

Angel and I did not know Alan but we know and love his niece Alli, who is so good to my brother, Andy. On August 1, 2002 I sat with Alli and Andy in a bar across from Grand Central. It was there that I first spoke with her about the September tragedy and I was impressed with her strength. They told of walking dozens of blocks to meet up with each other that day, all the while not knowing if Alan made it out alive, only to learn that the worst had happened. It made me think about the day all over again and how I felt at the time, how I feared for the safety of those I know and love. I think we all died some that day, some more than others.



May we never forget the sacrifices made by the bravest among us and let us strive to preserve this great nation for our children and grandchildren.

Hi, my name is Kristin Kanter. On this, the one year anniversary of September 11, my school gave out armbands to each student, each with the name of a victim printed upon it. Alan was the victim who I had the priveledge of honoring. Although I didn't know him in life, I will never forget his name, or his story that I now know. And I will always pray for he and his family. May God be with you all.

Alan,



They found you today and when I heard I felt a sense or relief. Relief because I knew that you were definitly with God, no doubt about it. I know you are looking over us especially my kids, and there are times where we laugh unknowingly because of something you might have done. I never knew someone for such a short amount of time that touched me and my family so much. But I am honored everyday that I did know you and I will meet you again one day my friend and we will continue our friendship, the one that was so tragically cut short. Alan, you have affected me and my family in a way that I can't explain but I miss you everyday and now I know you are safe and that makes me feel better. Love always

Father we entrust our brother Alan to your mercy. You loved him greatly in this life: now that he is freed from all its cares, give him happiness and peace forever. Welcome him now into paradise where there will be no more sorrow, no more weeping or pain, but only peace and joy with Jesus your Son, and the Holy Spirit forever and ever.

I went to St. Mary's with Alan in the early '70's. He helped me bridge the gap of new girl in the class to one of the gang. Although I never saw him again after moving from the area, he touched my heart and soul. God Bless You Alan!

Im look at your picture as I write this. I wish I could tell everyone what a wonderful person you really were. You were such a tough guy on the outside but a real caring person deap down and I miss that part of you so much. Carly just talks about you every day. Her dad went on a plane ride and she just figured when he was up there that he could pick you up and bring you home to us, they overheard her tell her brother that. Its amazing the way a childs mind works. She misses you so much and so do I. I hope everyday that you are safe now and I joke all the time and say that God did not know what he was in for with you there, I figure you have everyone laughing with the way you joke aroung and that makes it that much eaiser for me. I will never ever forget you and the big heart that you always hid but I got you to show it.



I miss you everyday.



Love Barbara

There is not a day that goes by that we do not think of you in one way or another. We keep your picture on our mantle as a reminder of how special you were to us. A snowman bearing your name sat on our Christmas tree. I know you are looking over us especially Carly since she was your little buddy and loved you very much. I intend to tell her all about you when she is older so that she can know what a wonderful person you were. We miss you and keep you close in our hearts always.



P.S. Thanks for the teddy, I know you had something to do with Carly having that. I will cherish that forever.



Love the Millers - Grace, Tom, Carly, Ryan, and Emily

We are deeply sorry for your loss of Alan. 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

I am so sorry for Alan's loss. His cousin Deebie Palumba is a close friend. She has told me what a wonderful father Alan was.

I am heartbroken.
