Francis Nazario Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Oct. 17, 2001.
Doting New Father

Francis Nazario loved jet skis, Mustangs, visiting Disney, redoing the house that his mother had grown up in, his wife and his 8- month-old daughter, Lena. Not in that order. He would put new pictures of Lena on his computer's screen saver almost every day. He couldn't wait for her to do something new, his sister, Mary Beth Deleto, recalls.

He also enjoyed his job as a back office operations manager at Cantor Fitzgerald, said his wife, Julie. "I'd call up and he'd be laughing," she said. "They'd be telling jokes, and I wondered if they ever got any work done."

The two were high school sweethearts. "We knew, from when we first started dating, on Sept. 5, 1989, that we were going to spend the rest of our lives together," Mrs. Nazario said.

The man who was just learning how to be a good father was devoted to his own, taking care of him for six years after his mother died. They lived together in the family home in Jersey City, and the younger Mr. Nazario, 28, shopped for his father and later visited him regularly in a nursing home.

"He was the apple of my father's eye," his sister said.


Profile published in THE NEW YORK TIMES on February 17, 2002.


Francis Nazario, 28, a blissful life with his soul mate They were only teenagers when they met in the summer of 1989. She was 14. He was 16. A chance introduction by mutual friends led to instant attraction.

That summer, they whiled away the days at the local park, playing basketball or just talking. At night, they talked on the phone until the early hours of the morning. In the fall, she transferred to his school so they could be together.

Everyone said it was puppy love but Julieanne Citro knew that when she met Francis J. Nazario, she had found the person with whom she would spend the rest of her life.

"We were soul mates from the moment we met each other," Julieanne Nazario said. "We grew up together. He was my best friend."

Francis and Julieanne married in April 1998 and eight months ago welcomed their daughter, Lena, to their family. They planned to have four children and someday move out of Jersey City to a quieter life in south New Jersey.

Their dreams were cut short on Sept. 11. Mr. Nazario was one of hundreds of Cantor Fitzgerald employees killed in the terrorists' attack on the World Trade Center. He had worked for the firm for nine years. He was 28.

Though married only three years, the Nazarios celebrated their 12th anniversary of being together on Sept. 5, the day he asked her to be his girlfriend. It had been a remarkably blissful relationship.

"We never had a major fight," his wife said. "People thought that was not true, but it's true. We didn't have to talk sometimes to know what each other was thinking. We were just soul mates."

A jet ski enthusiast and die- hard New Jersey Devils fan who never missed an opening game, Mr. Nazario is lovingly remembered as a devoted family man.

"He was the best uncle you could ever want," said Christina Deleto, his 10-year-old niece. "He would come to watch my (softball and basketball) games. It made me feel happy."

Christina's 18-year-old brother, Dominick, Jr., a student at Middlesex County College, said his uncle had encouraged him to attend college. "He was like an older brother," he said.

Born and raised in Jersey City, Mr. Nazario attended St. Paul the Apostle School and graduated from Marist High School in Bayonne in 1991.

In addition to his wife and daughter, Mr. Nazario is survived by his father, John Nazario; a sister, Marybeth Deleto of Fairville; two nephews and a niece.

Fran was truly genuine. I met he and Julie while dating a classmate of theirs from Marist. We became instant friends and had dinner with and Julie. He was the kind of guy who would stop his car in the middle of the street and pull over just to say hello. He will never be forgotten even now 18 years later, I still remember his voice and will never forget the last time I saw him about and a week before he became an angel. God Bless my Buddy Fran.....

Remembering 9/11 18th anniversary I typed Francis' name in Google to see if I can find a recent picture of my childhood neighbor which we shared so much summers in Maryann's pool. I moved out of 221 Garfield Ave in Jersey City NJ in 1980 and stopped seeing Francis since then. I remember him as a sweet and calm nice little boy. Every 9/11 anniversary I will watch the memorials and wait until his name is mentioned. After 39 years I finally see my friend as a grown up man in a picture. Belated condolences to his widow, sister and his father John.

I saw Francis' name on the ground zero memorial fountain this weekend. It was tragically sad, yet joyful to read about his life, the things he loved, especially the people he loved. With reverence and peace we said a prayer for him, for you, his family as you continue. Peace and grace.

My son is 22 years old and has just moved to work in New York and I payed a suprise visit to meet him last week and we visited the 9.11 Memorial. It is a very moving place and we took three names to try and find out a little more about and pay personal respects. Francis sounded like a special person and it is so sad for his friends and family for him to be taken in the way he was. Please accept my son,s and my own deepest sympathies.

You are always in my heart Old Friend....

Dear Fran,
I can not believe that 8 years have already come and gone since you left us to go home to Heaven and become one of gods angels. I still think of you and Julie on daily. I have not able to reach Julie in several years but pray daily for the safety of her and your daughter here on earth. I will never forget our friendship and pray that you are there to greet me when it is my time to come home.

Your Friend Always,

Dear Francis, this year I was away from my home town and I did not wear my uniform (as it was at home), when I realized what day it was I was sad. Never the less, I still think of You often not just on 9/11.

I pray for your side of the family that our Heavenly Father will bless them just as HE has blessed mine.

I hope You, Dad, Your Mother and Your Brother are giving each other comfort.

With all my love... your cousin Michael.

Hello Fran,

On Thursday I visited ground zero with my fellow EMS brothers and placed a flower in the reflection pound and said a prayer to god as I do every year. I know that when we were there in 2001 searching for you I could feel your presence in spirit just as I did when you use to enter a room. I will never forget the fun times that Danielle and I had with you and Julie at the prom or when just being out. I will place an entry in this book every time I think of you. Your friend always.

Dear Francis, today I wore my United States Marine Corps Dress Blues Uniform in your Honor. I actually had treament at the hospital and every one was asking questions about the occassion. I told them about you and the oath I made in your memory and Honor.

I kept a file with me with your newspaper article regarding this tragedy and showed it to as many people as possible.

I made an oath that I will wear my uniform every 9/11 in your memory, and also, the bracelet I made in your name, I wear that every day, because I will not forget you. I will tell anyone willing to listen about you and your life.

I pray to our Heavenly Father that HE may bless your Daughter and Wife every single day of their lives.

Your memory will live on as long as I have a breath in my body. Nazario's are Together Forever!!! YOU WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN!!!

With all my Love, your cousin, Michael, Jeitsa, Aysen and Miranda Nazario, from Bakersfield, California

Fran you are truely missed and will always be in the hearts and minds of all whom you touched during your time on earth. GOD BLESS.......

Fran and I were really good friends growing up. After the attacks in 1993 I asked him and his cousin Cliff, "What the hell are you still working there for." To which neither responded, Cliff came by to show off his Mustang, which I later bought. Fran is a fun loving guy who loved to laugh, I miss him. And can't explain how sorry I am for Jules and Lena...

Words could not describe today for us. We thought of you and the others. We thought of how this cowardly act changed our lives and we had no one in those towers. My heart ached all day. Everyone has gone about their business as if life went on after so many people died. I hope your family had received a blessing today in the midst of their desire to hold you and see you again. We know, by now you have probably met our son in Heaven and are looking down saying, "why are they still crying, we're loving it up here"...I wanted your family to know that THIS family was thinking of you too today and the many who are still keeping this nation protected....the ones who died trying...

From a proud mom of a Fallen Marine who died defending what they took from your family.

Dear Francis, as you know, I often visit and ponder on this website. I always look for any updates on the guest book and I think of you constantly.



9/11/01 changed my life forever, and if anything, it has added you to our immediate family. My 8 year old son, Aysen and 4 year old daughther, Miranda know who you are.



Just as I promised, I do mention your name to anyone willing to listen and I wear the bracelet with your name on it every chance I get in your memory.



I remember you daily and I hope I am doing a good job. Like I promise before, you will not be forgotten! We are Nazario's, Family Together Forever...



Tell Dad, your Mom, your Brother and everyone else I send my Love and say Hi.



As Family, I pray that our Heavenly Father always Bless and Be with Julianne and Lena and I pray that HE may always protect your LOVE for them.



We Love You Always,



Your Cousin and Family...

God bless your family.

We will never forget!!!

Aileen and Ronnie Payne

September 11, 2005

We never knew you. We never met. We never thought the cowardly act of 9/11 would change your family and mine forever....and yet it connected our families at the same time. You could not defend yourself or even know why, but our son and his buddies came to your defense without hesitation. His name is Ronald R. Payne Jr 23. His buddy Johnny Caracofe joined the Marines the day after 9/11 and is presently still serving in Iraq... he went back 3 times in 2 years. Unfortuately my son could not join him the last time..as he was killed 5-7-04 in a fire fight with some insurgents. The first Marine killed in Afghanistan. He went for people like you whose life was stolen from them without cause. He didn't have to meet you.....he knew, you deserved to be honored in this way. He gave the ultimate sacrifice...and I say without hestition, if he had to do it again, he would without blinking an eye...We would support him without pause. You and all the people of 9/11 who lost their lives deserve that. He is not here to continue the fight but rest assured his buddies are. YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. Our son's memory will forever hold you in our hearts.

Michael A. Nazario, PhD

September 11, 2005

Dear Francis, like I mentioned before, for some reason I think of you, 9/11, and all the victims that perished on that fateful day, constantly.



Today, a few minutes ago, marked the 4th year of your loss, and this National tragedy.



I pray for all the victims, their families and friends, and I hope it has become easier for them to be able to bear and cope with their loss.



God Bless you, "everyone else", and remember, "Families are Forever".



Love, your cousin Michael & Jeitsa, Aysen and Miranda.

May 22, 2005

My Dear Francis, I don't think that a day goes by without me thinking about 9/11, you and the many victims and families and the impact all of this had on us and I still can't believe that it happened.

I know in my Heart that Dad is with you, and that in a way brings me feeling of comfort in knowing that you are also with him and that you are taking care of each other as Nazarios should.

We can only comprehend time as human beings, but to our Heavenly Father our time is "boundless, without beginning or end" so in essence, the time we spend here on earth is just a very minute moment in spiritual language... where everything counts for real. So cousin, I speak to you from the bottom of my Heart and I tell you that as a Nazario, I Love you and I know you are up there with Dad and soon perhaps we shall all make sense of all of this. I am sure by now you two know more about it than us down here. Can you do me a Big, Big, Big, favor? When you see Dad again up there, tell him that I really miss him and that there has been so many times that I wished he could be here with me. Tell him that I love him real hard and that I miss him again. And Francis, I know in my Heart you are a Guardian Angel as you used to take care of Uncle John, your Dad, now you are taking care of mine, your Uncle Charlie. May our Heavenly Father Bless your Wife and Baby and I hope they read this entry. I hope they could contact me. My email is [email protected] Well Francis, do your stuff and send the message, I'll be waiting for their response. God Bless,

Your Cousin,

It's been a very hard time knowing that you are gone since 9-11. We all still want to believe that you will show up but unfortunately reality is different. The sadness is now hitting hard again especially now that the weather is right for jet-skiing and we will not be out on the Raritan river or the Hudson river together anymore. We think about you every day and always will. Keeping in touch with Julie is helping both our families cope. We forever miss your smile and no questions asked willingness to help us with anything. We love you, Julie and Lena with all of our hearts and will forever do so. Your best friends, Renee, Rhianna and Doug.

We are deeply sorry for your loss of your soul mate Francis. May his love and life live on through your daughter, Lena and yourself, Julieanne. May you always feel the warmth of his love surround you. 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
