Harold Lizcano Obituary
He wanted something else, something new, something more. Yes, he was a dreamer.
Harold Lizcano liked working with numbers just fine. He was an accountant at Carr Futures. But at 31, newly married, he was thinking about a business of his own, something he could operate out of home once he began raising a family.
He was already talking with his wife, Emily, about having children. He wanted a big family, maybe four kids, and a big house somewhere. He had never had that. His father left home when he was 5, and he never saw him again. He had no siblings. It was just him and his mother.
"The latest thing he had on his mind was to open up a Web site," Mrs. Lizcano said. "His new idea was a site with classified ads for jobs and cars."
On Monday night, Sept. 10, he stationed himself before his computer and spent the evening surfing the Internet researching his dream. He was getting excited. "I was less excited," Mrs. Lizcano said, "because I was watching Spanish soap operas and they're hard to compete with. He kept calling me in to look at something. I'd say, 'Wait till the commercials.' "

I know you are always looking down at us and making sure we are alright...when you do I'm sure you notice how our lives have changed and how we have as well ever since. I'm sure you also notice us looking up when we think of you, and how much we still miss you everyday.
As much as all that has happened has changed us, know no matter what you remain in our hearts. And I will continue to live my life to keep you smiling.

I'm writing on behalf of Ramiro Lizcano. He is in the Navy, fighting in Iraq. He read the list of victims from September 11, and found Harold's name, noting that his own last name is the same. Ramiro is not related to Harold's family, but he wanted to honor his memory.
Tomorrow, on September 11, 2008, he will fly an American flag over Fallujah, in Harold Lizcano's memory. Ramiro would like to mail that flag to Harold's family.
I can be reached at kelseykilgore.com - where there is a link to email me. I will gladly pass along an address to Ramiro. He found my site because I posted about Harold a few years ago.
Please let me know who the flag should be mailed to, and I'll pass this along to Ramiro. I'm a Christian writer and a stay at home mom - and my website is holymama.org .
Thank you, Kelsey

I am in the Navy and I am currently in IRAQ fighting in this war. September 11th is a day none of us will ever forget. I did not know Harold, but as I was reading the list of names, I came across his last name, Lizcano. I too am a Lizcano and well, I felt like there was something that I wanted to do. I am flying An American Flag in Harold's memory on September 11 2008 here in Fallujah and would like to forward it to a family member if they choose to accept it. Please contact me at [email protected] with any information as to where I can mail The United States Flag that will be flown tomorrow. Thank you.

The Broken Chain
We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name,
In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same.
It broke out hearts to lose you,
You did not go alone,
For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories,
Your love is still our guide,
And though we can not see you, Your always at our side.
Our family chain is broken ,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The Chain will link again.

My name is Katherine. I am Emily's cousin. So many people say so may nice things about someone when they die. But I want everyone that reads this to know that there was no man onthis earth that was more humble, honest and good hearted than this man. I still remember the first time my cousin told me that Harold was interested in her. She was so cute and nervous. She is shy and was shocked that he nervous that he liked her. I was so touched that she told me. I always knew they woud end up together. If ayone saw them they would have known.
You see I was blessed. I knew Harold and Emily before they knew of each other. And when I tell you that no two people deserved each other more than them, I am not telling a lie. I remember the day of their wedding I ran ahead in the church before my cousin so I could talk to him. He was so nervous and he was soaked with sweat. I looked at him and laughed. He told me Emily had stood him up cause she was late. I told him he was right outside and he started glowing and laughing. This was the moment he waited for. His soul mate was outside the doors. I hugged him and gave him my final advise. "I am warning you, You better be good to my cousin, she dserves the best in this world...Thats why she is going to marry you." He hugged me and I ran back out.
Harold, I know that you are watching over her because I see the strength in her eyes. I know you are comforting her, because I can see it in her smile. And I know you are waiting for her, because I see it in her faith. I know that my God will not fail us and that these two souls will be reunited again in a place where NO ONE can ever come between them again.
To my cousin: Emily, I can only tell you this. I wll always be here for you and I will always love you. Your strength and courage is what helped me move on from this horrible tragedy. May the love you two shared continue to help you see tomorrow.

My deepest sympathy goes out to Harold's family. I am so sorry that this had to happen to such a wonderful human being. I knew Harold from his previous job prior to Carr Futures. I met him in the train two weeks before this terrible trajedy happened. I gave him my e-mail address to say hi and keep in touch. He was so excited about being newly married. I will always remember him. He was a pleasure to work with. May god be with him and his family.

For Harold's Wife Emily & His Mother
Words cannot express how sad we were to hear of your loss. We worked with Harold at his previous job before Carr Futures. Harold brought such a bunch of joy to the office. We feel so grateful to have been blessed to know someone so special. Harold kept in touch with many of us after he left our company, updating us on his dreams as you mentioned. He is now in a better place. Our prayers are with you. Stay strong. Harold will be missed....

I am Harold's wife, Emily. I have been very touched by what has been written about my husband, not only by the ones that had the honor of knowing him personally, but more by those of you who never met Harold but have still been touched and hurt as we do. I pray every night for the day that Harold and I will be reunited but till that joyous day comes, may I live my life the way God and my husband best see it fit. You will forever be my reason to go on and for you I will. Love Always, Emily

Emily is my cousin, Harold's wife. Looking back on that day I remember changing my mind twice and not heading to that area which is where I am assigned to work. I couldn't understand the hesitation but for once I trusted my instincts. And that probably saved my life. I had walked the complete towers two weeks before that and I can still see all the port authority subdivision workers, officers in uniform, plaincloths and the numerious civilians. Till this day I wonder which ones got out alive. All law enforcement personal were deployed to the site for assistance, mine including. We at the Sheriff's dept. did the majority of escorts jobs for all people coming in, famous and not so famous. Relatives of the missing, friends of the deceased, out of town rescue workers, etc. The devestation was so unreal, standing there I could almost hear the crys for help for those souls lost. I remember at their wedding when Harold saids to me, "you know we're neighbors now so you must come over to the house". My cousin Emily turns and said. "He must really like you, he rarely invites anyone over"! I just laughed and remember them walking away thinking what a beautiful couple not knowing their future was short lived, But he is somewhere looking down on us and smiling with much love. I know he loved Emily very much and he will always see to it that she is never alone. I just wished I had gone to visit them not knowing that he would leave us so expectedly. To all those other other families I cry with you all.

We are very sorry for your loss of Harold. 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
