Terrence Gazzani Obituary
At the end of the week's bond trading at Cantor Fitzgerald, Terrence Gazzani geared up for a weekend that was equally demanding but a lot more fun. He and a group of friends shared a beach house in Hampton Bays, where he worked as a bouncer at Boardy Barn, a popular Hamptons nightclub.
"This summer was going to be the last," said Tracy Gazzani, his mother. "He started there in college, but bouncing and working at Cantor Fitzgerald was a little bit too much. And he still had to go out."
In the city, where he lived with his parents in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, Mr. Gazzani, 24, went to the gym after work or to restaurants and nightclubs with friends. His style was friendly and laid back. "All his cousins wanted to be as cool as he was," Mrs. Gazzani said.
"He lit up a room," she added. "I keep waiting to hear him say: 'Ma, could you have this shirt ready for me? I'm going out.' "

Terry,
Met your mother this past week at the 9/11 Memorial. Such a sweet lady and I will always remember her face and her story about you. I will continue to pray God will keep her strong and comforted and she will get that call one day soon that will give her some sense of peace. May God Bless your family and I will always have a memory that will hold strong to this memorial from this day forward.

Visited the 9/11 pool today and just randomly took a picture and Terrence Gazzani’s name is in it. I looked up his story and he seemed like a great dude. I just want to let the family know that Terrence and all the other victims that day will never be forgotten. God bless you all

Gone too soon, sleep peacefully. RIP.

Terrence´s story hit me hard because I share the same birthday as Terrence and the same name as his girlfriend. Terrence sounds like he was a very happy, vibrant, and dedicated young man, and I´m so sorry for what happened to him that awful day. Please know he is never forgotten. Happy heavenly birthday, Terrence.

To Terry's Mom: I just saw you on CBS local news on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of 9/11. You were so gracious, and you spoke with such eloquence about your son. I am so terribly sorry for your family's loss. You honor your son's memory in such an admirable way by volunteering at the 9/11 Remembrance Museum.
Sending prayers and healing thoughts your way.

Terry's mum was our guide when we visited New York 10 years ago. She told us she did tours of ground zero to tell people all about her son and we've never forgotten. With all our love, thinking of your family from Glasgow

As a 9/11 widow and a fairy new resident of bayridge, just wanted to extend my condolences to the Gazzani family as I often walk past Terry's street sign on the corner of 98th and 3rd, and decided to finally look him up. This stranger will always say a prayer when I see his sign.

Terry,
I'm thinking about you and your family tonight. Your whole family was always so welcoming and it was a joy to be around them. I have such fond memories from our childhood and I will never forget how you always made me laugh and smile. You still do. My only regret is that we didn't keep in touch before 9/11 and I missed hanging out with you before that terrible day. Your love for life keeps me going. Rest in peace, my friend.

Terry,
It's been a really long time since I've written. For the past few weeks, I've been thinking about you a lot and ask for your guidance during this time of uncertainty. Your energy and love for life cannot be replicated and I've been trying to hold on to just a piece of your joy. You are joined by many people I love and I'm lucky to have so many angels looking over me. Much love.

Terry:
We never met. Our mothers are cousins, but we live outside of NYC and have lost touch with the family. I share a sense of loss with the whole nation/world when I reflect on Sept. 11th, yet I also have a sadness that I missed a chance to know you.
None of us know why we are here or why we leave. As you continue your journey, I wish for you peace and joy as you search out those answers.

Lately, I've been thinking about you constantly. I see people that resemble you; I hear songs that remind me of you. You hear my thoughts and know how I feel about all this.
I still cannot believe you are gone. I think of your mom and dad and the friends that grieve over your loss, but live to make you proud.
I hope we make you proud, Ter.
I saw the eternal wall outside of St. Vincent's last night. All I wanted to do was get of the car and look for your picture- the flier that was going to bring you home. If I could go and look at your picture, I'd be closer to you- I'd see you.
Ter, to this day no one believes what happened. I don't think I will ever believe or understand what has happened. Though I did not see you often, I miss you.
Nothing is the same. There's a sense of loneliness and emptiness surrounding me, and so I ask you to please watch over me, guide me in the right direction, and let your spirit and energy surround me.
love always...

Dear Terence,
Today is the one year anniversary of September 11th. At the school I attend, St. Agnes Academy, we had a prayer service. The whole school recieved wrist bands that have a name and age of someone who died in the horrible accidents. The wrist band that I got had your name on it and your age. I thought I would sign this guest book just to tell you that I, and the rest of my school, prayed for you today, and everyday.

Dear Terry,
After a day of fultile searching, of all the numerous lives I saw displayed as missing at home in Union Square, you are one who stood out in your utter guileless happiness and 'summer good time' look...
it still makes no sense.
you gave a face to my grieving, and my thoughts and prayers have been,and remain with you and your family.
What joy you brought to everyone who knew you. I am proud to have learned about you, and appreciate the face you gave to inhuman, incomprehensible time.

Your picture was the first one I saw on September 12, and since then I could never forget your face. A copy of it is still hanging on St. Vincent's wall.

Dear Terry,
It's been almost 7 months and it has not gotten easier. I miss hearing you laugh, and seeing your smile that could break a thousand hearts.
The one thing that brings me comfort is knowing that you are in heaven and at peace. Your role in so many lives has become more powerful, because we know we have an angel looking over us.
Miss you and love you.

My dear Terry,
I write this to you on your 25th birthday. Although we were not so close, I miss you and think about you all teh time. Your love for life was contagious, and for that I live my life knowing your philosophy; I live for you. May you rest in peace, my angel.

Tracy,
Our prayers continue to be with you and your family. I'm just glad your mother's not here to suffer the loss of her grandson. What fond memories I have of spending time with your family as I was growing up - especially Riverhead. Stay strong.

We are very sorry for your loss of Terrence. 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
