Paul Curioli Obituary
The son and grandson of skilled craftsmen, Paul Curioli discovered his carpentry gene only after he married. But he quickly made up for lost time.
On weekends, when he wasn't in the bleachers cheering on his teenage sons' baseball or football teams, Mr. Curioli, 53, a vice president with FM Global, a commercial insurance company, could typically be found in the garage of his home in Norwalk, Conn., knee-deep in a woodworking project. He built dressers, tables, a blanket chest, a corner cabinet for the television, a game table with an inlaid checkerboard top. His specialty, however, was birdhouses.
In the beginning, he made simple A-frame models. But over time, they became more elaborate. "Some were shingled and stuccoed by hand," said Mr. Curioli's wife, Kathi. "They're beautiful -- like Colonial homes."
A family man who grew his own tomatoes, Mr. Curioli had big plans for his birdhouses. In early September, he told his wife that he thought Martha Stewart might like to see them and asked her to write Ms. Stewart a letter.
After he was lost while attending a meeting at the World Trade Center, Mrs. Curioli decided to act on his request. Last week, she sent Ms. Stewart an e-mail message relating her husband's story and describing his birdhouses. "He had just started one," Mrs. Curioli said. "It's sitting here unfinished."

Uncle Paul, As I sit at work listening to the 9-11 service and they are getting closer and closer to your name. I can't help but think of you today and everyday. I have a son now, he would have loved to have known you and learn from you. You're two boys have become wonderful fathers themselves. I miss you uncle Paul and aunt Kathi very much. Sending love everyday. I treasure the birdhouse she gave me that you made. Keep watching over all of us until we meet again

It is on the anniversary of 9/11 that I remember Paul's name. I met him only briefly at Arkwright (later FM Global) when the office was still in Shelton, CT in the early-mid-90's. My life path took me out of state, and it was just a few years later that I heard the news of the WTC towers unfold on my car radio. We meet or cross paths or connect with people for a reason; the name Paul Curioli will always be connection to the events of that day. My sympathies to Paul's family who carry on.

God Bless you Cathy and your family. You and Paul were good and loyal clients and over the years I have timed and tuned into the names to hear Paul's called out. I tried to give you your privacy but I would often inquire and I heard that you were running strong.
Blessings.

Its been 16 years my dear Paul, and I miss you every day. I have so many things to share with you like your first grandson born this year! He is beautiful and Paulie is a wonderful father. This little grandbaby has given me much joy and I thank God. And our youngest son Nicholas is now a Police officer and I am so proud of him!! He is so independent and looks alot like you. They both have certain ways that remind me of you. I'll always miss you until we meet again.
Love Kathi

I miss you Paul, cant't believe I'm going to be a grandma and you a grandpa lol. Paulie and Nick will make wonderful dads because of where they came from. I'm so proud of our sons, Nick so brave to become a police officer I know you will keep a watchful eye on him. I sometimes wonder why things happen and realize they happen to all families just some are more painful than others, I guess it makes up stronger. I need extra prayers for my health that God gives me the strength to be strong and keep going. I love you Paul and am grateful I had the pleasure of being in your life, I just wish I had you much longer. Till we meet again, all my love,

Dear Paul,
I was so upset when I heard that you passed away on 9/11 I have so many happy memories of growing up on Chestnut St.Gerry and I along with Dana,Patty and Anna would always be together,there were many nights that Gerry would invite me to dinner,loved your moms dinners she was a great cook. Rest in peace,I know your family will never forget.

Paul,
On this tenth anniversary of September 11th, I want to tell you that although I only worked with you after the FM Global merger in 1999, I grew to respect you and Bob Baierwalter's professional skills and underwriting abilities. You two were a truly an effective team and long time partners. That sounds so ostentatious. And you would of been the first to tell me so. The real respect I held and hold for you is that while you put your professional (FM Global) objectives at the front, you still had a great appreciation for the people who had to get these jobs and objectives done. You respected and had great affection for them. You understood their feelings and needs. Yet the jobs still got done. And done very well. And you made it fun to the best of your ability. Because you loved making deals and you were having fun.
That is why you were so effective and great as a manager and an underwriter.
I went to your Norwalk office alot after Septemeber 11th to help out. I took over the underwriting on the Pfizer deal for you and a couple other new accounts. I do not normally hear or see ghosts. But you were talking to me on that first visit to Norwalk driving up from New Jersey saying "Be nice, this is my office, be nice to everyone". In the context of the times, it was good advice.
Kathi,
I am sorry for your loss and rememeber, Paul is having fun somewhere and I hope you are trying to too.
Regards Pat Duus

I can't believe it has been 8 years since we lost you. I know you are peaceful. Aunt Kathi and the Boys are stronger every year. We know you are having a blast with Uncle Lenny. Hope you guys are in that big casino taking every ones money. I miss you terribly. You became a Hero that day for the wrong reason. You were an amazing man when you were here. I will never forget you.
I wish you had gotten to meet my husband Chris, he and you could have built so many things together.
Take care of uncle lenny and my grandfather(s) for me. Play a round of golf with my moms dad. The Beadle Family Loves you.

Paul,
You may not be here physically with us, but you sure are in sprit. I know you are watching down on Paulie and Nicky and especially my best friend Kathi. The strength you send to her is amazing to watch. She has done a wonderful job of raising your sons and especially keeping your memory alive in so many ways I can’t count. I see you in your sons. You will never be gone Paul – your circle of life will live on forever in your sons. Kathi and I speak of you often and when we do I have such a warm feeling that you are listening to us. I miss you Paul, I really miss your sense of humor and your practical jokes. Don’t worry I will always be there for Kathi, Paul and Nicky. She knows I am always just a phone call away.
With much love

Uncle Paul,
I must say that it's been six years and it's the same day this year as it was when you died. I still can't believe it. I went to both memorial services with Aunt Kathi and they were both beautiful. I wish you were here, because i could really use a beautiful bird house built for my new apartment. I miss you and I love you, more and more every day that passes but i will never forget the man you were and everything you instilled in me in the little time i had to know you. I love you

My son, Kevin remembers Pauly and Nick, he played ball with Eric. How sorry I am for you and the boys. I will say an extra prayer tonite for you, the boys and Paul.

Dear Kathi,
I just want to extend my sympathy to you and your boys for the loss of Paul. When I saw his name in the Greenwich Time, I could not believe it could be the same Paul I knew from Arkwright-Greenwich Office a long time ago. After seeing his picture today 9/11/03 it confirmed what I hoped was not true, it was the same Paul I worked with so long ago. He was a wonderful person and co-worker, he will be missed by many. God bless you and your sons.

Dear Paul, it has been many years since we have worked together. However, the 7 years that we did work together has left me with funny and wonderful memories...
Arkwright-Greenwich is where I first met you. After time working with you and discovering what a "Gentle Ben" you were, I thought, there is no way this man will climb the corporate ladder, "he's just to nice". However, you proved my thoughts wrong, not only did you climb the corporate ladder, but you've climbed as high as anyone could climb...You made it to the top and you can't get any higher than you are now...
Thanks for the smiles, laughter and memories...But most of all, "THANK YOU" for giving me the honor of knowing such a wonderful person who always wanted the best for all his co-workers!
Your memory lives on forever...
To Paul's family, my thoughts and prayers are with you always...

Dear Mrs. C, Nick and Paul,
I currently write this letter with tears in my eyes. I still remember that moment in my 7th grade Social Studies class. I remember the TV turning on and me thinking that this is some wierd tv movie. I wish it was. I cannot tell you how much sorrow I feel for you guys, and how much regret I feel for not seeing you more Nick. I remember the first time I met your dad, and hearing some of his jokes. He was really a family man who cared deeply for you guys. I cannot tell you how good of a man your father was. I still remember the speeches everyone gave in your dad's memorial service. Your dad was the type of person that I wish the world was made of. He was strong, honest, and only cared for you guys. I really wish I could talk more, but, It takes alot out of me. Nick and Paul, follow your mom, she knows what she's doing. And Mrs. C. you truly inspire me. Your bravery and truthfullness is aweing. I love all you guys from the bottom of my heart. If any of you guys need anything, I mean ANYTHING! give me a call. I love you guys. 9-11-01. WE WILL NEVER FORGET!

It's been over a year since I saw Paul's name listed in the Stamford Advocate as one of the victims of the WTC attack. In my heart I knew it was the Paul that I remembered but I hoped and prayed that it wasn't. Today stumbling onto this tribute it has sadly been confirmed to me. I remember Paul & Kathi well from our days working at Arkwright together. I remember vividly when you two met & fell in love, I think, telling just me at first, keeping the secret. I'll never forget the way funny way you would tell each other "I love you" so that no one in the office knew what you were saying.
Kath, my heart is so with you and I wish you the fondest of memories to get you through every day.
All my love.

During the 9 or so years I worked for Paul as his assistant I came to know the wonderful family oriented man he was. To Paul family came first. I think about him often and how we lost such an smart, energetic, fun loving person. A week after I retired Paul sent me an email with a work related attachment and a note "Dee, please print and file", I still chuckle whenever I think about that. I smile when I think how we used to call him the "phantom" because one minute he was in his office and a second later he was down the office hall or out in front of the building having a "smoke". When he would call into the office he used to start the conversation with "Yo,Dee". My last memory of seeing Paul was a few days before 9/11 as I was driving by his favorite restaurant "Maria Tratoria's", I spotted Paul and a co-worker walking toward the restaurant, I beeped and he looked up, smiled and yelled "YO Dee". That's the way I will always remember Paul, with a smile and a chuckle.

This is the last time I acknowledge Paul with 9-11. It is too painful to remember him with this day.I'll never want to remember the end .Rather I will celebrate his life on October 22, the day of his birth. My first child's birthday is also Oct.22 and we should all celebrate his life. He lived life for his family. If you listen to the stories, his life was the perfect loving life. One that all of us wish we could even come close to living ourselves. You can see the wonderful person he was by looking at his children, my cousins, Paulie and Nicky. You could see him in those beautiful faces and their souls.
Paul, We will always be there for Kathi and the kids. Your legacy will live on in your kids. So please rest in peace and know we love you, miss you terribly and will carry on your life as best we can. I thank God for knowing you!! and I pray to God to keep your family happy and full of your life.

It has been nine months since that tragic day. Although it is said that time will heal wounds, the loss of Paul is still foremost in my mind.
I worked with Paul for over 20 years and came to know him not only as a co-worker but as a devoted family man and friend.
Paul's sense of humor and love of life will be missed by all of us who loved him. May God hold him in the palm of His hand.

Paul was my boss and my friend. I'll never forget his great sense of humor and how he loved to play practical jokes. Nothing made him happier than tricking someone with one of his pranks.
My heart goes out to his wife and boys--he loved them all very much!

Paul - The picture of you cooking at the grill at Casey's birthday party last year in New York is on my refrigerator door. It's been there since we first heard the horrible news that September morning that you were in one of those buildings. Everyone who opens my 'fridge can't help but look at you and wonder why this had to happen to the nicest man on this earth.
There are people in Florida _ you have no idea who they are _ that know all about you and the type of man, husband and father you were.
Your legacy lives on in your children and you will be very proud of the men they will be. I have no doubt Kathi will continue to be the best mother she has always been. She is up to the task of taking on the role of father, as well.
Who knows why this had to happen to you and all the other innocent souls. I can't make sense out of it.
Just know you are always in the thoughts of your extended family in Florida.

It was an honor to have known you and a privelege to work with you. You always made me laugh! But what I remember most about you is how important your family was to you - how proud you were of your children. God Bless You Paul!

You are always in our thaughts and prayers. It was an honor to be able to know you share some fun family gatherings. I know you are looking down on Kathi and the boys and I also know you know they will be ok. With your help and god's help they will make it through this . We miss you and one day we will play at that poker table again.
Happy Easter Paul!

Paul,My Deat Brother-in Law,
We all miss you very much.I don't know why this had to happen to you,but it did.It's not fair. I'm told there is a reason why things happen in this world,but i just can't figure this one out.
I'm doing my best to get Kathi and the boys through this. I will always be here whenever they need me. As long as i know your watching them from up there (and i know you are),I'll do what i can from here.
I love my sister Kathi very much. We both know how strong she is.It will take time (a long time),but she will make it through this. She will do this for you, the boys, and most of all herself.
Again we miss you and love you very much.
Love always your,
your sister-in-law
Tammy
P.S. I had a great time at Fernwood with you Kathi and the boys.
The next time i see you,have the pool table ready, a card game set up,and YES when you say Tam get me a cup of coffee, I'll be more than happy to do so.

Paul and I loved to talk about movies. It turns out that we both loved the “The Shawshank Redemption”. We would laugh at how often they showed it on TV and although we had seen it hundreds of times, we would watch it again and laugh about it the next day. We knew almost all the dialog by heart. Paul’s favorite scene is when Andy plays the Opera and the entire prison stops to listen. Paul wanted to buy the soundtrack because of that one piece of music, we agreed it is beautiful beyond words.
I think of Paul everyday. I can hear his voice and especially his laugh and it makes me smile. Thinking of him reminds me of my favorite scene in the movie. It is after Andy is gone from Shawshank and Red says:
“It makes me sad, him being gone.
I have to remind myself that some birds aren’t meant to be caged;
Their feathers are just too bright.
And when they fly away,
The part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice.
But still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty
now that they’re gone.
I guess I just miss my friend…”

Paul was a coworker and friend for many years. I first met him in 1986 when I moved to the Greenwich CT office of Arkwright. Over the years, we talked many times about a subject we had in common, the one of gardening. I never got to see any of his wood working projects, but wish I had. Paul spoke often about his family. He said to me while discussing issues and concerns in work that it's important to keep it all in perspective. Work was always a distant second to his family and loved ones. Paul reminded me that there is nothing in the office more important than anything at home. We all miss Paul in the Norwalk office and my deepest symphonies go out to his family.

My dear Paul, a wonderful husband and father how much you are missed. I will go on and do what you expect me to do. I will make it to the top of the mountain and you will be proud - until the day the lord calls my name and we meet again, you will forever be in my heart.
Love Kathi

My deepest sympathies to Paul's family. I knew Paul through his work with American/Fortune Brands. He was always the consummate professional and was devoted to his family. He will be missed by all who knew him.

Kathi, I just found out about Paul this morning, and I was shocked to tears. I remember how you and Paul kid and teased as friends when we work at Ark-Wright Ins. Co., then came true love and marriage. Paul is gone but not forgotten, and is now working as a carpenter for Jesus. May God keep you and your family in his loving care.

With deepest sympathy to Paul's wife, Kathi and their sons. We used to live on their street and remain friends with a neighbour. We were shocked when we told of the horrible news.

We are very sorry for your loss of Paul. May his woodworking abilities, his life and love live on in you. May the sorrow in your hearts be lightened by golden memories of times shared with Paul. 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
