Robert Tipaldi Obituary
At 25, Robert Tipaldi was generous in success, his relatives say. Two months ago, he bought a summer home in New Jersey, where he loved to entertain family and friends. Next year, he planned to buy a boat for his 40-foot dock at the house. "He wanted to enjoy everything and have everybody enjoy his fortune as well," said his stepfather, Gerard Lombardo.
Mr. Tipaldi rode a motorcycle, went skydiving, played ice hockey and planned to become engaged to his girlfriend next year. He lived in Bellmore, N.Y., with his mother, Stella Lombardo, and his stepfather. Mr. Tipaldi was an assistant trader with Cantor Fitzgerald on the 104th floor of 1 World Trade Center. He cherished the job for its intensity and excitement, Mr. Lombardo said. On the morning of the attacks, his mother heard from Mr. Tipaldi one last time. He told her he loved her and to tell everybody he loved them, too.

Thank you Robert, thank you for that ride home from Bally's gym on 86th st with your new White Acura Type S after our workouts. I'll never forget how happy you were with that car and it's Euro-shifter. Thank you for those laughs on Halloween night at Enigma night club with your suspenders, highwater pants, and poindexter glasses with the white tape in the center, nerd costume. You were always happy with those pearly white teeth. knowing how I worked two jobs, would offer me a job at Cantor Fitz with you and I never found the time to make it. Your generosity and love to help others is what I remember most. And again thank you. Mom did a great job raising an amazing man. RIP & God Bless your soul.

Thinking of Rob and the Tipaldi Family today. I had the pleasure of meeting Rob as a teenager on Masten Lake. My family (The Brennan´s) owned a summer home only a few houses down the road. We lost one of our own on this day as well. Sending love to all who Rob touched.

it's just about that time of year again and again, not a week goes bye where I don't think about my boy Rob, he's always on my mind , I can't stop thinking about what it would be like to still have him in my life in the year 2023....simply put Rob was pretty much the koolest dude I ever met. the charisma he had was infectious, no matter who you where or what're you were, you just loved Rob
miss you so much my brother.... what a total loss to this messed up world we all live in now , Rob all on his own could of made it a much better place... and that last sentence, sums up who robber tipaldi really was , a total loss for humanity.... miss you and love you my brother

It might be 20 years but our feelings don’t change no matter how long it’s been. When 9/11 comes around it feels like it was yesterday. You along with the other 2,996 lives were taken to soon. Your family thinks of you all year long. We know your at peace and not in pain after that tragic day. You are an Angel. God bless you Robert and continue watching over us all ❤ Cousin, Thomas

Dearest Robert, I was thinking of you and missing you this morning, as I do everyday. It seems as the years pass, the memories of 9/11 fade for some, but not for me, your family, friends, and those who loved you so much. It's been a rough few months. Your house in brick was affected by "Sandy" and we are in the process of rebuilding. It will be beautiful again when it's done. It's amazing how we lost so much but the things with your name remained in tact, untouched. The yard was trashed but the little memorial for you was still in place. I guess you couldn't save everything but managed to guard all the things that mean alot to us. Anyway, the house should be done by late Spring, and we will enjoy our special place once again. Love you always and forever, Mom

Robert,
I want you to know that you and your family are in my family's hearts today. 11 years ago and I still get the same feelings of sorrow and anger when I relive what happened that day. Reading your mom's and sister's posts tears at my heart each and every time I read it. I did smile when I read that you became an uncle again. I'm sure your family will never forget about you and your nephews and nieces will grow up knowing all about you.

after 11 years my family and I had the possibility to come to ground zero. While I was standing there praying for you
and realizing that you where there... it chilled my blood... and I could hardly stop my tears, but after I looked up to the sky and I knew that you, now are an angel watching down to all of us. We love you and we will never forget. Cousin Nickie, Ida and Francesco

My Dearest Brother,
So much has changed since you were taken from us. I have a light in my life. My son. Stephen Robert gives us such joy. Even with these last few days of attending mass and memorials, he has managed to keep me smiling. He knows your picture and your name. We pray to you every night. I could only imagine what kind of Uncle you would be. Stephen has that fire in his eye.. I know I am in trouble. Good trouble. We love you so much and miss you. You are part of us every day.
Love you Always,
Your Sister..

Dearest Robert,
36 years ago you entered this world, my world, with your curious nature, bright eyes and beautiful smile that lit up a room. You grew to become a wonderful young man and at 25 you were enjoying your life and success, but always with room in your life for family and friends. Then suddenly you were taken from us, but not without leaving an impact on everyone who knew you. For us, its not about the day you died but about all the days you lived, and today we will remember your life and celebrate all the great memories. We wish you a Happy Birthday in Heaven. I was blessed to be your mother and I will love you always and forever. Mom

Hi Robert,
It must be pretty busy up there in heaven. You have so much family there, and I'm sure there was a celebration when Uncle Phil arrived; beautiful music, lots of funny jokes. I can only imagine what its like and I hope its as awesome as we believe. It doesn't change how much I miss you here. Stephen Robert's Baptism was perfect, and he was a very well behaved and happy little guy. But you know that because I am sure you were there. Richard did a great job as Godfather and gave a beautiful toast.
Anyway, you are with me everyday and I love you always and forever, Mom
March 20, 2012
Hi Rob, I read your entries all the time, but today I decided to write you. Your Uncle Philly is up there with you now too. I couldn't help but smile when I thought of you & him sitting up there enjoying a giant table full of crabs! Oh what wonderful dinners you all must be having up there! Hug your Uncle tight and tell him its from me ok? Love you, Heidi

Robert,
3 months ago you became an uncle again. Your nephew Stephen Robert is a happy, healthy, and a hungry baby!! He makes me smile all day and brings so much joy to our lives. There is no other feeling like being a mom. He has been a true gift. Hearing mommy laugh at him makes me feel so good that Jon and I were able to create that little bit of happiness. I know it doesn't fix her hole, but it certainly makes her heart smile.. I miss you and wish you could hold him. I know you do in your own way. I know you watch over us. I know you will be very present on Sunday when he is baptized and welcomed into the community of Christianity. I promise to make sure he knows his uncle.. Love you

My dearest Son Robert,
Always thinking of you but it seems more than usual lately. You now have a beautiful new nephew Stephen Robert. He is so cute. He loves to eat, just like you did and he is always happy and smiling. Being around my 3 grandsons (your nephews) reminds me of you and Richard. I think back to when you were little boys. I've been doing that alot these days. Robert, Damian and Stephen are great little guys and they bring me joy and make my heart smile. I hope you can see them from heaven and watch over them. I miss you so much and my heart always aches for you. I will love you always and forever, Mom

"The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. Psalm 23"

Dear Robert,
Tomorrow will be the 10th anniversary of the greatest tragedy to ever face the world and our family. I know we didn't see each other too much, but I will always remember the times that we did. Everyone tells me how great of a person you were. I look up to you as a cousin and as a person. You did great things and you still are doing great things in heaven. Your loss takes a toll on everyone, but I take it as strength to get me through my toughest times. I want you to know that I am proud of you and hope to achieve great things in life, just like you. Love you cousin and be well. Dio ti benedica

Robert,
10 years have gone by so fast. However, so much has changed. 10 years doesn't just represent how long you have been gone, but how much we have grown, new memories being born, how our lives have changed because of losing you. Losing you was and is still devastating, losing you has taught me to find positive in everything, everyone and every situation. Even when there doesn't seem like there is any good, dig deep and find it. "life is too short and live with no regrets" these quotes seem so typical but they are true. You lived this way, not knowing you were going to be taken from this physical world prematurely. You were so fulfilled for such a young age. I will always wonder what could have been, where you would be right now. I know you are happy regardless, in heaven you have no wants.
Jon and I have been blessed with a miracle. He will be born in December, and he will bring new meaning to our life. Your legacy will be shared with him, and he will know everything about his Uncle Robert. 10 years represents a new chapter in our lives, it's a new beginning for us. You will continue to be apart of every chapter, until the end. I love you and miss you! I know you are with me. Thank you.
Love always,
Your Sister

Dearest Robert,
As you rest peacefully in heaven, the demon responsible for your death burns in hell forever. Justice is finally done. It doesn't bring you back to us but there is comfort knowing the evil man is gone from this earth. As the world celebrated his death, we were deeply saddened by thoughts of 9/11 and losing you. Our hearts will always ache with that pain, but our precious memories will keep you alive within us everyday.
Friday would be your 35th birthday. So there's lots for you to celebrate in heaven. We will remember you too with your favorite cake and messages of love sent to you with white balloons.
So, my son, Happy Birthday. For us, you are 35, but in heaven, you are forever young. I love and miss you, always and forever, Mom

Robert,
Sunday night we finally heard the news we all wanted to hear that Osama was dead. We greeted that news with great emotion. I was out Sunday night partying early for my birthday coming up which I rarely do when I heard it through a friend and a voice message on my cell and I just broke down thinking of you. I hope this is at least some closure for your family knowing that monster isn't on the face of the earth anymore.
God Bless you and a Happy Birthday. I know its coming up on Friday.
Love,

I first saw the above photo of Robert on the cover of Newsday early in 2002. I read his bio and was deeply saddenend and angered. He's one of the many we lost on that terrible day that I continue to think about, in addition to several close acquaintances. If I ever have a son, his first name will be his paternal grandfather's, as Italian tradition dictates, and his middle name will be Robert.

Nine years since the towers fell
Nine years since the world’s eyes swelled
How do we measure nine years?
Do we measure by counting the tears?
I measure by the smiles I cannot see.
I measure by the heartache inside of me.
I measure by the laughter I sorely miss.
I measure by the special occasions, too many to list.
Nine years, nine months, or just nine days?
When the towers fell, who was to blame?
What does it matter. The heartache is the same.
Nine years ago, I lost my son.
The pain of that compares to none.
A treasure of memories keeps me strong each day.
And in my heart he’ll always stay,
Because a mother’s love never fades away.
Robert, love you always and forever, Mom

Hey,
It's been a long time just wanted to wish you a very Happy Birthday. I thought of you the minute I woke up. Then the strangest thing happened I was with my cousin and I mentioned that today was your birthday. She said no way it's Lucas' birthday today too. Lucas was with us for such a short time he was only 3 years old. When he passed I cried so much hoping you would here my prayers and watch over him. I hope that you both have a Blessed Birthday in heaven. I love you always will.

I could only imagine the amount of busting chops that would have gone down at the family parties...just know that I am looking over Lauren down here, like we know that you are looking over her from up there.

Happy Birthday
Can't help but think where would you be right now, what would you be doing right now. Our lives move on, and yours stays still. Frozen in time, you will always be 25 to us. You don't get old, gray and wrinkly...(not that you would be at 34)Can't help to think, would you have been a father? A great uncle for sure....It's hard not to think about these things...Forever young you will stay...Love you Miss you. Happy Birthday!
Love you! Lauren
(no matter how old I get I will always be your little sister)

Hi Rob,
Happy Birthday in heaven. Your cake is baked, and I'm getting the balloons. Our family will be here later. We always try to remember you in our own special way on your birthday. We'll probably tell funny stories about you that make us laugh, but deep inside, there's always a sadness that never goes away. There's so many questions without answers. Today we just want to celebrate the day you were born, and the 25 years you had with us, and lived to the fullest. Hope you're partying up there with your buddies like you always did on your birthdays down here! Love you always and forever, Mom

Dearest Robert,
It was quite a night on Friday, a fundraiser event for a scholarship in your memory. There was over 180 in attendance, all honoring you and remembering you with love and respect. There were funny, loving stories told about you by family, friends, and former teachers. What a tribute to you. Like your sister Lauren said, it's not the years you live, but the way you live the years. You impacted so many lives in a positive way. We are keeping your legacy alive, and you continue to be in the hearts of everyone who knew and loved you. As for me,you already know that you're with me everyday and I will love you always and forever, Mom

Hey Rob,
It's been a while. I have been thinking of you a lot lately. My life is taking another turn and we are moving. I know I'm going to love my new life but leaving the city saddens me. It helps to sit down talk to you and just ask myself what you would do. I miss you so much. The other day we watched the video of you and Uncle Dan bungee jumping it was great to have that memory. Stefani turned sweet 16 and she did a photo montage and there you were on the big screen. I'm glad you are always there for the important stuff. Love you always! Kisses to you and all our family and friends up there.
