Stephen Joseph Obituary
The Pied Piper's allure was so strong that whenever he went to New Orleans for Mardi Gras, grown men clambered into a closet, trying to resist his dare for a sixth shot of tequila. But that booming laugh, the one you heard in the trading room of Fiduciary Trust before you saw him, beckoned: Stephen Joseph, who had a faint Trinidadian accent and the party-with-me magnetism of a world-class barkeep, could not be denied.
Even when he and his wife, Gillian, moved to Franklin Park, N.J., from Brooklyn, private time was rare with Mr. Joseph, 39, who had started as a messenger with a high school education and worked up to operations officer. The party followed him everywhere: 14 friends would arrive at their house for a barbecue; at restaurants, he would introduce Mrs. Joseph to all the diners he had met while she was in the ladies' room.
There was one Pied Piper whom Mr. Joseph himself found irresistible: his long- awaited child, Tristan Anthony. He had already taken Tristan, 2, to Disney World and to a Nets game, sat his son on his lap and driven around the block. "If you do all this now, what will you do when he's older?" Mrs. Joseph would ask. Mr. Joseph would just smile.

Mark and Amy visited the memorial this week and sent me photos of your name on a rainy Manhattan day. I can’t believe it’s been more than 21 years and we’ve been robbed of a lifetime of friendship together. I think of you and Gillian and Tristian all the time and wonder what our lives would be like with you still here. I miss you. I miss your prank calls to my work phone. I miss all the times we never got to spend together. You are still missed and loved and remembered.

I visited the memorial a week ago and was deeply moved. I was there back in '89 eating at the Windows restaurant and this was my first time back. As I looked at every name on the memorial - Stephen Joseph seemed to stand out (wonder why?). Looking at his photo inside on the wall I figured he was a lawyer. Once I got home and researched more to find out he was more like me as he was an Operations Officer who would make him the man I would meet with before I worked on his building. I found this very interesting as he reached out to me. Rest in Peace Stephen Joseph, your friend Stephen Joseph Shaw.

I visited Ground Zero, the 9/11 memorial site 13/02/17 and took some photos of the site to remember my visit and the only name that is on any of my photos is Stephen Joseph's, when I saw the photo I decided to google his name and find something out about Stephen so that I could think of something special when I saw his name, so far I have found that he was loved dearly and was an amazing father, may he rest in peace.

I can't believe its been 14yrs since you left us. We met while I worked for FTCI and your spirit took a bunch of office workers and turned us into a cool hangout group. Even though I was the youngest in the group and you called me "Lil Seymour" LOL, you always gave me solid advice on how to carry myself as a professional. I sit at my desk from time to time and remember some of the crazy comments you used to say and just snicker to myself. Miss you man. I hope Gillian and your son Tristan are doing well.

I visited the 9/11 memorial fountains on July 26, 2014. This was my first visit to NYC. I have no real connection to this incredible tragedy except the memories of hearing the news on the radio as I drove my daughter to preschool. I wanted to be able to somehow more permanently connect myself to this event knowing the impact this has had on so many others.
I walked up to the fountain that evening and decided to remember the first name I saw on the memorial. Stephen Joseph was the name. It was just a name until I began repeating it over and over in my head and tried to imagine his loved ones, their loss, and all he had brought to this world. I have chosen to keep him in my thoughts and prayers. Without knowing his past or those he left behind, I can see he was cared for deeply. On this important anniversary in our history, I am privileged to have found your name, Stephen Joseph. I am grateful for your courage in such an unexplainable moment in our lives.

Whether it was Mardi Gras or Essence Festival, I remember Stephen still so vividly: taking over the party with a bottle of bourbon in one hand and maple syrup in the other to be the "chaser" after the shot. Dancing to Will Smith. Hoisting me on his shoulders to get better beads from the floats. Does anyone know how to get in touch with Stephen's friend David? I lost touch and would love to reconnect with the one who brought Stephen down from Brooklyn to teach us jaded NOLA-ites how to get jiggy with it.

It's been 11 years since 9/11 and Stephen memory will always stay with me. He was my supervisor while working at Fiduciary for almost 2 years. Everything said about him is true and then some. He was definitely a very special person. He was by far the best person Ive worked for, he was much more the just a boss. He was down to earth, easy to talk too, always joking and always had something smart to say. I resigned a month before 9/11 and it was Steve who went with me to the Lobby, his last words to me were "Your gonna miss this place" and boy was he right. RIP Stephen, God Bless you and your family.

I'm sitting in the grass with my dog Sundance under your flag in the 9/11 memorial on Art Hill in St. Louis right now. I've never had a place to go till now that had individual tributes. It is nice to have something this specific and to be able to tell people reading names on flags about you. I've left some pictures and a note for you.

I haven't forgotten Stephen. And I never will. Life in NOLA wouldn't have been the same without his occasional visits. As much as I miss living there, he's always been part of those memories. The little I knew him, I still realized I was lucky to have had the pleasure.

Dear Mrs. Joseph,
This past weekend my husband and I participated in a motorcycle ride, only this was no ordinary ride. You see, each year we participate in America's 9/11 Foundation Motorcycle ride. This year each rider was given a name in whom we were riding in memory and in honor of. My husband and my name was a man named Stephen Joseph. It is my understanding that this man was your husband. Throughout the entire ride, from Pennsylvania to the Pentagon to Ground Zero, my husband and I were paying tribute to your husband. I can not begin to express how very sorry I am that you and your son suffered such a great loss ten years ago. As we rode in honor of your husband I prayed that God would bestow blessings and comfort and peace to you and your family. As the tenth anniversary of this horrible event approaches , I want you to know that people all over the world remember the tragedy and remember great men like your husband. I write this letter to let you know that your husband and his legacy will never be forgotten. My husband and I will forever be changed because of being given the opportunity to ride in memory of a fellow American, husband and father. May God richly bless you forever and always!
A fellow American

Hi Gillian,
God has brought you to my mind often over the past 4 years. Although I didn't know you very well, I liked you immediately when I met you. You have such a warm and generous spirit and I miss seeing you and talking to you at work (yes! I'm still there! :-) You truly touched my life just by knowing you. As I watched the special services today, I thought of you and your son and prayed for you both, as I often do. I pray for God's strength and peace to surround you and His love to fill the void in your soul. I've enjoyed reading the guest book entries and feel like I've gotten to know Stephen a bit, even though I didn't have the honor of meeting him. Please know that I miss you and still think of you and pray for you often. I hope you and Tristan are well. Cindy Greif (HR)

Words cannot express the impair that sat in my heart as I heard the stories of little Tristan sitting in front of his bay window, awaiting his father’s homecoming. I was blessed to be a sitter for Tristan who was still full of delight, despite all that he had/has endured since his father’s death. I never had the opportunity to meet Stephen, but I felt as though I knew him. Even though he is gone, he still subsists through his wife, Gillian and son, Tristan.
I met Stephen’s family because of the pause in his presence, though; I am blessed to have met such a strong woman. She has enthused and motivated me by illustrating that despite heartache, and what life my bring you one MUST persevere! She has educated me that life is just like the weather, it does not rain 365 days a year. Sometimes it is sunny, gloomy, drizzles, or even pours. Nevertheless, it NEVER rains 365 days a year.
Gillian, I hope that you read this to know that no matter what, I love you and Tristan, and although, I never articulated to you, that at your very moment, I was having mine also. I lost my brother in a similar instance. Although I cannot and pray that I will never endure the pain of losing a husband, please comprehend that, I have somewhat of a compassion and empathy towards you. I love you and Tristan, and wish that one day we would be reunited again. Until then, God Bless!
Love always,

My heart goes out to Stephen's family. I can still remember the day I introduced him to Gillian (his wife). I often blame myself for some of this pain she's going through, but then I remember, the wonderful 18 years they had, and God's wonderful gift Tristan. I often think about him and the special energy that he brought to us all. I am sure that he will continue to energize all in his heavenly journey.

my daughter was driving on the Pa. turnpike last sunday, 8-25-02, when her car broke down. she was alone untill a man in a big Ford suv pulled up and got out. his name was Michael Joseph from NYC and was Jamacian. he stayed w/her and kept her safe... if you've ever been on that road you know how dangerous it is! when the tow truck came he even covered the cost of the tow!
i've been wearing a MERCY band that bares Stephen Joseph's name on it sence january. i had prayed that God would send His angels to be with her that morning; and keep her safe. i think that this Michael Joseph is more than a concidence... God does speak to us through people, and angels! i will continue to pray for the Joseph family... especially Tristan who i know is very much loved by his Daddy. God bless Michael, i think he's an angel... maybe Stephen's guardian angel... we all know of the Archangel Michael! and we know that Stephen is with The Lord! God is good!

I purchased a mercyband with Stephen's name on it in December. I wear it everyday and think of the family that continues to grieve for their loss. I was happy to find a place, finally, that I could learn something about him and his family. It makes wearing a bracelet with his name on it that much more meaningful. I will continue to think and pray for him, and his family and for everyone who lost their lives that day.

I was very touched by the story I read about Stephen Joseph. Although I didn't know him, he seemed to be a person who loved life and tried to bring happiness to all those around him.
Being black myself, it is refreshing to read such wonderful stories about other young black men when the world seems to have a narrow-minded view of us.
I almost got a job at Fiduciary Trust after college. Had I known him, he would have left with me the same upbeat impression that he left with countless others.
I know no words I can say can erase the pain the family feels at this time. But I hope you have some solace in knowing that there are people like myself who do care about you and wish you God's grace and comfort during this most difficult time.
Virginia Aguiles
March 12, 2002
For those of us that knew Stephen, 9/11 is a day we will never forget, the very long days waiting with his wife Gillian and little boy Tristan,
his innocent face waiting by the window for "DAD" to come home to bathe him and tuck him in bed, these are moments I will never forget.
But I know that no matter where Stephen is he will always be there to help and confort his wife and child.
I will never be able to forget Stephen's happy face when his son was born, and any time he was with him, many times when I went to pick up his wife and he was getting readey to go out with Tristan.
May God and the angels give you light so that your spirit will always help your wife and son and I promise you that as long as I live I will always be there for them.
May God bless your soul.

Stephen was a prolific personality. Yes, he had the well-earned nickname of Tequila Boy in New Orleans, but he was so much more than that. He was a great person, the kind that made you feel like a better person just because you knew him.
I remember him... Stephen... T-Boy... father... husband... friend.
I think of how happy he was when his wife was pregnant. I think of him and his baby boy in their matching bumble bee halloween costumes. I think of him with a smile on his face, a drink in his hand, and too many Mardi Gras beads around his neck... and how he'd say my name with way too many "aaaaaa's."
We miss you brother.

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
