Anthony Rodriguez Obituary
Anthony Rodriguez was a probie and he loved it.
"There wasn't a day he didn't come in through the door without saying `I have the best job in the world,' " said his mother, Brunilda Rodriguez.
At 36, Mr. Rodriguez was one of the oldest probies, or probationary firefighters, in his class at the Fire Academy. He had already spent a full decade in the Navy as a radioman first class, and several years on top of that as an elevator mechanic and independent contractor.
Becoming a fireman was a dream realized, an exciting way to help people and provide a steady income to support his wife, Evelyn, and their growing family, which included children from a previous marriage, a 3-year-old son and a baby due in mid-September.
In the months before his formal graduation, Mr. Rodriguez was assigned to Engine Company 279 in Brooklyn. He was on his way home to Staten Island when the first plane struck the trade center. He called to tell everyone not to worry. When the second building was hit, he called again and said he was going back. "That's what he enjoyed doing," his mother said. "That made Anthony happy."
Mr. Rodriguez's daughter, Morgan Antoinette, was born on Sept. 14, while the search for her father was still going on.
At graduation ceremonies on Nov. 1, Mr. Rodriguez was posthumously made a firefighter. Firefighter Rodriguez's empty chair was one of six draped in mourning bunting that day.

What a terrific person! Served with Tony in Ceiba, Puerto Rico in the 80s. He was a great Radioman and we could count on him to deliver laughs to keep us on our toes and awake. I think of him often and stroll down Memory Lane. To his family, Tony will never be forgotten.

I am remembering 9-11 and the true navy friend I have lost on that day. Anthony is missed and your life will always be a legacy to all who knew you. Eileen was one of my dearest friends and shared about your fate that day. I did not want to believe it at the time and has taking me 15 years to acknowledge your bravery. Now I know that your legacy will live on through your family and friends. My prayers for the family that they are encouraged that the Lord loves them and understands.

Tony, it has taken me 13 years to get the courage to sign this book. Ever since I found out you lost your life on the most tragic day in America, let alone in our home--NYC, it's been a struggle for me to write anything.
Tony and I were stationed together in the Navy at Roosevelt Roads, PR (1984-1986) in the Fleet Center. We were all good friends there, Guty, Tony, Sanjurjo, Cheryl, Vanessa, Marcos, Eddie Torres, and many others. In addition, Tony and I lived in the same towers in Fajardo. He constantly came into the Fleet Center laughing, joking, and smiling. "El colorao" as we all affectionately called him in spanish.
I have been saddened by your death and keep you in my prayers daily. I also pray for your children and family that they may continue to find peace and know that you will all meet again at a better place.
God Bless You and I know you are an "angel" among us all! Love from one veteran sailor to another, NYC natives, and friend!

OK, eleven years late, I'm a little late. I worked with you a short time but great time at Millar. When you got the call for the FDNY, I can remember, you said "this is my dream", when asked why you would leave such a great job..Well, we ALL owe you a great deal.. You were a bright spot in our daily workday, and you ultimately gave yourself for us..I haven't forgotten you, brother...RIP

Dear Mr. Rodriguez:
I define a hero as a one who puts the needs of others ahead of their own. I would like to say thank you for being a hero on September 11, 2001. If our country did not have people like you we would not be here today. You risked your life on that day by going into the Twin Towers and helping to get people to safety before yourself. When the Twin Towers were attacked I was four years old and thought nothing of it. Now I understand how important it actually is today.
My words cannot express how thankful I am and I would like to give this day to you and your fellow firefighters. Your wife and children I know are very proud of what you did on September 11, 2001. As a firefighter and a dad you deserve to be thanked.
Though you had no way of knowing what would have happened that day, it took a lot of heroism to save other people first. We will always remember you and the other fire fighters and policemen that passed away on September 11, 2001.
Thank you for your years of service,
Sincerely,
Hannah Witschger

I had the honor of serving in the Navy in Conneticut with Anthony. I can't beleive that it has been 7 years. Anthony had a great serving spirit about him. He was a great competitor. You name the sport, he was great at it and you always wanted him on your team. Its only fitting that Anthony would end up in NY, the city he loved. Serving and being apart of a close knit team. To his family I offer these words and to thank you for sharing Tony with us. I prayed for you today that God would comfort you and those with whom Tony worked.

Anthony
Its five years to the day since you left us and I still cant believe you’re gone. I remember that day so vividly. When that second plane hit the towers that day we all knew we were under attack. When my office building ordered everyone out that day I could only think about my family and how I was going to get home. You on the other hand were heading home but turned around and went back to your fire house because that’s the kind of person you are. You were ALWAYS there to help out. Oh how I wish you would’ve kept going home or were on vacation somewhere far away so you could’ve been here today. When I finally made it to Staten Island I went straight to Yvonne’s job because I couldn’t get any service on my cell phone and I wanted her to know I was o.k. When I got to her job that’s when she told me that you might be at the trade center. I didn’t think you were because I knew you got off work early that morning. I should’ve known better. I should’ve known that no matter where you were you would’ve tried to get there to help out. Everyone tried to reach you on your cell phone but got no answer. All of the family was at your house that day to be there with Evelyn and Derek. We were hoping you would just call to say that you were alright or even better, walk through the front door. Night came and still no word on where you were or if you were o.k. That night we all slept at your house. It was packed. Yvonne and I slept on your dining room floor right underneath the dining room table. Morning came and still no word. There were so many bad rumors going around about what happened down there. We didn’t know what to believe. We were desperate to hear from you. We miss you so much. We had so many good times together. The trip to Cancun. The camping trips and the house parties. You always made me laugh. I could go on all day writing about you but the tears that flow as I write this won’t let me. You were my best friend. I love you, I miss you and may god bless you.
Till we meet again.

Tony's wife Evelyn is my first cousin so I had alot of time to get to know Tony. Especially when he and Evelyn moved back to our home town when their son Derrick was born. Tony was always quick with a smile and a joke. He was dearly loved. The last memory of Tony that really sticks with me is at my grandma's house in VA. We were having a family cookout and Tony was in the yard playing football with all the boys in the family. I have a video tape of Evelyn, then pregnant with Morgan, holding my little girl and Tony rubbing her stomach talking to his little one. It still touches my heart. Morgan and Derrick were here just last week visiting and playing with my daughter. I want all of his family to know that we have never forgotten Tony and we all love him very much. He was an exceptional husband, father, and friend. If you ask my 6 year old who a hero is she will tell you "Tony".

I worked with Tony "El colorao" in Roosevelt Roads and remember that he was always smiling. Never knew him to be upset at anything or anyone. Hard worker and great friend. I know that he is missed by many.

I went to Susan Wagner High School with Anthony. I had the pleasure of being on the high school wrestling team with him. He was the smallest, lightest but toughest guy on the team. Every now and then I look at page 66 in my 1981 year book and there is a picture of him on Danny Rivera's shoulders along with myself and Steven Antico. I did not get to see him much after high school but I was deeply saddened when I heard of this tragedy. My heart goes out to him all of his family.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

I had the great pleasure of knowing Anthony and his family while he was growing up and watching him go from a young child to an adult, getting married, having his first child to now this. I was married to his Aunt Cookie's husband's cousin (Elliot Alfaro). On that sad day of 9/11/01, I was walking into my ofice, when my boss tells me something happened in New York that's when I saw the second plane hit the tower. My co-workers and I immediately formed a circle and prayed for everyone involved. I said a silent prayer "Dear God, please do not let anyone I know/love be in those towers, bless them all" I found out that two of my cousins where there. Thank God they were still alive. However when I called my friends in Staten Island and heard about Anthony, my heart broke in two for his mother, Bebe and the rest of the family. Bebe I want you to know that I have prayed for your peace and that of your family. The many times we shared playing LOTTO with the family. My trips to Staten Island from Brigeport, Ct. Watching all of our children grow up. My heart goes out to you. May the Lord have mercy on the people responsible for such a horrific act. Your son will live forever in our hearts. He's gone but never forgotten.
All my love,

I didn't know Anthony, but I heard about him in the Feb. 2002 issue of People magazine when his wife was interviewed for an article about "September 11th Babies" who lost their fathers before they were born. I was so touched by his story and by his life and work as a father and a firefighter. He will truly be remembered as a hero in my and many Americans' hearts. God bless you Anthony, and your family who lives on as your legacy.

I did not know Tony personnally, but I know his wife's family (mother,aunts,cousins) in a small community in Virginia where we grew up. Our church made us aware of the loss and our prayers and hearts go out to Evelyn,his children, and all family members, as well as all the families who suffered losses. Our community is proud of the heroism of Tony.

Rodriguez Family,
I would like to say my thoughts and prayers are with you. I did not have the HONOR of meeting Anthony personaly but I did purchase a Mercy Band engraved with Anthony's name in his memory. I didn't know why at the time when I choose his name out of the thousands of names but for some reason his name shined bright to me. I then read up on this wonderful man and now I know why his name was so bright and why God helped me chose his name. Now, Anthony has touched a total strangers heart thousands of miles away. I will always remember him for the sacrafice he made by turning back to go to the towers. Anthony and family you will always be remembered and in my prayers.

Tomorrow will mark the one-year anniversary of Sept. 11. I am still not sure how it would affect me; let alone how it will affect your family. As the day inches so ever close I feel myself breaking down more and more. I felt that Sept. 11, 2001, should have never have happened. Anthony believed in his Family, and in his Country, as do I, but in a way I feel that our country let us down by allowing this to happen. All I can say is that through the years your family was always there for me. I truly appreciate it.
Desiree always said wonderful things about Anthony. She truly adored him with all of her heart and soul. I will never forget the day that she told me that her brother was missing. I felt my heart drop to the floor. I only met Anthony twice in my life, but in more ways then one I felt the warmth and love that he gave to all people that cross his path. Anthony God bless you and your family.

As I sit here April 2002 onboard USS GEORGE WASHINGTON CVN-73 in the middle of workup operations I reflect back on my friendship with Tony Rodriguez. How do I begin is the question? I am still in the Navy which is obvious. I had the pleasure of meeting Tony back in 1983. He came to NAVCOMMSTA, ROOSEVELT ROADS, Puerto Rico and was assigned to work in Fleet Relay were we befriended each other. We shared a common background being we were spanish and from New York (Tony from Staten Island, me from the Bronx).
Memories go back to the gang of the COMMSTA which was Tony, Augusto Torres, Barbara Roman, Manual Roman, Donna Diaz, Sheryl Holman, Tijuana, and of course myself. Yes, there were others he was close to because of his infectious personality, but my memories always go back to the group mentioned. Out of the close to 20 years I have served in the Navy, the times spent with that group of friends were the best times of my career. Where does time go? I still remember when I first met him and the rarity of seeing a red headed Puerto Rican (hence the nick name that was given to him “Colorao” (Red).
The last time I saw Tony was in 1989 while he was stationed in Groton, Connecticut. I had just gotten back from a 10 month deployment visiting family in New York and took the trip to Groton to catch up on old times. In the passing years I somehow managed to get his phone number while he was living in North Carolina and spoke to him in 1994 or 95 if my memory serves me right. I lost contact with him at that point. Still, I would run into people from that circle of friends in Puerto Rico who would fill me in on what he was doing.
Ironically, the tragedy of September 11, 2001 had the USS GEORGE WASHINGTON doing local operations. Within a matter of hours we were diverted to New York City to provide Air Defense. My feelings were mixed upon arrival on station because of the great tragedy. Seeing the smoke still rising from where the Twin Towers once stood did not seem like it was real. The other half of me was so proud to be a part of this mission providing protection to the very city I was born and raised in. Little did I know I had lost a shipmate in that tragedy.
I found out of Tony’s death through a very good friend , Augusto Torres (Senior Chief Information Systems Technician, Staff Communicator for COMMANDER DESTROYER GROUP TWO). Numb was the only way I could explain how I felt. A part of me did not believe this happened to someone I knew. Amazingly, that same group of friends from Puerto Rico established communications amongst each other to share the sorrow of loosing a good friend and shipmate.
Tony “El Colorao” – You were the friend who always had that big smile and one of the biggest hearts I have ever seen. If someone needed help, you were there to lend that helping hand or go just hear one out.
Augusto Torres and myself are serving onboard USS GEORGE WASHINGTON and not two days go by without Tony coming up in our conversations. Those times in Puerto Rico were the best of the times!
“Colorao” - Our love and friendship remains with you. We all miss you!

I had the pleasure of being stationed with Tony at NAVCOMMSTA Roosevelt Roads Puerto Rico. We made rank together, he was my neighbor in Ceiba, I remember his daughter Lauren being born, he was a jokster, and was always laughing about something. We used to call him Archie because he had bright red hair - Tony was always the first one to help with anything. I ran into him about a year ago buying lunch. I hadn't seen him since '87. We laughed and talked about getting the gang together for old times. Not a day goes by that I don't think about Tony. I'm glad I have a memory of him laughing. He's more than a Hero. He was simply the BEST!!!!!!!!!!

Familia Rodriguez,
It is my prayer God replace your sorrow with the joy of having had Anthony in your lives. Memories are more precious than any material inheritence.
As a Firefighter myself, we know that our lives are borrowed. We do what we do because it has to be done and we feel that we can do it right. We understand and accept the risks involved.
Everything Anthony did for himself died with him. Everything he did for others will live forever and is his legacy.
Please focus on your memories of Anthony. Thank God for sharing him with you. I thank God for sharing him with us.
