Lunch and a Phone Call

For the 14 years that he was a maintenance worker at Aon, Anthony Luparello called his wife, Geraldine, every day at 1:45 p.m., the end of his lunch break. "Just to let me know what's going on," Mrs. Luparello said. " `What are we getting for dinner? What did you do? Who did you hear from?' "

And when the evening buses got him home to Corona, Queens, later than usual, he would be very upset. "He felt it was his time home to be with me, and he shouldn't be sitting on a stupid bus," she said. "I would tell him, `What's the matter that you are home late? You came home safe.' "

Mr. Luparello, 62, was equally serious about his work. Every morning, he got up at 3:30 to start work at 6 a.m. "He'd rather be half an hour early than be stuck in traffic," his wife said. "He would never take a day off. Headache, flu, cold, you name it. He went to work.

"I would ask him, `Tony, is the tower going to fall without you?' It was just a joke. But you know, it came down with him."

I knew this wonderful man as a child. He and his family lived on the same block as us. I remember he always had a smile that would light up a room. He was a generous man and he loved his family beyond words. It’s been 20 years however is feels like 20 minutes. It was an honor to have grown up with him in our lives. May he continue to Rest In Peace and Tony..please continue to watch over your family. You would be so proud of the legacy that you left behind. Say “hello” to Laura Dean.

I remember the day of Joe and Maria's wedding. He was so nervous. He just wanted the day to be perfect for his daughter. He didn't want to be the one to do anything wrong. It was so cute. Btw, as most know everything was just perfect.

Even on the 20th anniversary of the 09/11 terrorist attacks. I must say, this doesn’t get any better to live and deal with just easier. You will always be missed grandpa. May you rest peacefully always. You will never ever be forgotten. I love and miss you so so so much! More than words can even explain. You will always live on and have a place in my heart. Continue to watch over us. My angel forever. Much love. Your granddaughter, Kristen XO
