Devout and Helpful
Arcangel Vazquez usually stayed for three Masses every Sunday at St. Barbara's Roman Catholic Church in Brooklyn. He had attended the church since he was young, and at 47 he was an active member: an usher, a catechist, a leader of the men's program.
"He could never say no," said his friend Diane Munez, the secretary of St. Barbara's. "He always wanted to be in the middle of everything."
Mr. Vazquez, who had a 21-year-old daughter and grandchildren, worked in maintenance on the upper floors of 2 World Trade Center. He was last seen helping people leave the 96th and 97th floors.
At his church, where co-workers noted the aptness of his first name, no one expected otherwise. "That was like him," Ms. Munez said, calling him "a comforting friend for everybody."
"Always listening," she said of him. "He always had this smile on his face. The most beautiful teeth."

My Beloved Brother Arcangel
Today marks 22 years that you left us to go to Heaven ( Respectfully, I wish God would have pick a more softer or better way to call you, but I guess when I get to Heaven maybe (He) God will be able to explain why he pick this manor !! ) You are still missed. Today you would have been 69 years old, retired and living a simple life in Aguadilla PR but instead you are buried there with the rest of the family and Resting In Peace in La Isla De Encanto. God bless...

Rest in peace. I never met you in life, but perhaps in God's kingdom I will. Until then, I will pray for the family you left behind.
