Hicksville, New York
New Home and First Baby
Everything was going just right for Brian Terrenzi. Last February, he started a new job as a global network manager in the treasurer's office of Cantor Fitzgerald. Last April, he and his wife, Jane, bought their first home, in Hicksville, N.Y., and found out that she was going to have their first baby.
And last July, the couple learned it would be a girl. "There's no girls in the Terrenzi family," said Mrs. Terrenzi, 28, who is eight months' pregnant. "He was just so excited. He would have made the best father."
Mr. Terrenzi, 28, an avid skier and sportsman, used to call his wife five times during the day from his office on the 101st floor of 1 World Trade Center to check up on her. Now, she says, "the phone doesn't ring."
Mrs. Terrenzi, a kindergarten teacher, said she would name her daughter Elizabeth, after her husband's mother, as he had wanted. But Elizabeth will also have a middle name, Brian, after her own father.
Always thinking of you and your family Brian. It´ still so difficult to realize that you are no longer with us. 24 years feels so long ago ago, yet the heart ache is still so fresh. We will Never Forget you!

Brian was a year ahead of me in school (elementary through high school) and we played football and baseball on the same teams or in the same leagues for many years. He and I weren´t friends, per se, but he was friendly with everyone no matter what label you were. Still is surreal 23 years later. The grief never subsides and I know I am in a long line of folks who miss and remember him.

On this day, once again I pay tribute to Brian Terrenzi and a life cut short. I was fortunate to call him a colleague and friend during our time at Citibank together.

Jane & Elizabeth, I know you don't know me but I know you. I am Thomas Papallo's daughter Lisa. He had told me about how my aunt Gloria was so broken up about Brian. And I was very close to Gloria. I had met him( Brian) once a very long time ago. I think of you often even though you do not know me but I know you both with out meeting you both. My heart and soul goes to you and your family I know he was a good man.

I sat next to Brian for a few years while working together at Citibank. I still remember he had a great mix of good work ethic and fun-loving attitude. It has been 20 years since that tragic day when we lost a good man. I hope that I can help in some small way keeping him and his family in my thoughts.
