Obituary
Send FlowersTale of Two Pictures
At a friend's housewarming back in 1993, Cecilia Lillo paged through a wedding album and spotted a familiar face in the group pictures. Years earlier, back in high school, Carlos Lillo had been a gymnast and a baseball player, the handsome older boy who dated a girl in her homeroom.
Now he was a paramedic in Queens and she was working for the Port Authority at the World Trade Center. They resisted being set up, until a party on New Year's Eve of 1997. They talked in a cafe until 7 the next morning. They bought a house together in Babylon in 1999. She finished her degree at Baruch. He worked extra shifts on private ambulances to save for a new fence and a pool. In April, they married. She is 35; he was 37. Even after being together four years, he had kept her e-mail valentines.
"He was very romantic. We had our candlelight dinners at home, we used to act silly," Ms. Lillo said. "He wanted us to go to Disney World. I said, 'Let's wait until we have kids.' " They had an appointment with a fertility doctor for this week.
On the morning of Sept. 11, Ms. Lillo escaped from her office in 1 World Trade Center, just as the building collapsed. "Then I saw an article in Newsweek, and his picture was there," she said. "He was helping someone."
Guest Book
Growing up around the Lillo family, I was blessed to hear the stories about Carlos. I always feel a connection with the events of 9/11 because of him. They told me the beautiful story of Cecilia and Carlos. Touched my heart. Come to find out, my parents told me he held me when i was a baby. So thank you. Because it may not be my memory but it´s yours and my parents´. I will always honor you on 9/11. Because i know you´re watching and protecting the people that i came to love. Your family. God...

I learned about your sacrifices today and your selfless personality. Thank you so much for your service, and my sympathies to your family and loved ones who lost a great man far too soon.

I met Carlos at Astoria General Hospital when he was a volunteer paramedic and I worked part-time in TV rental. He was such a sweet guy with an amazing smile. We became good friends. When I graduated college and left that job we lost touch but I always remember my dear friend. I still can't believe he is gone. But he died doing what he loved. He was always very passionate about being and EMT and helping people. I miss you Carlos and keep you dear in my heart. You re a true hero and I am proud...
