Obituary
Send FlowersLeaving a Legacy
Edward Mazzella worked on Wall Street for over 40 years, the last few as a senior vice president for equity sales at Cantor Fitzgerald. He was killed three days before his retirement date, Sept. 14.
His life's other enduring constant was family. Mr. Mazzella, 62, and his wife, Kay, were married for 40 years. Since early in their marriage, they had hosted a grand family dinner every Christmas Eve. About two dozen people always came for a spread of crabmeat sauce on pasta, shrimp scampi and cold fish salad, and plenty of fun.
"They were always very gay, very animated, wonderfully boisterous times," said Ann LoPresti, his sister-in-law.
In 1993, to everyone's surprise, Mr. Mazzella took to watercolors. Since then, he had done about 100 paintings of flowers, apples, sailboats, treehouses, even a bird cage and a top hat and cane. He framed the paintings and gave them to family members. His children, Susan and Michael have the most, 15 each. "It's almost like he had a need to leave a legacy," Ms. LoPresti said. "He didn't know, but that's how it's turned out."
Guest Book
I had the pleasure of meeting Kay today at Monroe Family Eye Care and worked on her laptop, during which she bravely mentioned her husband at Cantor in the North Tower. I shared my tale as I worked for Aon Consulting, 101st floor from the South Tower ... small world indeed.

Dearest Family,
I just came across this site and today is 9-9-09...how incredible to read so many thoughts of Ed. He left more than a legacy of paintings, he left a legacy of family, love and joy. He will always be remembered just by looking in the eyes of his grandchildren. Ed brought laughter and light into this world and his wonderful family continues that tradition. Love to all of you,

As I cross-stitched your name on the memorial that I am doing for all of the victims, I prayed for you and your family. Please know that your death was not in vain. We will always remember. God Bless.

I am a Mazzella and always felt that all Mazzella's are related..It is always sad when a Mazzella passes on...reading about the Christmas Eve dinner of fish reminded me of my father in the Bronx at the head of the table where he was King for the one day...

To the family of Edward
We think of you always and now especially as September 11 approaches. It is hard to believe that three years have passed since this enormous tragedy. I still continually wear my Mercy BAND bracelet (Bearing Another's Name Daily) with your beloved Edward's name on it and never remove it. I will always wear it. Our prayers (my husband's and mine) remain with you daily.
