From Tollbooths to Towers
Joseph Amatuccio was hired by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey as a toll collector right out of high school. For some people, that might be a dead-end job. For him it was only a beginning. Over the years, Mr. Amatuccio, 41, moved from toll collecting to carpentry and from there to management. He used the agency's education plan to get an undergraduate degree in business management, taking classes at night, and was 18 months from a master's degree at Baruch College.
As a manager of operations and maintenance at the World Trade Center, he was on the phone every weekend from his home in Ozone Park, Queens, making sure that things were being done right, that subordinates were treating his beloved towers just so. "I'd argue with him, `What do you think, you're going to own those buildings?' " said his wife, Debra.
Mr. Amatuccio was seen on the street outside the twin towers at one point on the morning of Sept. 11. Someone yelled, "Let's run!" Ms. Amatuccio was later told. He ran back in.
May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

On the 20th anniversary, yet seems like yesterday. I never met you but I know your daughter. I pray you are resting in peace and watching over your beautiful family

Dear Joseph,
Yesterday was a particularly hard day. 20 years have come and gone and it doesn't seem real. I miss you more every day but my heart hurts with the knowledge that you're not here. Love you and miss you.

Our heartfelt sympathy we send to your family. Always may God and your loving memories be of some help day by day. There will never be any words that will remove your pain of loss but please remember that others still do care. Joseph is sadly missed and will always be remembered with love and appreciation.
