A Meticulous Dresser
Joseph D. Maio had a bit of a competitive streak. His wife, Sharri, remembers playing Monopoly with him one Christmas: he was hoarding real estate, so she cashed in and quit in disgust. When she sat near him at the blackjack table in Las Vegas, covering her eyes, he suggested she move away rather than bring him bad luck.

Mr. Maio was tall, hazel-eyed and a meticulous dresser. In his mid-20's, he headed a desk for Cantor Fitzgerald in Tokyo; by his early 30's, he had started a lucrative new desk for Cantor in New York. He was fair- minded, Mrs. Maio said. Friends sought his advice. And he never complained about anything ‹ except his dry cleaning.

But there was another side to Mr. Maio, who was 32. When the Maios' not-yet-house- trained puppy came down with a cold, Mr. Maio slept on the kitchen floor in his pajamas rather than let the dog sleep alone. When his son, Devon, was born 16 months ago, Mr. Maio wept with joy. He would take baths with Devon until his hands were wrinkly. "He was just a beautiful man, inside and out," Mrs. Maio said.
