Man of Many Enthusiasms
When Joseph Roberto first met his wife, Janet, he offered her a ride on his motorcycle, a Suzuki Intruder. She hopped on. Three years later, in May 1998, they married.

Mr. Roberto, who was a bank analyst at Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, was a man of many enthusiasms. He and his wife attended coin conventions. He loved motorcycles; the couple rode his Yamaha Royal Star to Virginia and West Virginia to see battlefields. He also loved wildlife, and they took their son, Joseph, who is now 17 months old, on three trips to the Bronx Zoo this summer. "We still hadn't finished the whole park," Mrs. Roberto said. "He had to read every single sign."

Each year, Mr. Roberto, 37, helped his parents put up their Christmas decorations, and he had begun to accumulate his own. The latest holiday acquisitions were two flag-waving Uncle Sams for Memorial Day, Flag Day and the Fourth of July — three- foot figures that lighted up at night. Mrs. Roberto pulled them out again after Sept. 11.

Friends from their motorcycle club, Lost Wheels, are helping Mrs. Roberto, who is pregnant, with the Christmas decorations.

Not sure what to say?

I will forever remember his name. He was one of our analysts back in the day at Old Kent in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I would assist with setting up meetings when he would come into town. Always nice and pleasant to work with.

My deepest condolences to the Roberto family. I met Joe a few weeks before 9-11. He visited the law firm I was working at in lower Manhattan as part of a bank review and audit. At the time I was a young corporate paralegal and I was assigned the task of assisting in the document reproductions, food deliveries, as well as car service for him and others. Joe was a great guy and we talked sports - mostly hockey - during breaks. I did not know that he and his team had perished in 9/11 until a...

We send our deep sympathy to your family. May God continue to give the help needed. Joe touched the lives of others and is still sadly missed and will always be remembered.

Joe,

The time has passed but the pain hasn't and never will. It is 9/11 2018 and my heart still breaks for you and your family.

You are a good friend who loved to ride and one who enjoyed a cold brew. Tonight when I get home I will light a candle and raise a brew in remembrance. God Bless you always Joe

My Dear Friend,
Ive ridden a 9/11 Memorial run ever since you left us. I wrote a poem about the run I want to share with you

Each year we gather for this 9/11 memorial ride
Still feeling the pain and with hearts full of pride
We come by the thousands and its as good as it gets.
We ride in remembrance so that no one forgets.
The flags that are flying are both large and small, they fly for the fallen they fly for us all.
They treat us like rock stars and smile as we...
