An Easygoing Best Friend
Martin Lizzul wanted to be everyone's best friend. You could not force a nasty word out of him. "He was so easygoing," said his sister, Susan Lauria. "He never said a bad word about anyone. Even if he didn't like someone, he wouldn't say a bad word."

Mr. Lizzul, 31, was an account executive for Kestrel Technology, a software company, and for months he had been spending the mornings ‹ usually from 7:30 to 11 ‹ at Cantor Fitzgerald, a client that was using Kestrel products.

He had married Jean Lucido in June. His parents lived in Dix Hills, on Long Island. It wasn't often that either of his parents made it into Manhattan, where he lived. But on the Wednesday before the attack, his mother came into the city, and they had dinner with other friends and relatives. He walked his mother to her car. He walked off. For some reason, they both turned around toward each other at the same time. They looked into each others' eyes and said, "I love you."

It was his practice to call his parents every Wednesday to see how they were. For some reason, he called on the following Monday, Sept. 10.

Not sure what to say?

Lighting a candle for you and all who loved you, Martin. Never forgotten.

Much Love to All who lost love ones on 9 /11. We will always pay respects and remember this day.

We always remember you on Sept 11th, and will do an act of random kindness in your memory. Not forgotten! Even by strangers.

Kindness, Laughter and Smiles... Marty knew this at an early age.... That is how I will always remember him... Thoughts and Prayers always...

I didn’t really know Martin well other than my dear friend Susan’s handsome younger brother. But everything I have been told makes me feel like I knew him and wish that I really did. He was a special soul who is dearly missed by his loved ones. It is painful to witness a such a loss of life at such a young age with so much yet to experience. He will be forever young, forever missed, forever loved, forever remembered.

I did not have the honor of knowing Martin well, but I am, still today, dear friends with his family. I have not known a more loving and caring group of people then the Lizzul and Lauria families. This time of year I grieve with them and all of those who lost someone near and dear to them. May God bless them all.

Martin, 20 years ago seems like yesterday. Speaking of you in the past tense doesn't feel right - never has, never will. You are remembered, admired, respected, and most of all, loved. Then, now and forever...

Julia, Susan, Dana and the entire Lizzul family, there are no words to express the sorrow or to fill the hole in each of your hearts. All we can say is, we. will. never. forget.

-Adam on behalf of the Duke family

It was a privilege to know Martin! He set a great example for others. Accept everyone & do not say negative things about others. He knew then, what the world needs more of today! The world is a better place because Martin Lizzul was part of it!! He will ALWAYS remain in my heart.

We miss you always, Martin. We see you in your mother’s and sister’s faces and your kind and gentle spirit in your nephew’s hearts. And you’re alive in our thoughts; live in our hearts and are spoken of amongst us, with your family and friends. Rest peacefully until we meet again. The Cavanaghs.
