Send FlowersIn Awe of 'Nicky Love'
He loved karate and he was good at it. His karate teacher, Dr. Gene Isola, speaks in awe about one of Nicholas Rossomando's feats: he put a six- inch pile of wood on two cinder blocks and then smashed the pile with his fist. "He hit it so hard that he also broke the cinder blocks on one side," Dr. Isola said. "We have it on film. The guy was built like a steel tank."
That feat, Dr. Isola said, exemplified the gusto that was Nicholas Rossomando. He loved working as a firefighter. He loved to cook ‹ for his girlfriend, for his parents, for his buddies at Rescue Company 5. He loved carpentry; as a volunteer he built 80 percent of the interior of the karate school.
"He had an overwhelming enthusiasm about life, not just 100 percent, but 1,000 percent," Dr. Isola said. "From the way he smiled and hugged you, to the way he made a meal, to the way he did martial arts, it was done with enthusiasm and passion. There was no halfway with Nicky."
"At the karate school," Dr. Isola continued, "everyone had nicknames. There was Crazy Eye Joe, Jazzy Jeff, but Nicky's nickname was Nicky Love."
Guest Book
I saw this beautiful man on a 9/11 Memorial documentary today. His name was rightfully singled out by a firefighter who knew, worked with, and loved him. After learning more about this hero today, I can certainly understand the love, loyalty, and joy he inspired in others. Thank you for your sacrifices, young man. How loved you were, and are, still. My thoughts are with all your family, and loved ones today. The world remembers, I promise.

I purchased the memberance bracelet for Nicholas in 2012. In myself was a firefighter locally at the time. My heart was and still is filled with sorrow but also pride for him and his family. I live in WV and every year on 9-11 I still wear the bracelet. It stays in my purse woth me at all times. I did not know him personally but respect and honor him and all those who lost their lives that day.
