Brothers at Work and Play By day, Vincent and Andrew Abate traded bonds at Cantor Fitzgerald. In the evenings, after long days, the brothers unwound by shooting hoops or batting handballs together. On summer weekends, Andrew and his wife, Carolyn, often drove to Vincent's rented house on the Jersey Shore for Vincent's barbecue or Andrew's grilled teriyaki.

Vincent, 44, a longtime Cantor Fitzgerald employee, brought Andrew, 37, into the company three years ago. Vincent lived alone in a brownstone in Brooklyn. Hard-driving and impulsive, he was known to hop a plane to Las Vegas for the weekend, on the spur of the moment.

Andrew and Carolyn had a house in Melville, N.Y., that they were enlarging and renovating. They liked to relax in scenic places and had just returned from a tour of Route 1 on the California coast. "They did a lot of things," said Joe Vito, a cousin. "They had good lives."

In 1972, at St Frances Cabrini, I was one of Vincent's little league baseball coaches. He was our catcher (and a good one) and he could hit too! He loved playing as he always flashed that great smile of his.
After the fateful day, when I first read about him and his brother passing, I was so sad for them and the family. I think of Vinny and the other victims often as well as speak about him. As long as I live, he will not be forgotten.
