Joseph Lostrangio

Thinking of my brother as another anniversary approaches. Still grieving the loss of years together, we lost the opportunity to grow older together. Wish you were still here, miss having my big brother but holding the memory of your quick mind, your ready smile and laugh and your tender heart for family. Holding you in my heart, Joe.

20 years later...Joe, you will never be forgotten...

Only recently did I find out through the Bishop Reilly High School Class of 71 Facebook group that I knew someone in that tragedy. Joe and I were in several classes, and for a short time on the Debate Club team. I remember Joe for his zest for life and his humor, both good and poor.

Joe could get us to smile and he cared for people around him. Even when others would dump on my being a geek, Joe would try to change their focus, he respected people.

I have my own special connection to 9-11. That morning I attended Mass in Colorado Springs with Joe Boardman who was the Commissioner of Transportation for the State of New York. As Joe and I left St. Mary's Church about 7am Mountain Time, he commented to me that his pager kept going off during the service, and he was wondering why. Until we walled into the lobby of the Antlers where dozens were watching a big screen TV, as the second plane hit the Towers. Joe turned toward me, white as a sheet, and simply said, "Now I know why my pager was going off!" Boardman and his two top Deputies then took off driving non-stop back to New York to take charge of the Transportation implications.

Now I have another connection......

Joseph,,, today 9/11/21 ~ 20 years later we remember you specifically by joining Tunnels to Tower Organization with a forever monthly donation to this cause. We will also always remember you and your joy within our antique shoppe as you found yet more unique cufflinks for your collection ! Thinking of you always ~ Barbara's Unique Antique Boutique Jamesburg NJ

Joe, you were NOT FORGOTTEN on this 9/11...

Dear Joe, on this 9/11, in the pandemic, we continue to miss you, we will never forget. Time has passed in so many different way. He would have met this pandemic challenge the way did all challenges-joke about, have a glass of wine, check the many salt water tanks in our home and together we would meet the challenges. Love T

Joe, I worked with you for some years in Philadelphia. I'll never forget your humor, your kindness (the time you drove me from Philly to Brooklyn and insisted in staying at the station till the subway arrived. We lost touch after that - I moved to New England - and I only learned some years after the towers fell that you had lost your life that day. I am so sorry for all your family and all you friends and coworkers. But we'll meet again, I know.

We'll never forget. Today...last week...never!

18yrs have passed Joe, We Will never Forget!

We will never forget

We'll NEVER FORGET!

To All Who Remember Joe, Thank you from my family.
We think of him daily and speak to him often.

You have been in my thoughts over the years, I continue to pray for you and you family. Thank you for everything your husband gave so that this country can remain free. you are the heroes that this country is built. I thank you and your family and especially your husband for his ultimate sacrifice, his life

To Theresann & kids - I think of Joe & you & your family every time I hear 9/11. You're always in my prayers. Love,

Joe was a wonderful cousin We miss him dearly.

I knew Joe back when we both worked for IRISC in Jamesburg, NJ. He was the best boss I ever had. So easy going. Every time he went to Australia he always brought back chocolate or some silly little thing. He was so proud of his family. He talked about them alot. He always walked around the office smiling. The world lost a great guy.

Joe, that bottle of Bermuda hot rum sauce that you brought back from a business trip is still sitting in my kitchen. I use it only on special occasions, because a special coworker gave it to me. Believe it or not, that stuff is still HOT !! I will always remember you.....

In memory....

As I stitched your name on the memorial that I am doing for all of the victims, I prayed for you and your family. Please know that your death was not in vain. We will always remember. God Bless.

I'm a better man because of Joe. I think of him always. He was a true friend.



Sunny days, sweeping the clouds away,

On our way to where the air is free,

Can you you tell me how to get,

How to get to......

I had the pleasure of working with Joe when he was at an AIG office in Marlton NJ back in the 80's. We spoke at great length about saltwater fish and just about everything I know about them came from Joe. I miss you pal.

Thank You All for your thoughts and words of comfort. We miss Joe very much and we are trying to go on as he would wish. He was a good man and enjoyed life. Thank you All.

Theresann and children.

May God Bless you and keep you always.

Joe's office was directly across from mine on the 79th floor of WTC. He only moved in a few weeks before that day but seemed like a really nice guy. I wish I had more time to know him. God bless him.

Joe- We MISS you- I hope we can follow your gourmet recipes to cook these fish! God Bless us All.

Diane,

I had the pleasure of working with Joe at AIG and only recently learned of his demise. My nephew, David Lemagne, a Port Authority Police Officer, was also a victim of this tragedy. Our prayers and thoughts are with you. God Bless you all.

America Cries

We see your sorrow-

and our hearts cry....

We can not erase your pain

but you do not have to face the anguish alone-for we-

-the American people-

are beside you.

We so desperately want to have the touch that brings you comfort,

the strength that gives you courage,

and the words to lighten your spirits.

And when we are left speechless

may the silence of our nation weave love into your hearts

to ease your sorrow.

May you find healing through our nation's strength as we-

-the American people-

face this difficult time together. Our hearts are with you. Teresa Jahn

Dear Diane and family,

I send my deepest regrets and prayers for you and your family.
