Nicholas Pietrunti Obituary
Everyone seemed to know Nicholas Pietrunti, who earned the nickname, "The Mayor."
In Staten Island, in Manhattan, or anywhere in New Jersey, "there would always be someone who knew him," said his sister, Janet Ciaramello. "I'd say my maiden name and people would say, 'Oh, do you know Nicky, are you related to Nicky?' Everybody knew him."
Mr. Pietrunti, 38, lived in Belford, N.J., buying a home there after his mother died six years ago. He worked as an equities clerk at Cantor Fitzgerald, and lived alone.
John Pietrunti said the future would not have necessarily been easy for his brother, who was deaf, but that his life was starting to improve.
"That's the sad part. You don't build to a crescendo of happiness, it comes and goes, but the only thing I believe is that on Sept. 11 he was happy. He was looking forward to going to work the next day. Work didn't define him, but he felt good about where he was."

Dearest Nicky,
Yesterday was 9-11-19.
It was 18 Years since you left Us.
It feels exactly the same as if it just happened.
Its amazing just how quickly these Years have Slipped by.
I Miss your Smily Face.
I Miss when you Walked into a Room the Whole Place would Shine and Brighten up with your Presence.
I Miss Laughing with You.
I Miss Everything about You.
You have Two Boys named after You.
But i am sure you know that already.
Janets Nicky is such an Amazing Boy.
He is Funny and what a Personality he has.
He reminds me of You & Our Dad.
Your Nephew Stephens Baby Nickolas John I havent met yet but I have seen his pictures and he is the Cutest.
His Personality shines right through.
I know you are Their Angel watching over them.
We All Love ❤ You So Much.
You are Our Hero❤
Love Always with My Whole Heart & Soul

Eighteen years on, I still think of my across-the-street Belford neighbor Nick often, always there with a smiling face and friendly wave. He hears us all in heaven. Rest in peace, Nicholas!

I've never met Nicholas but I knew him well. I was the processor at the mortgage company where he received the loan for his first house. It was a long process since we couldn't communicate on the phone but I remember when we finally finalized the deal. The day after 9/11 my loan officer called to tell me you were in the Trade Center when it was hit and didn't make it. Being from Texas, I don't have the constant reminder of that day but "knowing" you through the process is a constant reminder of how we need to live life to the fullest every day! Blessings to your family today as they celebrate your life!

Growing up with you was such a Happy time in Our Lives.
Even as a Baby, you Laughed & Laughed, & Laughed!
Your handicap (Deaf) never got in the way! You always
did your BEST. People Adored you as you made them feel Happy even when they were down. You had a Talent to make people feel SPECIAL.....Feel good about themselves!
You were JOY Dear Cousin. We carry on your 'Stuffed Mushrooms' Tradition over the Holidays. We CRY, we Laugh.....but we truly MISS YOU. Now you're with Our Dad, Uncle Phil. All ANGELS of GOD! 9-11-11 marks 10 yrs. We all feel it went so FAST, but when we remember 911 and all the Horrific & Surreal sightings, it feels like just yesterday!

I miss those years back then...but now you're looking down on every one of us, even though we've all split ways. sometimes meeting up somewhere from time to time, but we always remember your positive attitude and your drive to make us succeed. miss you, god bless you coach.

My Dearest Cousin,
Seven years have gone by and still fell Shock and still feel numb.
You were an 'ANGEL' that GOD sent from Heaven the Special Day were you Born.
We know how much you Missed your Dad and Mom passing on. The only Comfort we hold is that you're with them. Our Hearts still ache...our eyes are full of Tears. Nicky you are so Missed. It hurts. I feel Vacant without your presence. Nicky that SMILE of yours was like GODs Sunshine. Your presence made everyone shine. I knew when you were a little boy and your Mother clapped her hands, dropped something that was Loud...that you couldn't hear. That day I knew changed all of our lives but yours. You still showed your Love, your Caring, you got along with Everyone. You made us all Laugh and Smile. You are GOD's Angel.
I know that you're Playing Golf and by the time I get up there you'll kick my Butt.....We Miss your Beautiful, smiling face. We Miss your Big Heart. We Miss You.

Hello Nicky, it has been more than 6 years already. I still think about you more and more each day and I miss your smiles and your jokes and the converstations that we used to have in person and on AOL IM. The holidays is usually the hardest on all of us because you are not here physcially but in spiritually. I will always love you no matter what. I know that one day I will see you up in heaven!

My dear cousin Nick, It took me awhile to trace you, only to find it was you who perished in the terrible event of 9/11 When you moved to NJ we lost touch, I remember how I kidded you about looking more like one of the Pietrunti's than your mothers side.
I remember the picnic at aunt Mary's and the cookies she baked for everyone. Wish you stayed here in RI.

Some things in life,
are rotten and just unfair,
Some people get a good run,
others just don't get their share.
Life doesn't last forever,
Sometimes it's cut way too short,
try adding up the logic,
and at times it'll come to nought.
You would do anything for anyone,
you would have given them the shirt off your back,
you were kind, generous and caring,
they were qualities that you never lacked.
And some people live their life,
and they get their three scores and ten,
but some dont get to leave their mark,
and others die lonely old men.
But you will always be remembered,
Im sorry that you were cut in your prime,
there can be no other explanation,
other than it was simply your time.
And everything for a reason,
even though it's not that clear,
but your spirit is with us,
you will always be near.
And so life must go on,
Just like it has done before,
Just know you'll always be with us,
yesterday, now and forever more

My dear buddy, Nicky...
Today is 4 years since you left this world... I will always remember your smile, laughter and lot of animated conversations we had throughout our childhood.
You are always in my thoughts and prayers and I always think of you whenever I visit Staten Island, passing the city skyline looking for the towers that aren't there. When I do that, I think of you.
Nicky, you're irreplaceable. No one will ever take your place. Ever.

Two years has went by today, I'm still missing you everyday and every time I came across the picture of Nicky, it always bring a smile to my face and I know that he's watching over us and protecting us from Heaven. As you know that I have a son, Michael who is only 4 years old and I always tells him the stories of Nicky and his jokes, his laughter, his great personality and his eyes sparkling all the time. Not a day goes by that I don't think of him and always pray for him every day and every night as well. I still miss you, Nicky and you are always part of my life and my heart. You are still everyone's angel who knows you very well! \m/ (it means I love you in sign language)
Love you always,

Nicky.. Growing up, you were one of the best cousin's that i could ever ask for. You made every holiday fun, and always made me smile. I remember all the times we would watch wrestling or play hockey on the atari in the basement of my Aunt's house down on Arnold St. If it wasn't for you i would not have been so passionate about my love for hockey, let alone the New York Rangers ... I can cleary say i do not know of a more genuine soul then you. No word's can truly express what i feel, and how much i miss you. Just know that you are forever in my heart, and in the heart's of the rest of the family and your friends. I miss you.

Today's the second anniversary of 9/11 terror attacks. I haven't forgotten you, your smile, and your charisma. We met while I attended Curtis High School and you at McKee Vocational School. You were always pleasant to be around and managed to bring laughter out of us. I also remember the fun times we had on our schools' (Curtis/McKee combined)trip to Gallaudet University. Whenever I hear or read about WTC, I think of you. I shall never forget you.

God bless the family of the late great Nicky. We shared many a laugh in high school together. Probably the most quick witted of them all. Always stopping me in the hallway to share a laugh about something or someone. Yes indeed, his smile lit up the place.Nicky will never be forgotten by me, that's for sure.
with love,

Nicholas Pietrunti's nephew is a friend of my son. Steven, I didn't know you lost your uncle until I attended the Middletown Memorial last night and saw his name. After reading these letters about your uncle, I can see that kindness and great smiles must run in your family because I see a lot of your Uncle Nick's characteristics in you. Please extend our condolences to your family. Romans 12:21 -Don't be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

I worked with Nicky at Noonan's and I will never forget his laughter and his smile. He was a person who was filled with love and cared about people. I remember walking to the ferry with Nicky after work one day and when we passed a homeless man, Nicky dug into his pocket and give him all his spare change. Nicky did not hesitate to give all he had to a stranger. Nicky always hugged and kissed us everyday and not a day went by without Nicky telling us "I love you." He will always be very special to me.
May Nicky rest in peace and may his family be comforted in knowing how very special Nicky was to everyone. God Bless Nicky and his family.

I just learned today, 8/15/02, that Nick Pietrunti had passed away on 9/11. Until now, I had considered myself lucky to had known no one who was lost on that day. I will always remember Nick smiling, always having a good attitude in life. I worked at NAP in the early 80s, while going to Pace University for my degree. I had the unique pleasure of working with both him and his father. I hope that both rest in peace ! You both will be sorely missed !
God bless !

I remember Nicky growing up on Arnold Street he would always come out and he would hang out with the kids in the neighborhood in which me and my brother Donald were two of them. When i saw his name and picture in the paper my heart went out to him and his family. Heaven has truly received another angel.

I was very sad to hear the Nicky was at the WTC on September 11.

Nicky may you rest in peace!

I was upset when Nicky was killed at the WTC on September 11, 2001. I always consider him as my good friend and confidant. He always brought me smiles, laughter, love and he really loved Life itself no matter if you are deaf or not, he's always there if you needed him. I know that he's not in pain anymore He's up there smiling down on us and watching out for us no matter where we go. He's our guardian angel now ^j^. I will always love you and I will always miss you. I know that some day, I will see you up there.
Love always and forever,
Sue

I was very upset to learn that Nicky Pietrunti was in the WTC on 9-11-2001. He was and will always be considered a friend. It feels like yesterday that we were at MSG, cheering as our Rangers beat the Devils 2-1 in double OT. I will never forget that night or my friend Nicky P. May God Bless all who knew him, and loved him.

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-

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