Vishnoo Ramsaroop Obituary
When Vishnoo Ramsaroop moved from Trinidad to New York 17 years ago, he roamed excitedly around Manhattan his first week here, and when he visited the twin towers, he fell in love with their size and majesty.
"So he told himself he wished he could get a job in the World Trade Center," said his brother Sahadeo. "So he went down there the next week, and he got a job there. He just liked the building. He never worked nowhere else in America, not even one hour."
Mr. Ramsaroop, 45, helped run the towers' elevators, and when his brother visited, he unfailingly took him to the top to proudly show the view. He felt compelled to work six days a week to support his eight daughters and stepdaughters.
One of his happiest times came in August when he took a week of vacation. On successive days, he took his daughters Tiffany, 8, and Ashley, 5, to Great Adventure, the Bronx Zoo, the New York Aquarium and, on one day, not just one movie, but two.
"The day they went to the movies, they came home very late and I was very worried," said his wife, Shrimatti. "I got a little angry at him, but the girls were so happy. They said, 'Guess what, Mommy! Daddy sneaked us into a second movie. We had so much fun.' "

As we get closer to the day you were taken, it seems like everything is out of place. Words can't express how much we miss you.You are always in our hearts, remembering when we were little and you would hold us in your lap and play with us, the times you spent with us and loved us. We will never forget how you strive to give us a better life and future. We are who we are today because of you and everything you did and gave up for your three daughters. You are loved, missed and will always be living on through our memories and your 3 girls, Nadia, Michelle and Shelly Ann Ramsaroop.
Love you dad....

Due to an initiative from the folks of the 9/11 Memorial, I have participated in an act of kindness, where we are assigned the name which we are to honor and remember as a victim of 9/11. On the 10th Anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, I am honoring and remembering Vishnoo Ramsaroop.
The National September 11 Memorial will help us ensure that the innocent men, women, and children killed on 9/11 are never forgotten. Join us to honor, remember, and reunite. www.911memorial.org

I have tried to be there for your daughter, I have failed sometimes, but I want you to know that I love her with all my heart and I will always be there for her no matter what. May you rest in peace. Love, your son Damall

To the family of Vishnoo, please accept my condolence on behalf of all my family members. I actually grew up with Vishnoo better known as "Pyal" as everyone called him. We had lots of fun hanging out at Ragoo junction where we lived at St Croix Road in Princes Town, Trinidad. He will be greatly missed and may God be with his family in times of need.

It was several years ago that I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Mr. Ramsaroop and his family. Mr. Ramsaroop to me embodied the hopes and dreams of so many other immigrants like him. Although the circumstance of our meeting was strictly professional, I was never the less impressed by this gentleman's dignity and strength in the face of crisis. I am truly saddened by his loss. I offer my sincerest condolences to his family. My heart goes out to you all. May you find peace.

I met Vishnoo's younger brother in Donegal, Ireland. His story of his brother Vishnoo touched my heart and I wanted to see his Portrait here in the NY Times.
I send my sincere condolences to all Vishnoo's family.

We are very sorry for your loss of Vishnoo. Our hearts cry with you.
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
