Angela Rosario Date of Birth: November 2, 1973 Position: Traders/Broker’s Assistant, TradeSpark Angela, our Angel Angela Rosario was born on November 2, 1973, in New York City. She resided in the Lower East Side of Manhattan throughout her life. Angela attended Bellevue Day Care, P.S. 134, JHS 56, and graduated from Murray Bergtraum High School in June of 1991. Angela always realized the importance and the need to further her education. In order to support her educational goals, she held several full time positions and attended school in the evenings. In June of 1999, Angela received her Associate of Arts Degree from Borough of Manhattan Community College. She was in the process of pursuing a Bachelor of Arts Degree, majoring in Psychology, at Hunter College. As any teenager, Angela was ecstatic to commence on her working career. At the age of sixteen, she proudly accepted her first job at a summer youth program. Upon her high school graduation, she was hired by Nynex and later worked for Eurobrokers. Ultimately, she landed a position at Cantor Fitzgerald in 1997. Angela had a need, a desire to help and care for others. Her desire to help people came naturally, and it was no surprise when she decided to major in Psychology. Many people were attracted to her inner beauty and magical way of making them feel special. She hoped to someday reciprocate her gift of love and kindness by professionally helping people in need. Among her goal in life, Angela wanted more than anything to continue her educational career and relocate her mother from the Lower East Side to a house of her own in the suburbs. Angela was fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to pursue one of her many dreams – to travel. She often vacationed with her friends or family members. She particularly enjoyed traveling to different islands.

Elvin Romero Date of Birth: January 26, 1967 Department: International Equities Position: Vice President La vida te da sorpresas, sorpresas te da la vida…who knows what tomorrow will bring? Simple phrases that became my husband’s philosophy on life. Live each day to the fullest and enjoy it to the end. How glad I am that he felt that way and lived that way, for in his 34 years, he was a man who dreamt his dreams-and then made them come true. Long ago he dreamt of working on Wall Street and becoming a trader, and he did. He dreamt of falling in love and having a family, and he did. More recently, he dreamt of putting in an inground pool in our yard and swimming with Gabriella and Alexander, and he did. He dreamt of seeing Gabi start kindergarten with her head held high, and she did. Since he was a boy, he dreamt of owning a sports car, and all of those who knew him well knew he got that 2001 silver Corvette Z06. Elvin was a dreamer. He was also a proud, loving father…a dedicated son, brother, uncle, nephew and cousin…a devoted husband. He was and always will be my best friend, my soulmate. He taught each of us in his life a valuable lesson whether family, friend or simple acquaintance. Do whatever it takes to be happy in this life. His legacy lives on in all those who were touched by his magic and by his kindness. May we never forget to stop and appreciate the beauty that is each new day. Te quiero con todo mi corazon, mi amor.

Donald Robertson Date of Birth: December 24, 1965 Position: Broker On September 11, 2001, Don Robertson, a 35 year old broker with Cantor-Fitgerald went to work on the 105th floor of World Trade Center tower one and was never heard from again. Don left behind his wife, Karen, and their four children, Michael, Matthew, Madison, and Kevin, ages 9 through 17 months. Don was a great father who coached two hockey teams and helped Karen coach a soccer team. He loved his family and it definitely showed in his home. His house was a virtual fantasy land for children. He was always buying go-carts, kayaks, surfboards, fishing poles, etc., for him and his children to enjoy together. He didn’t do this to surround himself with “stuff,” he did it so his kids would stay close to home, and he could then stay close to his kids. His wife, Karen, was a stay at home Mom. Incredibly, she spoke at Don’s memorial service with their four children at her feet, praising Don’s love and commitment for his family. Don was loved by everyone. He was an unbelievable friend to many. Anyone that he came into contact with was immediately taken with him. He possessed a personality and a smile that drew people to him. A great ice hockey player, Don always loved playing the game with his buddies a few times a week. Our hearts are broken, but the memories will keep us going on. God bless you, Don, and may you be up there scoring goals and entertaining all.

All our dreams for you were just about to be fulfilled. September 11th and Christopher Peter are now one and the same. Life will never be the same. Our hearts will never stop pining for your smile, hello or “yeah right.” We continue our walk in life looking forward to being with you again sometime in the future. You don’t know how much your parents suffer. You don’t know how much, with you away, our home was full of grief, full of grief. Mom and Dad

John Armand Reo Date of Birth: January 25, 1973 Department: Desk of John Murray, Todd Pittman, and Brian Novotny Position: Credit Derivatives Broker John, 28, was the beloved son of Armand and Judith Reo, of Troy, NY. John was the youngest of five children. After spending a year at Notre Dame, he graduated from SUNY Albany, NY. John loved his family. His three older sisters, Suzanne Swaine, Kristin Maguire, and Meghan Metzemaekers were married with children. His 8 nieces and nephews adored him and named him their “Johnny Boy.” John loved the hours he spent on the golf course or at a Yankee game with his beloved older brother, Mark, and his three brothers-in-law, John Swaine, Rich Maguire, and Dave Metzemaekers. With his dad and all the men in his family, hours were spent after golf, a good cigar and many laughs. A few months ago, in May, John followed his brother in law, John Swaine, into the “Big Apple”. He was living with the Swaines in Larchmont, NY and working with John Swaine at Cantor Fitzgerald. A new start…a great opportunity…exciting times. John Reo avoided any particle of life that was mean spirited. He took in the beauty of nature-took time to watch the hawk in flight or the deer stand in silence. John often used his quick wit to disarm all of his friends into howls of laughter. His search was always for peace. He quietly spread his calm manner to all who knew him. He was born a gentle soul. People filled with hate who thought they could destroy him and others, only succeeded in opening the doors for John and his dear brother-in-law, John Swaine, to enter arm in arm into an eternity of God’s love, joy, and everlasting peace. We will remember them always. We will love them forever.
