Peter was a great person. He always tried to make
everyone feel good. It always amazed me how he took the time to do little things, like sending
me photos, which he loved to take, or giving beanie babies to his nieces and nephews. I am
greatful that I had spent time with Peter
at the Beach Club just before this tragic event.
We miss you very much. You will always be in our
hearts.
Mr.Milano was the greatest. He was so funny and loving.Know one liked him as much as I did,he was a great man and in our hearts he still is, of course he is still in my heart.Everyone still loves him, especially me and my family. Mr.Milano we all love you and we all miss you, a lot.

PETE I MEET YOU YEARS AGO WHEN OUR FOOTBALL TEAMS MET IN A PLAYOFF GAME(MULLBERRY BUSH VS NORTHBERRY). YOU GUYS HAD A GREAT AND ORGANIZED TEAM WHICH MY BROTHER JIM WHO ALSO PASSED ON 9/11 LATER JOINED. BOY WERE THOSE THE GOOD OLD DAYS.I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD RUN INTO YOU AGAIN BUT YEARS LATER WE DID AND YOU WERE THE SAME GENTLEMAN NOW AS YOU WERE THEN ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD. MY BROTHER JIM AND MYSELF WOULD ALWAYS TALK ABOUT ALL THE FUN YOU WERE AND HOW PROUD WE WERE TO CALL YOU OUR FRIEND. WE LOVED RUNNING INTO YOU AT SPORTING EVENT’S, RESTAURANTS,OR DOWNTOWN JUST WALKING TO WORK. YOU WOULD ALWAYS MAKE TIME TO SEE HOW OUR FAMILIES WERE AND HOW WE WERE. TO THE MILANO FAMILY MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU BUT REMEMBER PETE AND JIM ARE IN A BETTER PLACE SMILING DOWN ON US ALSO BE PROUD OF PETE HE TOUCHED SO MANY WITH HIS SMILE CHARM, AND KINDESS. GOD BLESS YOU ALL RICH DEBLASE
When I think of Peter I have to smile, he was always happy and full of life. He talked about Jessica and how beautiful she is, and how Proud he was of her. I remember the pride in his voice when he spoke of Peter and the man he has become. He was always a true friend to Lloyd and myself and I miss hearing his voice on a daily basis.
Patty, they worked together for probably close to 11 years and it gives me comfort to know that Lloyd wasn’t alone. If I believe in nothing else..I truly believe that they were together at the end and for that I am grateful.
Love

Peter Milano was a man who knew and showed us all, that no matter how much success you achieve in life it is your Family that really matters. I will always be grateful to Peter for teaching us all ,that lesson in life and for including myself , husband and childen as part of his family. Thanks Pete I know you are looking down on us and watching over the Family. WE will always have a special place in our hearts for you. You will be missed.
Not a day goes by that I don’t think about Peter and my thoughts and prayers are with Patty, Peter and Jessica, and his brothers and Maureen. I know how much Peter loved all of you, and how much you miss him. Peter always had a smile on his face, and in his short time here with us I know he loved life and lived it to the fullest. In everything he did and everyone he touched he left a cherished and indelible mark. Miss you “cupcake”. Love,Kathleen
Uncle Peter was the greatest! He has to be the most wonderful person I have ever met in my life. He made everyone around him feel special. I will always remember great times with him, like when he took me to Disney World, or to see Riverdance, going to the beach club, or just staying over his house. Every Christmas he would give Jessica, his other nieces and I a special Barbie doll ornament and usually whenever I saw him he had a beanie baby in his pocket for me. It is the little things like that and all the love he had for me that makes him special. Uncle Peter will always have a special place in my heart. I love you Uncle Pete!
Peter always loved the poem/prayer “Footprints”- but the biggest footprints are his-
he’s left “footprints in our hearts, and we will never be the same”. xoxoxoxo
I came to know Peter 13 years ago thru working at Merrill Lynch on the High Yield Trading desk. Every time I spoke to him thru those years he never changed. He was always the kind, considerate, funny, full of life person I had come to know. He was truly a wonderful guy and I will miss him and never forget him.
Peter walked or I should say breezed into my family’s life about 21 years ago. He was always trying to get into my good graces but I felt like he was taking my Patty away from me. I can still remember a little trick he used to pull on me. He used to hold out his cheek for me to give him a kiss and then quickly turn his head and give me a raspberry! He loved to do that. He was never afraid to show his affection by giving hugs and kisses and ALWAYS saying “I Love You”. Peter taught me that you can never be too generous. He was always so generous. I envied the way he loved my cousins Patty, Peter and Jessica. He was and still is a great man who lives on forever in my mind, heart, memories and spirit. I hope you can hear my prayers to look over us but then again you always have. Thank You for all of the wonderful memories you have impressed upon my family and our lives. I Love You and Miss You.
Back in 1976, about to begin my college experience, I remember feeling a bit apprehensive of “leaving” all that I knew. My dad said to me, “Son, the friends you meet in college will be your friends for life”. I swear my dad knew I would soon meet Pete. Such wonderful and happy memories! All of which have Pete as a central character. Pete had so many magnigicent qualities – it is impossible to properly illustrate them all. I do remember how I often marveled at how seemingly easy Pete made, and kept, friends. Consequently, Pete was never seen alone. I always felt better about myself when in Pete’s company. Pete never took friendship for granted. Pete unknowingly taught me much about being a true friend. Although life’s circumstances made our seeing each other a rare event after graduation, speaking with Pete this past July reminded me that time does not erode a true friendship. Thank you Pete and God bless you.

Peter is my first cousin but that term is so inadequate as he held many roles and places in my life. He was my best friend, confidante, partner-in-crime and the person I would always turn to when I couldn’t figure IT out on my own. He would call me when he couldn’t figure out a clue in the crossword. I’d pick up the phone and he wouldn’t even say hi first, he’d just say “five letters the clue is (whatever it was) and the second letter is (what ever it was).” I cannot even begin to count how many crossword puzzles we would put the finishing touch on together. He put the finishing touch on my existence and I am lost without him here. There are not enough pages on this website to list all of his wonderful qualities but anyone that was blessed with the great fortune to have crossed paths with him, whether for a moment or for many years, will agree that at the top of the list would be his: genuineness, genorosity, sincerity, kindness and his ability to make ever person feel more than they did before seeing him. More special, more loved, more happy, more beautiful, smart, valuable or fortunate. He may not have been on earth long enough, but as far as I’m concerned, I have never met anyone that put as much living in each 24 hours as he did. He truly knew the meaning of life: to love his family as much as humanly possible, to take each day on its own terms (then rewrite the terms to his liking) and to have left many who love him.
I Miss you, Pal. Love4ever, COL
Dear Peter,
Thank you , Peter, for making my life so happy and for being such a wonderful husband to my daughter, Patricia. I never thought of you as a “son-in-law” but always as a natural son. To know you was to love you! I miss you.
Love, Mom
The day I met Pete, the song Radar Love by Golden Earring was playing and it matched the earring he was wearing and the love he had for family, friends and life. I had never ever met anyone with the confidence and presence he had. Peter quickly became a best friend to me and many others. I have never had another friend who influenced my life so much and helped me become the person I am. He would say he was the reason I moved to New York and he had a lot to do with it. I wish I would have spent more time with him and his family these last couple of years. I think about and pray for Patty, Jessica, & Peter every day. Thanks Pete for being my friend.
Love,
Ronald
Dear Uncle Peter, I love you and always will. I remember whenever I came over you would say “I missed you” and would give me a big hug and a “smooch”, even when I was gone for only an hour. I miss you Uncle Pete and you will always be in my heart and prayers. Love your Godson Matthew.
Peter Milano was my son John’s best friend,
best man and Godfather to my grandaughter,
Lianne. He was also someone my daughter’s
Linda and Karen loved very much, as did I.
It seems like Peter was always a part of the
Silano family. Peter and I had a special
closeness. After he lost his Mother he knew
I understood his pain and it developed into a
special bond between us. Peter will always be
in our hearts and I know he is smiling down
from Heaven on all of us. There are not enough
words in the dictionary to describe what Peter
meant to my son. John was blessed to have had
him as his best friend. Rest in peace, Dear
Peter, you are gone but you will never be
forgotten.
With infinite love,
Barbara

Dear Mr. Milano’s family,
I hope you find comfort in these difficult times. My dad, Al worked with Mr. Milano on the 104th floor. Although I only went with my dad to work a few times, I foundly remember Mr. Milano making me listen to highlights from the World Series on his computer. I also remember Mr. Milano and his kids and I playing all throughout the office. We used to trade bonds over the phone with each other and play games on the computer. I’ve wanted to write your family but I never had the strength to do it. Pete, I hope your doing alright. I know our Dads are with God in heaven and I know we will see them again.
God Bless You All.
The first time I spoke with Peter he was in my Bklyn. Apt. at a New Years Eve party that I was missing due to work commitments. I knew right away that he was going to marry my sister Patty. I could tell by his voice what kind of guy he was. Sometimes I feel him looking over my shoulder, especially when I am in his house, making sure that I put things back in it’s place. We all miss you.
Cousin Peter, I cannot express your love and kindness you have gave to our families. On September 11, 2001 all that struck our minds was “Will he be ok? Will he call? Is he still alive?” Our prayers have been with this tragedy of the hoping of seeing you again. I could remember me and Cousin Brittany driving to your house in New Jersey to spend a couple of days up there. That was probably the best vacation with a family I’d ever had. I could remember going to get ice cream with you and trying to call the house to see what Cousin Patty wanted, but the line was busy. I could remember you telling me that chocolate shakes were one of your favorite things to have. Also, to this day Brittany and I cannot figure out – 1st Cousins onced removed. The only possesion I have from you is all of your quarters you would send me in that mail saying that for every kiss I gave you, you’d give me a quarter & The Bride Beanie Baby you gave me. You were almost like my Father, a very close person in my life. I might have never gotten the chance to tell you but now that you are gone I guess I didn’t know that I had you, a very important person in my life until you were gone. I love you very much and I miss you and hope too see you one day in a bigger and better place.
Love Always & Forever,
Kacie
Dear Mr. Milano,
Hello you probably don’t know me, but I am a very good friend of Jessica’s. I also lost my dad and you worked with him. His name is Paul Nimbley. Well I have heard a lot about you and Jess always talks about how nice and kind you were to everyone. Me and Jess always talk about our dad’s together and think of you and my dad. I know that you were a very good man by the way that Jess always talks about you and to Jess and her family may God bless you and Jess. I am always here for you as your best friend forever!
love always,
Jessica Nimbley
Mr. Milano was one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met. Jessica and I have been close friends for a while now and I remember all the great times I had with Jessica and her father. I’ll always remember one of Jessie’s birthday parties when we were in elementary school…Mr. Milano was the funniest ever. He would make us laugh all the time. I’ll never forget you, Mr. Milano. May God bless you and your family.
Love Always,
Nicky Eskildsen
Jess- i love you so much..i’ll always be here for you!
I just want to say that being in this family a short time has not given me a chance to be around the Milano family often. But it was odd how I had the chance to see Peter right before the tragic event and he had given me a big kiss and a hug and made jokes about my being pregnant again. I will always remember that day as I feel that it was a chance for those of us who didn’t get to be around him often to see his beautiful, smiling face and have it imprinted in our minds forever. My husband Paul and I think of you and your family often and know that you are forever smiling.
Love,
Laura & Paul Racioppi
I MISS U MY 3RD BROTHERHOOD PETER MILANO. I ALWAYS AND ALWAYS REMMY U FOR LONG TIME AGO I WAS LITTIE BOY PLAY WITH U. HAVE GOOD FAMILY WITH UR BEST THE ONE IN WORLD….I STILL LOVE U SO MUCH BROTHERHOOD.. GODBLESS UR FAMILY MILANO.. LOVE WITH HEART MICHAEL SANTORO / LIZ SANTORO..
Way back when, I knew family parties would be more special with Peter present because he’d take a break from the fraternizing to initiate a game of catch or shoot some hoops – a hero to us kids.
Yesterday, I know Peter displayed the same initiative – being the special hero – for those present that fateful morning.
Today and tomorrow, I know Peter’s initiative and heroism live on, in his children and forever in our hearts.

Peter, It’s been a year since you been gone from us. I know you are with me every day, walking with me through the last year, helping me to deal with all the changes in my life. I can’t begin to put into words how my heart hurts with the pain of missing you. Keep an eye on your “little man” Deej and help him to believe in himself like you showed Jess and Pete to believe in themselves. We miss you so much(DJ sends you smooches each night). Got your FISHBONE message. Thanks Bud! )3)3)3)3 Love all ways 3)3)3)3)3 Col + D.J.
I was lucky to have met Pete. Our friendship began when our sons Pete & Rob played basketball together. (Traveling Tournament Team) Our daughters, Jess & Julie were together for all the games. Our families became closer & closer. We began seeing each other outside of basketball. Pete would always be the one to pick up the phone to make plans to go out to eat on the weekends. We were 3 families: Milano’s, Russo’s & The Lenny’s (DiMaria’s)-together for many wonderful nights of laughter,good food & drink. Pete was the life of the party. My husband Bob & I miss him terribly. He always wanted the 3 families to be friends forever. I’ll never forget how Pete made me feel special with compliments he gave me about myself & my family. I miss how he would light up a room with his smile, I miss the phone calls. I’LL NEVER FORGET YOU PETE!
Patty,
A few nights ago I called Peter Lugers for reservations, The guy said “Sorry booked solid”
I got off the phone and thought, Pete will fix this for me. It took a while before I realized that he can’t fix it for me .. Sometimes the mind
shields us..
Tonight, I walked into Samantha’s school for a party, There he sat.. a man reading a book to the kids he looked EXACTLY like Pete… It was really scary for me.. I started to cry and they all must have thought I was nuts.. I guess I just wanted you to know that I think of Pete and you guys so often ..
Glenna
Hi Peter,
It has been 4 years since I saw your smiling face. I can’t even believe time has passed so quickly. Your memory lives on in my heart everyday. I love and miss you-Kerry
Thinking of you always
Hi
My ex-husband Billy Berlage was friends with Pete and Derf I remember how kind and friendly Pete and his family were to me the first time I met them. His parents were so nice and I know that is where he got his personality from. I was so sad to see that he was a victim of 9/11. I too was a bond trader for a muni bond company. I read in the paper about Pete and realized that since 1990 we lived a town away. God Bless the Milano family.
Terri
I met Peter years ago whne we both lived in Canarsie. His brother Derf and I went to Holy Family School together. We competed against each other in sports events and had a good time back in the old Foster Park days. Peter was a great person who was always fun to be around. In a football game he played hard but was the first guy to pick you up when he knocked you down. I had heard about him passing on 9/11 and I was in shock. He was so young and I knew he had married and had a family. I have never met his wife and children but I wanted to put this hear to say I am so sorry and may God Bless all of them. You
can see Peter Milano amde an impression on me as I had not seen him in a long time and I remembered how good a person he was. Heaven has a new angel looking down on us. God bless you Peter. You will never be forgotten.
