Tributes
If you know this employee, we invite you to add a tribute of your own to this page. All submissions will be reviewed by our administrator prior to being posted. Please limit your tribute to 100 words and be sure to check your spelling as tributes are posted as submitted. Also, please avoid pasting Microsoft Word documents, which can cause character problems.
John T. Gnazzo was a dedicated worker for Cantor Fitzgerald. He was employed for Cantor since 1992 and at the age of 32 years old his title was Vice President of Operations. John was responsible for 32 employees, including 4 section managers; and disaster recovery director. But John, like others, did not look upon his staff as coworkers, employees, or managers… they were a family. They loved their work and each other. At Christmas time, John would occasionally dress as Santa Claus and with all the monies collected from the staff, he would distribute gifts to the Cantor children.
John was not only a dedicated worker, he was a devoted loving husband of Helene and their two children, John, 3 years old and Jule now six months old. He had it all and they will miss his smarts, strength, loving personality and caring heart. A face we will never forget but a voice gone forever from our lives.
I once said I would never fall in love, but then love came along and tapped me on the shoulder and said “He will be different, he will treat my heart with care, be my friend as well as my love” and that he was. To my husband John Gnazzo, I will love you forever, and our children will always show your love for me. You are still the one I want to wake up with every morning and snuggle with every night. Sad and unfortunately enough, not one employee from Cantor Fitzgerald who attended work before 8:46 a.m. on September 11th had a chance to recover to their disaster recovery site. My prayers are with you John and all the other victims.
Until we meet again,
Forever… Helene
helene, on the day that god took your husband john, you have to believe he needed another angel, and like you said your two beautiful children is a part of his love for you….may his wings always protect you and the kids……and may his halo light always shine bright……and remember through your childrens eyes you will always see him and he will always see you……you and your family will forever be in my prayers….love your friend debbie
I worked in the New York office a couple of times where I worked closely with John.
Gnazz was a top man, who was very funny with a great sense of humour and is sadly missed.
My first job on Wall Street was working under John who had one of the easiest demeanors I have ever known. John was great with his workers and never lost his cool as he taught them and he always was joking around making it a pleasure to work for him. I am ver y glad I got to know John and my prayers are with his family.
Sincerely,
Erik
I remember when John, Turtle, Pam, Matt and Tom came to live in LA and work in the LA office. It was such a confusing yet energizing time. Jill and I will never forget setting you all up at your “temp” housing. We’ll never forget the laughs we all had together. You were all new to LA and Jill and I were NJ transplants to CA. You accepted us as Calif. Girls, but knew we’d always be Jersey Girls. Thanks for the memories and laughter. We miss you and hope that your family will be okay. Our hearts and lives will never be the same, but at least we have your memory.
May God Bless You and Protect, Love and Provide for your family.
With Love,
Peg and Jill
My son Paul also worked for Cantor Fitzgerald and I remember how happy he was with all the guys and girls who worked there, all I can say is they truly were the best and cannot be replaced, but the memory of all those young, talented people will always be remembered as THE BEST, my prayers are with all Cantor families, Carol Eckna
I worked for John as my first job out of college. The way he took me under his wing is something I will never forget. The term gets overused but John was such a ‘nice’ man, I cant count the amount of times he went out of his way to help one of his employees, whether work related or not. I know he’s in a better place, and my prayers are with you Helene, John, and Jule.
Unlike most writers here, I did not work with John, but instead grew up with him. He was a very dear friend, I am not surprised at all the good has done for all of you, he was just that kind of person. It is so hard to accept the fact that he was taken away so quickly that dreadful Sept. morning, but his memory will live on forever through his family.
TO HELENE: I cannot begin to understand your pain, I can only remind you of all the good times we all shared and all the good he has brought to everyone whose lives he touched.
To JOHN and JULE: Your Daddy was taken away so early, but you need to be proud that he was your dear Father so full of life and love.
My Friend JOHN: I miss you and know that somehow you are in a better place.
Helene, Our husbands were the best of friends and we can feel comforted in knowing that they’re still together. We know they’re up there hanging out and making everyone laugh just like they did here on earth. They were good husbands and good fathers. We are forever bonded by this shared tragedy and I hope we will always remain close and to be in each other’s lives to keep their memory alive forever. To John and Jule: Your dad was a great guy. He was very funny and had so many friends. He loved you both so much and would walk around the office with a digital camera to show pictures of you that he had taken, to all the people in the office. He was so proud of you and so happy in his life with your mom. They loved each other so much.
John,
I will ALWAYS remember you!!!!
You were always so cool!! A boy from brooklyn that became a man at a young age…. and moved up that corporate ladder. When I D.J. parties I will always play your song …..I’m a VICTIM.just for you.
“WHAT THE”……
That was john’s expression he loved to us……
I miss you-and always cared for you……your pal
Dave Walsh
John and I started at cantor the same week. We have been friend for many years now. John was always the one we would call to make us laugh. When John was around Joann, Donna and I would always be in tears from laughing so hard. John I will never forget you.

When I first began my career at Cantor 4 years ago Gnazzo and I hit it off from the start. He was the kind of guy that brought a smile to everyone’s face. From playing softball to going out for dinner we established a strong friendship.
One year ago I left Cantor, but we still remained friends. I just want to send my regards to John’s family and let them know that I think about Sept 11 everyday and I will never forget him
When I began my career at Cantor 4 years ago Gnazzo and I hit it off from the start. He was the kind of gut that mad you laugh no matter how busy you were. From playing softball to going out to dinner we established a strong friendship.
One year ago I left Cantor but we still remained good friends. I just want to send my regards to his family and let Helene and her children know that I think about John everyday and will never forget him.
John,
What a great guy. I first met John when Tom Damaskinos got me to come back to Cantor in 1996. Tom was in LA and I was on my way out there, I went to the WTC to meet with Paul Nimbly and that’s when I first met John. He greeted me like he knew me my whole life, right off the bat John just accepted me as his friend. We had a lot of fun together, you always knew that you were in for more than just a few laughs if you went out with John. He just had a knack for making people smile.
Keep them smiling up there John. I’ll never forget you.
Kevin (KB)
I started not long after John , in 1993 working in the “cage” at Cantor for 3 years, the long hours we worked brought us all close together, John was a hard worker and dedicated to his job, his great personality always kept the spirit up in the operations department and he will never be forgotten for that. God Bless
ALTHOUGH I NEVER MET JOHN,MY HUSBAND MICHAEL WOULD ALWAYS TELL ME WHAT A NICE GUY HE WAS,PARTICULARLY HOW FUNNY HE WAS.lAST DECEMBER HE DRESSED AS SANTA AND GAVE MY SON MICHAEL TWO CHRISTMAS PRESENTS(TWO WRESTLING GUYS WHICH HE LOVED)AND ALTHOUGH MY SON COULDN’T REMEMBER HIS NAME HE REFERRED TO JOHN AS THE FUNNY ONE.MICHAEL AND JOHN WOULD ALWAYS SAY THAT HELENE AND I HAD SO MUCH IN COMMON AND THAT ONE DAY WE WOULD HAVE TO MEET.THEY WERE RIGHT WE DO HAVE ALOT IN COMMON.HELENE I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I AM SO GLAD THAT MY HUSBAND IS IN SUCH GOOD COMPANY NOW WITH JOHN AND I LOOK FORWARD TO BEING FRIENDS WITH YOU FOR A LONG TIME TO COME.STAY STRONG,I’LL TALK TO YOU SOON LOVE DIANE
Helene, I can only try and understand your pain, just know I am here for you when you need me. Your children will be a constant reminder of the life and love you shared with John and I hope that comforts you.
John and Jule, You both only had your Daddy for a very short time but I’m sure that time meant the world to him.
When I worked with John “and the boys” when they came to LA I don’t remember ever having so much fun at work. It was a crazy time, lots of changes, and Paul, John, myself & the boys worked hard and played hard. When our project was completed & it was time for all to go back to NY there were many memories of many times in LA, Marina-del-Ray, and in NY as well. It is those memories that I can still smile & laugh about.
In the years gone by I have never forgotten you John as we worked so closely together.
My prayers are with your loved ones, and I will always carry that beaming smile, bellowing voice, and WHAT THE….we all laughed hard, worked hard, and cried hard for the loss.
God Bless.
Not only was John a good Husband and Father, he was also a good Friend. Growing up John was my best friend and was there for me & my family when we needed him most. I honestly believe that he is in a much better place now along with all of our loved ones wathing over us. John Gnazzo was a person that I loved, trusted and admired.
Helene, John & Jule, I don’t know what to say, but whatever I can do, I will.
Dear Helene,
I wanted to let you know just how very sorry my family and I are for your loss. I only met John one time at Thomas’ birthday party and he seemed so very nice. I have gotten to know you over time and I know in my heart that you can be strong for yourself and your children. I told you before, just be a daughter for now and let your Mom and Dad take care of you. They will be your strength and eventually their strength will become your strength. You have a wonderful support group in your Mom, Dad, Brother and friends. Lean on them for now. Take care of yourself and those two beautiful children. John’s memory will always be there because he will always be in all of your hearts.
Love Lorraine
Our family has been through so much over the past few years. Our only hope is that this can bring us closer and closer to each other. Never take your loved one for granted! My brothers and I love our neice and nephew so much! We are so grateful John was able to find is true love and leave behind his legacy within his children. We’ll never forget. We love you ALWAYS.
John, thank you for letting me play [terribly] on the Cantor Operations softball team. You were always such a pleasure to work with and will be terribly missed by many. You and your family are in my prayers.
John and my dad were best friends. I’ll never forget the time we went to the mall,I wanted a picture of triple h. John came over to see what me and my dad were arguing about, he asked how much it was. When my dad told him $17 John was like here, he whipped out money. We all just started laughing.
When we were on vacation my dad talked about John non-stop. He was always calling the office to talk to John. Now they are together watching over us, and still cracking jokes.
I’ll never forget you Gnazzo.
I didn’t know John well…but John and his brother Eddy made one of the best days of my childhood. I went to grade school with John’s little sister Misha. They came up to join one of our “Field Days”. I had no friends and they took me in like I was the coolest guy there. They were almost twice my age but they still wanted to hang out with ME! They showed me that I was ok the way I was. Thy made me laugh so much that day. They never judged me. I have always wished I could thank them. So, John & Eddy, Thank you! I will never forget you. Misha,Helene, John & Jewel, Eddy and the rest of the family and friends…I’m really sorry for your loss.
When John Gnazzo first burst upon the scene (Cantor L.A.), it wasn’t long before everyone took a liking towards him. “Gnazz”, with his cool, suave, smooth talking Brooklyn accent – I can still hear your voice – had all the right moves, and said all the right things in what must have been a very difficult position to be in. My tenure at Cantor L.A. ended before “Gnazz” and the Transition Team completed their project, but I knew then that this guy was special. I never thought that a guy from Brooklyn could pull off the California “laid back” attitude, but he did. To all of his co-workers and friends and moreover, his family, the jokes and the laughs we can still hear, His spirit lives on.
GOD Bless, and Keep The Faith!
J.R.
Helene,
John’s memory will live in the hearts of all who knew him. Always remember the love you shared with John will endure forever. He lives through the beautiful John and Jule and will keep a constant watch over all of you. I share in your sorrow and hope you know I am always here for you, John and Jule. Love always, Dina
If there is one thing that I will always remember about John, is that big smile he always had on his face. I can still hear him saying “What’s up buddy ?” as he shakes your hand and gives you his trademark laugh. John was just an all-around good guy. A guy you could always count on for help or for a favor. It was his demeanor and attitude toward life and people that made him so likeable. John you will always be missed and never forgotten !!!!!!
HELENE, JOHN & JULIE : No words can every convey how sorry I’am. If there is ever anything I can do to help please don’t hesitate to call…..
John,
I have know John since we were teenagers. He was always a good person. In later years he became my brother-in-law. John, you were always there to lend a helping hand. You were a great, dedicated husband and father. I considered John a brother, not an in-law and my parents loved him like a son. We will miss you tremendously.
Helene, I will always be here for you. John and Jule I can never fill you Daddy’s shoes, but I will help lessen the void.
God bless you and your family! I am Jimmy Quinn’s big brother.He always spoke highly of John.With all of these stories Cantor must have been such a fun place to work.Nobody will forget such unique and amazing guys like John and Jimmy! I wish you guys the best.With Love,the Quinn family.
JOHN WAS NOT JUST MY BROTHER, HE WAS MY BEST FRIEND. MY BROTHER NICKY, MY SISTER MISHA, AND I HAVE SO MANY GOOD MEMORIES GROWING UP WITH JOHN. HE LOVED HIS PARENTS, BUT WITH OUR PARENTS BEING DIVORCED WE LEARNED AT A YOUNG AGE TO LOOK AFTER EACH OTHER. AS WE GOT OLDER, JOHN WAS THE ONE WHO ALWAYS CALLED TO SAY HELLO AND TO SEE IF WE WERE ALRIGHT. HIS LAST CALL TO ME WAS ON SEPT. 10TH. TO INVITE ME TO DINNER. HE JOKINGLY SAID HIS KIDS DON’T KNOW WHO THEIR UNCLE EDDIE IS. HE WAS SO PROUD AND HAPPY WITH HIS WIFE HELENE AND THEIR TWO CHILDREN JOHN , AND JULE . I’M GLAD HE FINALLY FOUND HIS TRUE LOVE. JOHN I WILL MISS YOUR JOKES, CARING WAYS, LAUGHTER, AND YOUR PRESENCE. YOU ARE THE BEST BROTHER A PERSON COULD HAVE. I LOVE YOU.
Dear Helene,
I can’t even begin to know the extent of your sadness and hurt. I think back to when I saw you and John in the courtyard and he was holding your baby John. I remember telling my husband that you looked so happy and John looked like the “perfect daddy” holding the baby. Now I think how your Jule and my Anthony are 1 week apart and my heart breaks. My prayers are with you and John and Jule. I know that John is holding you and your children close to him. I believe with all my heart that when a great love like you and John had for each other happens, nothing, not even death, can diminish it. God bless you and you children.
Dear Helene, Little John & Jule,
Words cannot express the deepest sympathy we feel for you and your family. Please try to take comfort in the fact that your family and friends are there for you whenever you need them now and always. And you are never alone. I truly believe in my heart that when the people we love go to heaven that they are there to watch over us as John will now watch over you and your children. If you ever need us for anything we are only a phone call away.
Helena,
I know your pain and the challenge you are facing. I, too, lost someone very dear to me 10 years ago. My son’s father died when he was 11 months old. The anniversary of his death just passed this week. I will be praying for your family and I know that God will be with you and direct you as you raise your children without your dear love. Know that there are others out there who have you on their minds and are praying that God will comfort and direct you in all you must go through. Also know that those dear children are a sweet piece of your husband and you will always have a piece of him through them. It will some days comfort you and some days drive you to tears, but be thankful for those precious gifts. God’s best, Missy Dlhosh
John went out of his was to get me a job at Cantor once. My first day there I was amazed at the ways he had. He especially had a way with his employees. He had compassion and leadership with a smile that would brighten anyone’s day and that I’m sure no one will forget. John will forever remain in my thoughts and prayers.
HELENE: Keep your faith. Let this tragedy inspire you. Hold on to your memories-let them strengthen you and give you the courage to deal with this pain. I know sometimes you are angry at God, because I know I sure am, please try to take that anger and turn it into thanks that God sent such a beautiful man into your life, whose spirit will live on forever. May God bless you and your children ALWAYS.
I do not know where to begin… Naz was the heart and soul of our family at Cantor. He was the reason why our department was so close and why we were all such good friends. He added a family atmosphere at Cantor by being a sincere and giving person willing to do anything for anybody. He touched so many people so many different ways that one could say he was handed down to us here on earth by God himself. He was nothing short of a big brother to me, always lending advice and always making sure to make me laugh.
His humor was one of a kind. You could hear him laugh a mile away, and when you did you couldn’t help but ask yourself, “What the heck is Naz up to now?” His joking nature made work more like a Sunday afternoon at home. His pranks and jokes never ended. His kindness will always be cherished.
Helene, I could sit here for hours and tell you what John has meant to me and my family but there is not nearly enough time. As much as I miss my cousin Michele, it helps me to know that she is somewhere up there close to Naz. We all regarded him as a saint and I miss him dearly.
My deepest sympathies and prayers are with you and your family.
Helene, John and Jule,
I only met John once at my wedding, but I heard so many things about him from my husband, Fran. The stories he would tell my made me wonder if they ever got any work done at all.
Friends are the family you choose and John was a very dear friend to Fran. The only thing that gives me a little comfort is knowing that Fran, your husband, and so many of their friends were together.
Although each day seems to get a little harder I look into my daughter’s eyes and I see him. He will live on in her as John lives on in his children.
Stay strong.
Julie
Dear Helene,
You are a very dear friend to me. Words can not express my pain for you. John was your soul mate.
He was your biggest audience. He was a very good person and your one true love. I believe that he is a guardian angel watching over you,John and baby Jule. He also lives within your children and your children will always know what a wonderful loving father they had. I pray every night for you and your family that god will give you the strenght you need.I will always be here for you whenever you need me. I love you very much.
Love Now & Always, your friend Ann Marie DeMaria
Dear Helene,
Your husband was a good person and wonderful father. I can’t imagine your pain. Always let your children know how much he loved them,and always tell them the truth. Their father is in heaven with the angels,and will always watch over you and your children. AnnMarie and I will always be here for you. Love, Michael DeMaria

TOMAS CARMO
John you will be missed. I am pleased to have had the opportunity to know and work with you. Your ability to communicate with people helped you excel in your career path at Cantor. Whenever I needed help, I always knew who would be able to help me out – GIO (Giovanni). My condolences go out to your family, especially your wife and kids. May the Lord carry them during this terrible period in thier lives. Seek the Lord, he is there for you… waiting… for you to call upon him. G-D Bless.
John was without a doubt one of the funniest guys I have ever had the pleasure of knowing and even beter then that, I was lucky enough to have him as my boss. He made every day a good one, you would look around the office for him and he would always be up to something, making someone laugh, always having a good time. My life is a better one just because I was lucky enough to know “Naz.”
Dear Helene:
Every time I saw you and John together, both of you were smiling from ear to ear! I was so happy for you…and when you had your beautiful children I just knew you two were ment to be. It’s devasting that your time together ended so tragically and too soon. But always remember, what the two of you experienced together is something some people never get a chance to…you are blessed and loved very much. Helene, you and your children are in my my thoughts and prayers. I’ll always be there for you if you need me (keep that book handy…it really helps).
Love,
John and I met in 1993 when I started with Cantor
Fitzgerald. We became good friends and although
I left Cantor in 95 we kept in touch all these years. My life has forever changed since that day.
Naz I will never forget you or Paul N ,Vinny D,
Joey R, Alf , Turtle, Joe P, John M, Frank N.
I love you all.
My thoughts and prayers go out to all of your
families.
Tony Lento /Friend
JOHN AND I HAVE BEEN FRIENDS FOR AS FAR AS I CAN REMEMBER. HE WAS SUCH A GREAT PERSON FILLED WITH LIFE AND AMBITION. HE WILL ALWAYS HOLD A SPECIAL PLACE IN THE HEARTS OF MY FAMILY, JOHN TO ALL OF US WAS FAMILY. IT SEEMS SO UNREAL THAT HE ISN’T HERE ANYMORE WITH HIS UNIQUE PERSONA AND ABILITY TO MAKE PEOPLE LAUGH. MY CONDOLENCES GO OUT TO THE GNAZZO FAMILY.
HELENE: THERE ARE NO WORDS THAT CAN TAKE AWAY YOUR PAIN. ALL I CAN DO IS REMIND YOU OF ALL THE GREAT TIMES WE HAD TOGETHER AS TEENAGERS IN FLORIDA AND AT THE LOCAL CLUBS. MY FAMILY AND I ALWAYS KNEW THERE WAS A CHEMISTRY BETWEEN YOU AND JOHN. BUT YEARS LATER YOUR FRIENDSHIP BLOSSOMED INTO TRUE LOVE. AS WE BECAME ADULTS JOHN AND I WOULD HAVE OUR BRIEF ENCOUNTERS, I MUST SAY HE NEVER LOOKED SO FULFILLED WITH JOY IN ALL HIS LIFE. AS YOU KNOW HE ADORED YOU, JOHN AND JULE.
JOHN & JULE: YOUR DADDY WAS ONE OF A KIND. HE WILL ALWAYS BE THERE TO GUIDE YOU.
MY FRIEND JOHN: I MISS YOU SO MUCH. YOUR LEGACY WILL LIVE ON FOREVER THROUGH YOUR FAMILY AND SPECIAL FRIENDS. GOD BLESS YOU.
Dear Helene,
I remember the first time I saw you and John together. It was at Connors Beach Club. I thought what a nice couple you two made. Seeing your from time to time I realized John was the love of your life and you were his. I was so happy you found someone who could make you feel this way. Always remember the wonderful special times you shared with John. His life and memory will live through your children and they will know what a wonderful husband, father and person he was. You and your children are always in my thoughts each day. Please call me if you ever need anything.
Dear Helene and the Gnazzo family,
John and my uncle Vinny were great friends and John is the godfather to my cousin Micheal. John was ALWAYS spoken so highly of by my uncle Vin and last opening day of the Yankee’s season, I met them at “the bat” and had an awesome day. These men will forever and always be our heroes. I thank God that Uncle Vin is with his best friends. God bless all the Cantor families. We will all one day link again as one.
Love, Jennifer
I haven’t seen or spoken to John in many years, but he is sorely missed. We were both CRT Operators in “the Cage”. I remember one night he and I were waiting for our cars home outside the Trade Center and George Steinbrenner walked out from WOW. John said “Hey Start, do you know who that is?” He wanted his autograph but was too shy to approach him, so I did. I introduced myself to Mr. Steinbrenner and said my friend would like your autograph. He did so and then asked if I would like one. I said no. Gnazzo was hysterical – he said, “Hey Start, you just dissed Steinbrenner!!”
We always had so much fun. Working with John, Alf, Dog, Paul Nimbley and the rest of the gang was always a blast. They were more than co-workers – they were friends and family. My prayers are with you.
I know many people in this Industry. Very few are as special as John Gnazzo. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of Him and all the wonderful guys at Cantor. What can I say ? He brightened up the day…… I miss the laughs, Naz.
JFC
Hey Gnazz,
I’m sure you are looking down at everyone and remebering fondly how you made Cantor’s cage a “family”. I will never forget walking through the door every morning and hearing you yell, “hey little one’s in, good morning”. I will always smile when I think of the many pranks you pulled and your little sayings: “dong didong dong”. You made us laugh everyday and if I got into a mood, you’d come over to the desk, sit down and just start making me cry laughing till I was in a good mood! You will be missed dearly by me and by all the lives you’ve touched. Take care of everyone up there, I know you are probably still pulling your jokes with them.
God bless your family and I pray God continually gives them the strength to go on.
See ya, love little one!
I worked with John for only a short time. He was so happy with his wife and kids. Helene was John’s true love. Warm, smart, and a great mother. John spoke highly of her, and also how great a person his mother-in-law is. Helene may you receive all the blessings that you deserve.
It was a pleasure to have known John and work with him. He was quite possibly one of the sweetest guys I have ever met. John’s true leadership skills were shone after ’93. I knew then that he would be a valued part of the operatons dept. I will never forget him and I keep his family in my prayers.
I still remember John as a sixth grader. He was the first Korean-Italian boy I had ever seen; I thought that distinguished him in a way. Now, he is distinguished in a way I never would have thought. He was one-of-a-kind, even back in grammar school, when he would challenge me to arm-wrestle him and I would win – or he would let me defeat him. He was gracious like that. I remember, too, how sore John would make Mr. Posival who, in turn, would punish John by forcing him to place his nose in a hardly visible hole that he had etched on the chalkboard for that very purpose, and how John would just stand there, hugging himself, with his big smile peeking out from behind the chalkboard like a Chestshire cat. And the whole class would laugh then, until John obliged us to S.T.O.P., invoking us in code to give the “Silent Treatment on Posival”. He was a leader even back then. I know John is in heaven, raising a little hell and perhaps teaching some goody-goody how to give God the silent treatment – and laughing, wishing we would not mourn him here on earth. Thank you, John, for the good memories. Helene and family, you have my deepest sympathy.
– Gina Sandella Hoey
John,
It was a pleasure knowing you. Even though you were a customer of mine you always treated me as a friend. We had a lot of laughs together. Playing softball for Cantor was a experience I’ll never forget. I still remember walking past the conference room and seeing all the things you brought in from Little Italy you and Vinny and everyone else invited me in to eat with you guys. I’ll never forget anyone of you guys and my life is better from knowing all our you.
Your friend Mike Bivona
Dear Helene,
I know I wrote before but I just wanted to put something else in words just for you. Remember you and John were the happiest couple. He loved you and ONLY YOU…and you loved ONLY HIM…this was true LOVE…there are many loves out there granted….but TRUE LOVE IS VERY HARD TO FIND AND IS VERY SPECIAL..this you and JOHN ONLY HAD……AND NO ONE CAN TAKE IT AWAY. REMEMBER THAT…UNTIL YOU MEET AGAIN ONE DAY IN HEAVEN I KNOW HE WILL BE WAITING FOR YOU AND ONLY YOU……..MUCH LOVE, DEBBIE
Helene…it’s me again. One more time. I want you to know that me, Nicky Boy and Nicole will always be there for you, John and Jule in every way we could. You are like family to us…….we love you…Debbie, Nicky Boy and Nicole
Helene,
I didn’t know John very well, but I know you since you were a little girl. I just wanted to let you know that you are in my prayers. I think about you all the time, and ask God to give you the strength to move on. You have 2 beautiful children to keep the spirit of John alive. Try to take comfort in knowing that John is watching over you and your children. If you ever need a friend, I am here for you.
Always in my thoughts and in my prayers, Ursula
I first met John when he was working with Paul Nimbly on the L.A. project back in 1996 or so. Cantor was my client and it was a dinner in Santa Monica we would all remember later since I spilled red wine all over the table. Then back in New York he was my primary contact at Cantor who quickly became a friend. Although I never met Helene, he told me all about you – he was so happy! We were at lunch one day with John and Vinny D’Amadeo; Helene was expecting their first child any day. He had a beeper and was so nervous and excited waiting for the call that we laughed at him and with him all through the lunch. John was a very special person whom I will never forget. I was so happy for him that he found his true love. Helene, my thoughts and prayers will always be with you.
I had the pleasure of working with John from 1992 til 2000. Helene and Him would welcome me into their home as if i was family. I remember when his son was born he would take me over so i could see his son once a week.He would always crack a joke.I know he Loved his wife and children very much. Hang in there Helene
Naz, I can’t beleive it’s nearly half a year that I haven’t heard you call me “Toady” or that I’ve heard a “DONG!!” from you. This place just isn’t the same. I miss all of your sayings, your jokes, your impressions of everyone, your caricatures of all of us!! I miss our random lunches and steak dinners. I went to our “home” today for the first time since and it all still feels like a dream. I know you are up there laughing at all this but it’s late so i’ll let you go… I miss you guys.
I remember the first day John started working in the cage, he could not believe that we could have so much fun in one day and then get a free cab ride home at the end of the night. John and I used to ride home together just about every night since he and I were the only 2 in the cage that lived in Manhattan.
When I was down and out John always managed to pull me out of it. John was a good guy and I am glad I had the oppurtunity to share that time with him, my heart goes out to the family.
GOD BLESS….
I grew up in the same neighborhood as John and as a little boy would always follow him around. He never let on to how much of a pest I must have been to him and no matter what he always looked out for me. For this I will always grateful.
My prayers go out to John’s family and loved ones. GOD BLESS
John was Vinny’s right hand man. I usually dealt with Vinny when I had any problems with the Financials. But any of the dealings I had with John were always pleasant. He was just a genuine guy. Always smiling and telling jokes. I can still hear him screaming at Carol Muniz about her being a temptress on Temptation Island!!!! He was hysterical!!! I also remember him being a proud father and showing off his new baby “Jules”. She was so very precious. Helene, may God give you the strength to carry on and always know that John is never far from you or the children. May God bless you and your family. John may be gone, but he will not be forgotten.
John, I can’t believe it is now 6 months we have been separated. I have so much to tell you. Your son is so smart he’s gotten so big, his mannerism remind me so much of you. You were right having John meant I could never get rid of you. He talks about you often. Your little Jule is walking, and starting to talk, she has your face and my teeth.
She constantly says daddy and knows to point at all of the pictures I have around the house of you. Even though your physcial presence is not with us, she still is daddy’s little girl. I know deep in my heart you see us I feel your presence at times. I love you and will never stop. People say after a while when someone crosses over you forget the sound of their voice. How can I ever forget your unique voice, nevertheless walk, sick sence of humor, and charming personality. I just want you to know you have made a very strong impact on my life. I have learned so much from you. How you looked at life, I took for granted at the time, but now it’s as if I see life and it’s challenges through your eyes. I was your co-pilot as you would say, now I am the pilot, and I promise I will make you so proud. We miss you, and we’ll never forget. Say hello to the cantor crew for me and keep making them laugh for I miss them as well. R.I.P.
Helene, Our families go back a long way from your grandmother to my mother and your mother to myself. We don’t only know each other now but living in the same building made us even closer friends. I still remember John in the playground with his children and his smile said it all, how happy he was with his family, that smile will never be forgotten. Hold on to your wonderful memories, Helene and they will help you through it all. Also having your parents and family support is all the strength you need. Helene, John and your children are in my prayers forever. Love always, Phyllis
Helene, my words cannot express my deepest sympathy toward you and your family. John seemed to be a wonderful man, father, hubsand, and friend. I only wish I got to know him the way I know you. I only wish all three of us could sit around and tell our funny inside stories. Through your children I do feel like I know who John was. Helene through this tragedy I found an older sister figure and that figure was you. We are two floors apart but You, John, John and Jule are always in my heart, thoughts and prayers. John and Jule are the two most precious children I have ever seen and I love spending time with them. Helene, I do believe that God only gives us what we can handle. You are strong and as each day goes on you can only grow stronger. Your children and memories will only lead you to the best happiness in life. I’ll always be here for you.
Helene,
I’m sorry I didn’t write this sooner, but I honestly didn’t know what to say. I can’t tell you how sorry I am for what happened to John and how it affected your family. John was a great guy and didn’t deserve to be taken away from you and your beautiful children. You and I have been friends for a long time and I hope you know that my family and I will be there for you in any way if you need us.
Your Friend Always,
Vinny
John, Where do I begin? O.k. I’ll begin with our first encounter you were probably 10 yrs. old, I 14. This little spunky kid new to the neighborhood approaches myself and others and said ” I bet I can flip you, I take Judo”. You didn’t succeed in the flipping part, but you had guts and confidence, qualities which sparked an everlasting friendship. Through the years we had many memories and laughs. I miss us. I now walk the the streets of Greenwich Village and so many memories come to mind. I wish I could
call you up and just reminisce. So instead I call Helene and the kids and make sure they are doing o.k. From time to time I visit them, and Helene knows she can call me whenever she wants, for whatever she wants. For I know you would have done the same for me. I can go on and on, but you can’t explain John Gnazzo in words you just had to know him. So I will end this tribute by saying in the end my friend you did flip me. You made me see that life is a funny thing we take it in search of an easier way then on that tragic Sept.
day, I realized how quick it all could end when my heart felt the sorrow of you my dear admired friend.
Helene: Stay as strong as you are, you well know that John only wanted happiness for you he loved you dearly.
John and Jule: Any question you may have in the future, Uncle George will try to answer. Your daddy loved you both so much and his legacy will live though you. God Bless.
Helene,
Words can not describe the sorrow I feel for you, John and Jule. John is now your Guardian Angel, watching over you, giving you the strength to carry on his legacy. Cherish the life and memories you shared together for no one can take them away from you. You are in my thoughts and prayers every day. If you need anything just call.

Dear Helene,
I just wanted to let you know that I’ve been thinking of you so much during the past few unbelievable months. It’s taken me a while to contact you, but what I can still remember of your smiling face and fun-loving spirit will continue to be in my thoughts!
My Dearest Friend Helene,
You don’t need me to tell you that John was an amazing man, husband, father and friend. He loved you like no other. I remember how excited he was when he found out you were having a baby. Jason told me he walked around like a proud rooster. You truly had something special and one of a kind. You should live on those memories. You are a terrific mommy, and He is so proud of you.
I will always remember his witty personality and how I almost kicked his butt because he snuck up on me in the WTC.
Helene, we will be friends for life. Know that you can always count on me for anything. When you are sad and lonely, pick up the phone and call, anytime…anywhere.
Here is what John is telling you…
“When you’re walking down the street, and you’ve got me on you mind, I’m walking in your footsteps only have a step behind. And when its time for you to go…from that body to be free, Remember you’re not going…you’re coming here to me.”
I hope this brings you some comfort.
With all my love,
Natasha Makshanov Sekzer, friend-co workers spouse
Dear Helene,
I was speaking of your 2 beautiful children today and wanted to send a small note to remind you that you are all in our thoughts and prayers each day.
A special prayer will be said for John in St. Patrick’s on May 24. He will stay eternally young in heaven, as in our hearts as well.
Sending you all our love and blessings.
Hi John,
I really dont know how to start this, so I’ll just tell you how much I miss you. You were the funniest and nicest person from the very first day that I started at Cantor. I have alot of funny memories of you and I will cherish them always. You are a great person and I never got to tell you what a pleasure it was working with you. You are talked about almost every day at work, how we all wish you were still here to make us all laugh the way you did every day. John I will leave off saying this to you “what – you think I sold them all?” I hope you remember what I am talking about. My thoughts and prayers go out to the whole Gnazzo family, John was truly one of a kind.
Love always Loren Messina AKA Slim Shady!!!
Happy Father’s Day! Thanks for always watching my back and helping me out when problems came up at work.
john….happy fathers day in heaven. rest in peace. your wings are wrapped around helene and your beautiful children…debbie tozzi..family friend….
Naz, Happy Poppa’s Day dude. We miss you. I want to thank you for the apartment, too! I tell Jenn that I am positive it was a gift from you from way up there! Wish the rest of the crew a Happy Fathers’ Day for me. Make sure Mondo don’t get too out of hand up there.
John, it’s me your brat. I just needed to write and let you know how much I miss you. The need to see you and hear your voice has gotten stronger. I know you hear my prayers and recieved the big balloons on your birthday and father’s day from the kids and I. You are only a breath away I keep saying you slipped into the next room and just because we don’t see you physically your presence is with us spiritually, so therefore you are still spoken about in our household now and always. I love you. Tell the guys and girls up there I send my love and prayers.
Hi John,
I can’t believe it’s almost a year since this terrible tragedy happened. I can still hear you trying to give me advice about some crazy thing I got myself into. I just wanted to let you know I think about you all the time along with the rest of the Cantor crew.
Gnazzo,
You are so very missed, words can’t express the void that was left when you and the boys left us for heaven. There was never anyone at Cantor who could make us laugh more than you. I always told you that you missed your calling, you would have been a terrific comedian. How I miss all of the ridiculous scandals you would make up for laughs, nothing was sacred if it would make us laugh, and laugh we did! It was never like a day at work for all of us, we were just one big family having a great time with a bit of work thrown in to keep us on our toes. I will forever treasure the memories of you dressed up as Santa or you running after little John when you brought him into the office. Helene, John was so very happy now with you and the children, it really was something special to see. I am sorry that I never got to meet Jule, but you can be sure that John showed us all pictures and videos of her.
Please know that you are all forever in my thoughts and prayers. May God bless you all.
Love,
Dear Helene,
I have just now read your kind words. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, it means so much to me that George was thought of so highly and had such great friends as your husband John. I, too, heard such nice things about John from George, and was with him when he picked out those vases. He always remembered his friends at work when we went on vacation, and loved to buy souvenirs. Our memories are what holds us together. Tell your children, as I have told my daughters, that Daddy is an angel watching over them. You can be very proud of John, accomplishing so much for one so young. Keep his memory alive, and you will see him every time you look into your children’s eyes. God bless.
Love, Christina Paris
Hello John,
Wow, I can’t believe that 2 years have gone by now since you are gone. How could anyone plot such a cruel attack. I only pray that you are safe and that you are with your family and Yenna having fun and watching over us all. I laugh every time I think about the night she bugged out. I jumped through the window and you didn’t know where to go. Although, somehow we seemed to calm her down and get things back to normal. I have a close friend who lost her mom in this tragic event and I only hope that you are all together. I visit her in the family room right across from the towers and I pray for you every time I am there. I hope you can see us and know how missed you are and how we all love you. God Bless You. My prayers are with you now and forever. Your love and kindness will live on in your children. Love always, Lynn Delardi
I JUST WANT TO SAY HAPPY THANKSGIVING YOU WILL PROBABLY BE WITH YOUR FAMILY SO REMEMBER MAYBE THAT MIGHT TAKE SOME OF YOUR Saddness away
It’s been nearly four years since we last saw Naz but he is still such a HUGE part of our lives. We still think about him every single day. If not for Naz our lives would be so much different than they are now.
Back in late September 2000, Jenn was in the Cantor Training Program and I was working for Naz in Operations. One day Jenn was sitting with a co-worker of mine and I happened to take notice of her. I had asked around as to who she was because I thought she was adorable and plus there aren’t too many girls my height and Jenn just so happened to be one! Anyway, Naz found out I had a crush on Jenn so Naz being the Naz we all know decided he was going to have some fun and play a little ‘dating game’ knowing that I was way too shy to ever introduce myself. He brought Jenn over to me and proceeded to play matchmaker like only he could with wit, comedy and charm.
Suffice to say, the rest is history.
Jenn and myself were married three years later and are now expecting our very first child. When people ask us, “So how did you two meet?” our eyes light up like children and we can’t wait to tell the story of John Gnazzo and the 101st floor of World Trade Center One.
Whenever we look into the eyes of our children we will forever be thinking of our friend, our matchmaker, our angel, Naz.
We miss you so much Naz and we still carry you with us in our hearts every single day.
With much love,
Jenn and TC
JG
Well its been 4 years and not a day goes by that i dont think of you and the rest of the guys.You will always be in my prayers………..

I tend to think of you, John if not everyday, every other day. Despite it taking me over four years to write this, I highly value our pre-teen friendship that’s in my heart and will last a lifetime. I first met you John if you don’t remember at the candy store across the street from St. Anthony’s Church, where you were eating zeppoli’s and had sugar allover your parochial school uniform. Our friendship bonded when you got kicked out of that school and ended up in a public junior high school, I.S.70 and I had just moved from our neighborhood,Soho to the Chelsea Housing Projects. I felt disconnected from my old neighborhood and you, Gnazzo had welcomed me back and made me feel part of it again. During these growing years we had the greatest times that I would n’t trade for anything. I miss your humor-wise cracks, pranking and our mutual appreciation of growing up in the greatest neighborhood.
Years later I had mentioned to you, John that I would write a work that would pay tribute to our young lives and our neighborhood, and you replied “David, you’re going to be big one day”. Well I am not going to be big without you John in my writing, which will be dedicated to you, my brother. Divinely, you were literally on top of the world where you worked, the 101st floor very close to heaven where you are now. You worked as Vice President of Operations and now you’re with the President of All Operations, our heavenly father.God Bless you,Eddie and your family forever
I worked with John when he worked for the L.A. office in Century City. I was the receptionist there and I always remember John as a friendly and good hearted person. He always had a great smile and attitude. And what struck me the most was how down to earth he was to people around him. He had a way of making others feel important no matter what they did. He was truly one of a kind and I am glad I got to know him. May God keep his entire family, God Bless You!

Hi daddy. Finally Osama Bin Laden is dead. Well last week I turned 10. I got a lot of cool gifts. I miss you very much. I kinda write on this website like every month. I miss you very much. Well mom told me you said that “Butterfly Kisses”, that song will be our song. Well you we’re right. I have that song on my Ipod. When me and mom went to mother and daughter day out that song was on. Stuipid right. That is a daughter and father song. Idiots. I hate all this commotion about Oama thing, like shut up on the news. The kidz in my class talk about it and it gets on my nerves. I hate it. Why me? Well they dont know how it feels like not having no husband or no father. If they were in my postion they would be over dramatic. I hate the kids in my class. So dramatic. They get sad when there great great grandmothers die. Who are like 105 years old. Mutts. So, always look over me, mom, john, and nana. I pray to yu every night. I miss you so much.

Hey Jule, Your dad was Great!!! we use to call him Johnny Depp when he first started at Cantor because he was always well groomed and he always dressed like a Million Bucks. He was always cracking a joke, no matter how bad the situation was he laughed about it. But one thing I do know is that he couldn’t wait to be a parent. I read your post and I feel the Love you have for your Dad! My advice to you is to move forward accomplish all of your dreams. I think your Dad would have said the same. God Bless you John and your Family.
you are missed!
I am in England and spent most of today 9/11 in tears watching the names being read at Ground Zero. I saw your beautiful boy speak your name and shed more tears at the time you were robbed of with him and your lovely daughter. You must be so proud of them both. Tracey XXX
thank you for writing on my dads page. I like how they use to call he Jonny Depp cause i watch his movies. Please remebeber my dad in your prayers
.
I am at home right now wishing you a merry Christmas to you and papa grandpa and uncle Jr. I got the kindle fire for Christmas and John is now not allergic to dogs and we got zoey. She is very small. I am typing from my kindle fire and I am often going to type to you. So always be alarmed for my messages. I love you daddy and I also wrote my report on you for the momonth county writing contest. I hope I win. Always look after mom and John. God bless everyone on the earth from harm or danger. I miss u 🙂
Dear daddy,
I miss u very much. I know you give me signs. I see them everyday. Like whenever I look at the clock 9:11.I know your the robin redbreast inme my backyard. You were siting with me on the swing. Tell papa and everyone up there I love them . Loveyou
Jule see u
Eleven years to the date here I am once again. I can still hear your voice “Gnazz”, as well as still hear your jokes. Your daughter, Jule, is an inspiration to many of us with her continual posts to you. They’re all so comforting to read. So Jule, if by any chance you happen to read this today, I am praying for you, your brother and your mom to be strong today and that God keep sending Angels to guide you and to help you keep your dad’s spirit alive. Rest in Peace “Gnazz”.
11th September 2012 – Thinking of you, your lovely children and wife with sadness on this day. You should of course be there with them and I’m so sorry for you all that this was taken from you. It’s an eternal wrong. With love, respect and rememberance. xxx
My birthday is in a couple of weeks! I’m turning 12. I’m miss you more each day. I love you. Keep our family safe and healthy.
Xoxo
Dear daddy,
I miss you so much! I love you so much, I want you here now because I want you to help me with soccer. I’m trying out for the team and I really want to make it. I wish you were here to help me. I love you so so so much. I been crying a lot because I wish you were here. I know your always with me and theirs not a day that goes by that I don’t think about you. Basketball seasons coming up, I know your always on the court with me. I’m going to be on the varsity team now. I’m gonna practice all summer so I make the team. Daddy I don’t think of you as dead man, I hate when people say that my daddy is dead! I think of you as my angel. Every time I look at the clock it’s 9:11 and I get so happy because I know your their in the room and when I see it sometimes I start to cry. A lot of people don’t get why I still cry over you because you’ve been in heaven for over 11 years, and how I love you if I didn’t know you. Well I feel like we have a special connection like your inside of me in the difficult times. I know your always their for me and I love you so so so so so so so so much. I’m looking at your picture while writing this and I just miss you so much. See you in heaven daddy)3
Dear daddy,

I love you and miss you. Please look over John in high school. Johns not nervous for high school but I am for him. Please keep the family safe and zoey says woof;) love you! Your literally my best-friend. I will never forget you and there’s not one day that goes by that I don’t think about you! Guess what? Your my new screen saver:) I love you to the moon and back, bestie
