  Michael Massaroli

Date of Birth: June 20, 1963
Position: Vice President of Operations

Michael was one of the kindest people I have ever known. He was a dedicated husband, a great father, a loyal friend, and a hard worker. He was well respected by all who knew him. If you had a problem all you had to do was ask and he would solve it for you. He was also a devoted Met and Jet fan. Some of my fondest memories are going to Met games with him and my son Michael. I fully intend to carry on that tradition with my daughter Angelina also.
I will miss Michael with all my heart until the day I leave this earth. My only dreams now are of making him proud of me and I long for the time when I can be with him again.



Diane Massaroli, Wife
  • I never met Michael, but I have recently met his wife,wonderful son and daughter. I know Michael must have been a devoted father and loving husband because his family spoke of him so proudly and lovingly when I met them. Diane is very strong and their son Michael is so bright and friendly. Their daughter is just so precious. I am sure Michael will be watching over them and he certainly will always be proud of them.

    Diane – if you ever want to talk please call. My number is listed.

  • MY DAD WAS THE NICEECT PERSON IN THE WORLD AND I LOVE HIM MORE THEN ANYTHING I MISS HIM SO MUCH HE LOVED METS+WORLDSERIS+BASEBALL+TV

    MIKE, SON
  • My brother Michael-so much to say, so painful to say it. Because in a billion years I would never have thought I’d be doing a “tribute”. We grew up together and were supposed to grow old together. The pain I feel since my brother was taken from me is so intense at times it physically takes my breath away. I hope our children (mine and his) will never have to experience anything as devastating as this. Getting me through are my memories of him. He was so much one of the “good guys”. Hard worker, family man & easy to please. He loved his wife from the day they met, adored his son and his newborn baby girl. He was loved by everyone, friends & family. I will miss him all the days of my life and think of him until I take my last breath.

  • I feel blessed that I have become part of a wonderful family that Michael was such an important part of. He was a genuinely kind, sincere, intelligent man and his character is so evident in his bright son and beautiful daughter. Diane has shown great strength and resolve to keep the memory of Michael alive and I wish her and her childern peace and solace during these trying times. With love, Diana

    Diana Gonzalez, Friend
  • I had the pleasure of working with Mike and then for him. Not only was he a great person with and for. He was a great person to be with. Although age was practically the same. He was like a brother to me. He some how always had the right advice to give whatever the situation was. He truly was and will always be one of the greatest person I have ever gotten to know. Diane you married the nicest person on God’s Green Earth. I miss you Mike. You were a great boss to work for and a good friend to have.

    Vinzi, Co-Worker
  • I always told Diane that friends are the family you choose for yourself. Do you know how lucky I felt that she met someone like you!! You became an important part of my family. We shared so many good time and lots of laughs. I will never forget our BBQ’s, Saturday night Chinese food, Breakfast at the diner, Disney World and all of our New Year’s Eve’s. I took for granted that we would have so much more to share together however, I will always feel extremely lucky to have been part of your life and I am so grateful that you were part of mine.

    You will be greatly missed but never forgotten!

    Mike your family will continue to be part of our lives we all love them very much!

    Love always,

  • Mike; You are truly missed not just by your family. But also by your friends and co-workers. I miss working with you. But most of all I miss just being able to talk to you about just anything. I wish you were still here. I miss you Mike. I hope to see again some day.

    Vinzi, Co-Worker
  • I only dealt with Mike for a short time but I found that he was a pleasure to work with.

    Virginia Pfeiffer, co-worker
  • i loved my uncle michael. he was one of the best uncles ever. i will always remember him. i remember the last time i saw him. i remember his birthday. we will celebrate even though he is not here. i wish that he would just come back to us and i just want to say i loved him. my two wishes were for my pokemon to be alive and for my uncle michael to come down from heaven. i just want him to come back to us.

    Victoria Lynn Cleary, goddaughter/niece/7yrs. old
  • Michael,
    Tell me how do I go on without you, I don’t know. I know we weren’t “huggy-kissy” siblings, but I love you so. You are on my mind most of the time, most of the days. This is so painful, when will the pain subside. I miss your face and your voice. I miss our “deep” conversations, although just occasional, they were always about the important things in our lives. I wish you would come back into my dreams.I’m angry and that we were cheated out of time, and that Angelina and Christopher especially are cheated out of really knowing you. There is a reason you are godfather to both my children, I trusted you with my life and I respected the man you were. I will never fear dying, knowing that I will be with you, my wonderful brother.

    Joann Massaroli - Cleary, Sister
  • Diane, last December I was introduced to Michael and then I realized why John liked him so much. He had a very quiet, sincere, kind demeanor about him. John would always say how smart and what a great asset he is to Cantor. He would also say that you and I would get along great; “Us four should go to dinner one night.” Well that night never happened. Unfortunately, we came to know each other through this horrible tragedy, but a friendship blossomed. We always have each other to lean on-a bond which could never be broken. I try to believe they are all together in a better place.
    Michael and Angelina: You always have a friend in myself, John, and Jule. Their legacies will live on through you. Be proud of your dad for he loved you so much.

    Helene Gnazzo, Friend
  • It was a privilege to have had Michael for a son-in-law. He was a good husband to our daughter Diane and a devoted father to Michael & Angelina. They were blessed to have him with them but tragic it was for such a short time. He shared a very special place in our hearts, leaving a void that can never be filled. Our only consolation is in his two beautiful children. He was so intelligent & easy to please. Some of my memories are doing construction projects in his home. He was not much of a carpenter but was always willing to learn. Although he would help me, I knew he would rather be watching sports on TV, but he stayed with the project.
    Michael was one of the nice people.
    My wife and I miss him so much.

  • On Sept.11, we not only lost our next door neighbor, we lost a friend who had become part of our family. Michael, Diane, Michael and Angelina have been our next door neighbors for the last 6 years. We are going to miss our talks with Michael thru the fence in our yard, or watching him walk down the block coming from work. On Super Bowl Sunday, Michael would always make the boxes for the pool. But most of all we are going to miss the gentle, softspoken man who loved to play games with his son and being with his wife. Michael, you are truly missed by us. You are always in our prayers and may you be at peace. The Arcurias

I STILL CAN’T BELIEVE THAT SOMEONE AS SWEET AND KIND AS YOU WANTED TO MARRY SOMEONE LIKE ME. NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENED IN LIFE I KNEW THAT YOU WERE ALWAYS ON MY SIDE EVEN IF YOU DIDN’T AGREE WITH ME. MARRYING YOU WAS THE BEST THING THAT I HAVE EVER DONE IN MY LIFE. I LOVE YOU AND I KNOW THAT YOU ARE IN THE MOST GLORIOUS AND BEAUTIFUL PLACE WHICH IS WHERE YOU BELONG. I PROMISE YOU THAT I WILL DO MY BEST TO RAISE MICHAEL AND ANGELINA AS KIND AND COMPASSIONATE HUMAN BEINGS LIKE YOU WERE. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART UNTIL THE DAY I LEAVE THIS EARTH AND I’M GOING TO TRY TO BE A BETTER PERSON SO I CAN GET TO BE WITH YOU AGAIN. DIANE

  • Michael – On this your anniversary day, I think of you, you and Diane and what a beautiful couple you were. You became so complete when you married Diane and I never saw you as happy. I feel fortunate that Diane and I have been as close as we are and will continue to be and I promise to always be there for your children and of course, Diane. Diane, you have been such a close friend, as well as sister-in-law to me over the years and I hope we remain as close, if not closer. I love you like a sister. Michael, I miss you so much.

  • MIKE (MAZ)

    I’VE KNOWN MIKE FOR 8 YEARS OF MY LIFE, 7 OF WHICH I HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF WORKING SIDE BY SIDE WITH. MIKE WAS THE SMARTEST, QUICKEST THINKING, CARING, THOUGHTFUL, MOST HELPFUL PERSON I’VE EVER MET. MIKE TAUGHT ME EVERYTHING HE KNEW ESPECIALLY ABOUT COMPUTERS. HE WAS A WIZ, A WIZ AT ANYTHING. I LEARNED VERY MUCH FROM THIS GREAT FRIEND OF MINE THAT I WILL NEVER FORGET. WE SHARED A MILLION LAUGHS TOGETHER AT THE OFFICE AND GONE TO MANY EVENTS ENJOYING LIFE TO ITS FULLEST. WE KNEW EACH OTHER LIKE THE BACK OF OUR HANDS. MIKE ALWAYS SAID I WAS LIKE THE BROTHER HE NEVER HAD AND I WAS ALWAYS HAPPY TO BE THAT TOWARDS HIM. MIKE IS NOW IN THE BEST COMPANY YOU COULD EVER BE IN, WITH GOD ALMIGHTY. MIKE WAS THE BEST FRIEND I EVER HAD MOSTLY FOR HIS HONESTY. I’LL MISS TALKING TO MIKE AND OF COURSE HIS ADVICE ON JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING. I KNOW LIFE MUST GO ON BUT WITHOUT MIKE LIFE WILL BE THAT MUCH MORE DIFFICULT TO LIVE. 1 DAY WE’LL ALL BE TOGETHER. AMEN…….. YOUR FRIEND ALWAYS JIM BUONANNO

    JIM BUONANNO, FRIEND/CO-WORKER
  • I worked with Mike during his first go around with Cantor which was an adventure in itself, we used to have quite a good time back then. I was lucky enough to be around. When Mike and Diane got together at Cantor, I remember all the nights we used to go out after work and the fun we used to have. We were a close group of friends back then.
    Diane my heart goes out to you and your family you will be in my prayers forever.

  • Michael
    Merry Christmas. I miss you so much more than words could ever describe. You are with me always and not a minute goes by when I don’t think of you. Although this Christmas was especially difficult, I know you are with our family in spirit – I have to believe that, I mean where else would you be…The love that I have for you, and all our family has for you, is a love that is true and unconditional. Be with me always,
    Love, Joann

    Joann, Sister
  • Diane, I didn’t really know Mike that well but I knew his reputation. Mike struck me as a sweet, easy-going guy who was very well liked by his co-workers. I’m sorry I never got the chance to work more closely with him. I actually got to know you better once you left Cantor to work for Tucker, and would call me everyday to confirm trades. I believe your beautiful children will give you the strength to go on. Mike lives through them everyday. I keep you all in my prayers always.

    Kerry Ferrara, Former co-worker
  • DEAR MICHAEL,

    ALWAYS A KIND AND LOVING PERSON. WE ALL MISS YOU AND PRAY FOR YOU. WE WILL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR YOUR FAMILY. GOD BLESS YOU IN HEAVEN.

  • Once again, I am up at this insane hour of night thinking of you. Where, how, why, mostly, the WHY? I miss you dearly, miss your voice, your “hey Joann”, miss your dry sense of humor, your laugh, your cough, just you…..Be with me always as a piece of me is with you. You are irreplaceable, there will never be another you.
    Love, Joann

  • Michael and I were close friends in elementary school (PS 186, Brooklyn). After we graduated, we each went to different schools. When we were in sixth grade, my father was able to obtain tickets for a Giants game, who were playing at the Yale Bowl at the time. I was not friendly with anyone at my new school, so I invited Michael. We had a wonderful time that day. That was probably the last time I ever saw him. I remember as a terrific young man. I’m sure he was a wonderful father, brother, husband and son. It is unfortunate that he was taken away at such a young age, as was his father. It is also unfortunate that it took an event such as this to remember him. Rest in Peace.

  • HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY. I LOVE YOU AND I THINK ABOU YOU EVERY SECOND OF EVERY DAY. I WISH YOU WERE HERE SO THAT I COULD MAKE YOU YOUR BIG BASKET OF CANDY THAT I DO EVERY YEAR. MY HEART IS WITH YOU ALWAYS. DIANE

  • HELLO MICHAEL, IT’S COUSIN MICHELE, IT HAS BEEN A WHILE SINCE I HAVE WROTE TO YOU, BUT NOT ONE DAY GOES BY THAT I DO NOT THINK OF YOU OR LOOK AT YOUR PICTURE. IT HAS BEEN 5 MONTHS SINCE THE DAY THAT WE LOST YOU AND IT DOES NOT GET EASIER. I DON’T TALK ABOUT IT MUCH BECAUSE IT ONLY BRINGS ME DOWN AND WHEN I THINK OF YOU I WANT TO REMEMBER THE GOOD TIMES WE HAD, LAUGHING, TELLING JOKES, ETC..MICHAEL YOU LIVE IN MY HEART EVERYDAY, I MISS YOU VERY MUCH, WATCH OVER US AND KEEP US STRONG……LOVE YOU MICHELE

    MICHELE, COUSIN
  • As I listen to Billy Joel, I think of you and how you love his music. It is hard for me to talk of you in past tense because you are still here with me. I love you, I miss you, give me courage to get through this life that has dealt such pain and sorrow. Watch over me and help me get by.

    Joann, Sister
  • Mike was one of the greatest people I knew. He was always willing to help you find ways of getting your job done faster and more accurate. Diane, Mike loved you and his children very much. He would always speak highly of you and his children. Mike was the kind of person who never had a harsh word to say about anyone. If you had a problem, whether it was related to work or personal, he would take the time out to listen to you and try help you any way he could. Diane, you and I knew each other before you and Mike started dating. If you ever feel like talking, please don’t hesitate to give me a call or send me an email. Always remember that Mike loved you and his children more than anything in the world. There was nothing he wouldn’t have done for his family to make sure they were well taken care of and happy.

    Vinzi, Co-worker/friend
  • It has been six months since that horrible day. I was a neighbor before, now I am a friend. I want to help out and be there for you. I love to spend time with little Michael. I worry about you Diane. Please don’t ever feel alone. I am always right here for you and your children. You are the srongest woman I have ever known. Michael and Angelina are so very lucky to have you for a mom. You are making your husband very proud.
    Much love,

  • TODAY IS 6 MONTHS AGO THAT I LOST YOU. PEOPLE TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD GET EASIER WITH TIME BUT THAT ISN’T TRUE. THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS THAT I MISS ABOUT YOU, BUT I MISS SHARING MY LIFE WITH YOU THE MOST. EVERYTIME MICHAEL GETS 100% ON A SPELLING TEST OR ANGELINA SAYS DA DA OR MA MA I HAVE NO ONE TO SHARE IT WITH. I’M TRYING HARD TO KEEP THINGS TOGETHER HERE, BUT IT’S REALLY HARD. THE PAIN GETS WORSE WITH THE PASSING OF EACH DAY. I CAN’T IMAGINE HAVING TO GO A WHOLE LIFETIME WITHOUT YOU. MICHAEL YOU WERE AND STILL ARE EVERYTHING TO US. WE MISS YOU SO MUCH. PLEASE WATCH OVER US AND HELP US TO GO ON WITHOUT YOU. PLEASE SAVE US A PLACE IN HEAVEN RIGHT NEXT TO YOU. WE LOVE YOU AND YOU WILL LIVE FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS AND MINDS.

  • Mike,
    Anthony and I can not believe that you are gone. Even though we only knew you 4 years it felt longer. You are a great person. I can remember all those times I came to the bowling alley to watch you and Anthony and Paul bowl and how we used to watch the Mets on tv in the bar. I miss seeing you on the 8x at night. Anthony and I often think of you and when we do there is some sadness, but also we think of the fun times that we shared.

    Anthony and Laurieann Barberio, Friends
  • Dear Michael:
    When I think of you I remember the gentle, kind person you were to everyone. I know our family has a guardian angel looking down on us to keep us all strong for each other. We are here for your family and will always be. You will always be in our thoughts and prayers. Cousin, Marietta

  • I CAN’T BELIEVE IT’S BEEN 6 MONTHS SINCE U HAVE BEEN GONE. IT WOULD PROBABLY BE THE 23RD WEEK OF BOWLING BY NOW AND WE WOULD PROBABLY BE FIGHTING FOR 1ST PLACE BUT NOW WE ARE FIGHTING JUST TO COPE WITH NOT HAVING U AROUND. I HAVE ONLY BEEN TO THE BOWLING ALLEY ONCE SINCE THAT TRAGIC DAY. I AM SO GLAD THAT I GOT THE CHANCE TO BOWL WITH YOU ONE LAST TIME. YOU WERE A GOOD BOWLER AND I ENJOYED THE FOUR YEARS THAT I BOWLED WITH U. I WILL CONTINUE TO CHEER THE NY METS ON FOR THE BOTH OF US.

    I regret never having the honor to have met you.In reading the words of all your loveds ones in a large sense I feel I do know you. I am a friend of your father-in-law. I am so deeply saddened by your family’s loss. My beloved cousin Gregory also joined you in heaven that day our lives were changed forever. I know you two angels are looking out for us. Michael, I pray that your family will gain strength from their memories of you and how you touched all their lives. You and your family will always be in my prayers and never be forgotten. To you and all the other angels may God rest all your wonderful souls.

    TODAY IS OPENING DAY AT SHEA AND AS I SIT HERE WATCHING THE GAME WITH MICHAEL, I CAN’T HELP BUT THINK ABOUT HOW EXCITED YOU USED TO BE. IT’S SO HARD TO TRY AND KEEP A HAPPY FACE ON FOR MICHAEL WHEN INSIDE MY HEART IS BREAKING. HE ASKS ME SO MANY BASEBALL QUESTIONS AND I DO MY BEST YO ANSWER BUT NO ONE KNOWS MORE ABOUT THE METS THAN YOU. I JUST HOPE I DON’T TELL HIM ANYTHING THAT’S NOT RIGHT. I THINK YOU WOULD HAVE LOVED THE TEAM THIS YEAR BUT THEN AGAIN YOU LOVED THE TEAM EVERY YEAR. I WILL ALWAYS TREASURE OUR GREAT TIMES AT SHEA AND KEEP THEM CLOSE IN MY HEART. LET’S GO METS!! DIANE

  • Dear Diane
    Although I could never truly understand the pain you have experienced, I know that your heart is broken and your pain will not be healed today or tomorrow; but please be comforted in knowing that Michaels spirit will never be forgotten. His warmth, intelligence, kindness and care has been transfered to your children; and Heaven is shining a little brighter now that Michael is there.

    Michael will never be forgotten.May this terrible time pass quickly so that soon you can remember him without so much pain. I love you and will always be there to support you, little Michael and Angelina.

  • Hey Michael, just thinking about you like every other day that goes by…especially when I am bowling. You never got the chance to show me what I do wrong when I am up there ready to throw the ball, we always said we were going to go and now we can’t because you are not here anymore, and I miss you so very much. Our family is lost without you, remember that you are always in our hearts and in our minds; we love you and miss you. Watch over us and be our guardian angel….You’re in my dreams and you tell me that you are ok all the time so make sure you come into them every now and then and let me know that…love you and miss you….Cousin Michele

    Your words and sentiments are so touching — they have brought tears to my eyes just reading them. Michael must have been a wonderful person, husband and father.

    Dianne, please know that you are in my prayers. Although we have never met, I feel as though I know you. I too am a wife of 8 yrs, and mother of a young toddler. Thank you for allowing me to read your conversations with Michael. Your words have given me the ability to be a better wife and mother. I pray that God will bless your children, and give you all the strength you need to survive.

I JUST HEARD YOUR NAME ANNOUNCED AT THE MEMORIAL AND SAW DIANE HOLDING YOUR PICTURE UP FOR THE WORLD TO SEE WHAT A GREAT AND HANDSOME MAN SHE IS MARRIED TO. YOU WOULD BE SO PROUD OF HER. SHE IS SO AMAZING AND A GREAT MOM. SHE DOES SO MUCH. SHE EVEN TAKES THE KIDS TO THE MET GAMES (WHO ARE IN LAST PLACE BY THE WAY). MICHAEL IS SUCH A YOUNG MAN. HE IS “SO YOU” ALTHOUGH HE DID GO SWIMMING IN THE DEEP END OF MY POOL. ANGELINA IS AN ANGEL FROM ABOVE. SHE IS BEAUTIFUL AND COOKY LIKE HER MOM. DIANE MAKES SURE SHE ALWAYS KNOW HER DAD. SHE SAYS DA DA CONSTANTLY. AS RUDY ONCE SAID”THEY HAVEN’T LOST THEIR DAD BECAUSE YOU ARE INSIDE OF THEM” AND THAT’S THE TRUTH!
    TONY AND I HAD A BABY GIRL…ALEXA NICOLE. I WISH SHE COULD HAVE MET YOU. SOMEDAY I’LL TELL HER ALL ABOUT YOU. WE ALL MISS YOU SO MUCH AND KNOW YOU ARE WATCHING EVERYTHING. YOU ARE IN OUR HEARTS FOREVER. 9/11/02 KAREN, TONY AND ALEXA

  • I just found out about this website and I think it is a beautiful idea. My thoughts are always with Diane and your family. I am always thinking back of the times that we would play games at Karen’s house. I am sorry I lost contact with Diane and all my friends but my heart and thoughts are always with them. Michael, I saw your children a year ago and they are absolutely beautiful. I know you are deeply missed by everyone. I really don’t know what else to say but that you and Diane are in my thoughts always.

  • I worked with Mike at Liberty. He was a great guy and very funny. He is missed by more people than you know.

  • Michael,I cant believe a year has passed. I hope you are at peace.We miss you enormously. But seeing your wonderful Family helps ease some of the loss.What I miss most is knowing you are not here to share in how your children have grow Michael is always getting smarter everyday and seeing him always reminds me of you.Angelina is such a beautiful girl and seeing her do all these new things I just wish you were there.Diane is doing a great job with them I know you would be proud.You are always in our prayers and a day does not go by that we do not think of you.You touched all of our lives and my family will never forget you.

    DIANE MASSAROLIi, WIFE
  • Mike, We have never met. As I walked into my job in San Diego this morning I was given a sticker with your name on it in memory of you. As I worked throughout the day I constantly wondered who you were. When I got home I looked you up on the internet and saw all of the wonderful things people had to say about you. It is obvious that you were a wonderful: father, husband, brother, friend, and coworker. I am honored to have been able to wear your name in memory of your life. You would be proud of your Jets on opening day. They played a great game. They definitely had you looking out for them. I am a Charger fan myself but have a healthy respect for the Jets. They are a great team. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

  • Michael,

    I can’t believe a year as passed, so much has happened yet our hearts are still not healed. We all miss you so much, even Cristina mentions you often I tell her that you are watching over her and your family in heaven. Since she is so young it was very hard for her to understand but I explained that you were up with the angels and very much all around us. We can feel it most whenever we are in the presence of your children (especially little Michael). I wish you could see how cute Angelina and Vincent are together you can tell that someday the will be great friends just like Cristina and Michael. Diane is doing her best everyday and I pray for her to start healing. But I understand because it is hard for Joe and I and would never ever compare the pain that she is feeling.

    There has not been a day that goes by that we do not think of you or talk of all the great times we have had. You sorely missed and you memory goes on with your beautiful family.

    Love and friendship always,

  • Diane, I have been reading all the memorials on this site, but I feel compelled to write to you. It’s so obvious Michael was loved, and I’m sure he knows how much he is missed. I know he must have a deep love for you and his children. I hope you can move on, with him inside your heart, and someday live a happy life. Be strong, and know he’s sending love to you everytime you see sunshine.

    Christina, Canadian Stranger with prayers
  • Dear Diane,

    I have never met you, but I’ve been reading your tributes and messages over the past several months, and I have been deeply touched…the love you have for your husband and the strength you possess are truly remarkable and an inspiration for me to be a better person. Your children are so lucky to have you as a Mom. I lost someone I loved two years ago, and I miss him. Him and Michael seemed to have a lot in common. He was funny, warm, smart and a die-hard Met Fan! Please know that you are in my prayers. May God bless you and your angel Michael continue to watch over you from his special corner in Heaven.

  • I can’t believe that it’s over a year that this disaster happened. I miss you Mike. You were a good boss and a good friend. WE always use to call each other and joke around about the Mets and Jets. How they needed to make some changes to improve the team. I knew I could alway call and ask you just about anything. I wish I could call you now just to say Hello and ask you how you been and everyone else. When ever I had a problem whether it was work relate or personal you alway take the time to listen. I never thought that 9/10/01 would be the last time I would be able talk to you. Until we all see each other again I’ll keep thinking about everyone.

    VINZI, Co-worker/Friend
  • My dear Michael – It’s been so long and yet it hasn’t. I don’t know who said time would heal this pain, it doesn’t. The reality of missing you has set in and it is brutal.I miss your face, your laugh, your everything. You are here always and always in my dreams and I believe that to mean something (even though I know you’d say I’m crazy). Our family goes on, and yet it has ceased to in so many ways. You wouldn’t believe your die-hard Yankee fan of a brother-in-law has a Met hat hanging up with your picture over it. He even rooted for them – imagine that. Chris talks about you all the time, Victoria talks about you all the time, Mommy and I always share a laugh over something funny you did or said and of course me – I think about you all the time, not an hour goes by without some thought of you, something we did as kids, or something you said. I am thankful that I have Diane to share in these thoughts and dreams. She is wonderful and like you said to her and I in my dream “she is doing a great job” and she is. You are forever in my soul and we will keep you alive forever. Help us and give us strength to bear this. Forever my brother as I am your forever sister, I love you

TODAY WAS MICHAEL’S COMMUNION, HE LOOKED SO HANDSOME IN HIS NAVY SUIT, YOUR DAUGHTER SO PRETTY IN HER WHITE DRESS AND DIANE LOOKED UNBELIEVABLE. SHE TAKES SUCH GOOD CARE OF THEM. SHE THREW A GREAT PARTY AT ANGELINA’S RESTAURANT, ALTHOUGH YOU WERE SURELY MISSSED. EVEN TONY WAS TALKING ABOUT YOU ON THE WAY HOME, HOW YOU WOULD’VE BEEN CARRYING ANGELINA AROUND AND TALKING TO HIM ABOUT WORK. I GUESS I DON’T HAVE TO TELL YOU ALL ABOUT THE PARTY BECAUSE I HEARD YOU’RE ALWAYS AROUND ON SPECIAL OCCASIONS AND I BELIEVE YOU WERE THERE GIVING DIANE STREGNTH BECAUSE SHE SURE HAS A TON OF IT.

  • Michael – As father day passed, I thought of you, as I do constantly and I know you are with daddy. I know as he looks over me, you are looking over Michael and Angelina. Now, as today is your 40th birthday, I think of your face, your laugh, your half smile, your jokes. I miss you so much and life is different without you. How I wish I could see you blow out your 40 candles. There is a huge void as Olivia’s christening approaches – that void is you. I know that you are an angel on her shoulder, she always stares at your picture and I know she must sense you here. I know Angelina feels that same sense. You can be so proud of Diane, she is doing an unbelievable job with the kids and with everything. The children are incredible. You are constantly with me – Chris always speaks of you, like “oh man, if your brother could see this…” or “your brother would have loved this….” I pray to you so many times, asking for your guidance and I will always be with you and I know you are always with me in some way, shape or form. I love you. Always, your sister…

  • I worked with Mike Mazz at Tullett from 1993-1995. He was truly one of the nicest and smartest people I’ve ever met. I live in San Diego now and I guess I’ve just been too scared for the last two years to look closely at the names, so I just found out today, on the eve of the second anniversary, that this wonderful man is gone. My deepest sympathies to his family. Mike and I always argued Mets-Yankees, but I would rather have the Mets beat the Yanks in the World Series every year than to have found out Mike is gone.

  • Michael – My tears flow for you so often. I miss you so much. I hope even though we didn’t often express our feelings, you know how I feel about you. I have a huge void in my heart, you can never be replaced. The reality of you not being here is sometimes too much to bear, yet somehow we put one foot in front of the other and go on. I am so often angry that life has gone on without you and so incredibly sad to not have you with me, and of course, Diane and the kids. It is just too unfair for words to ever express. I am so glad you met and married Diane. Diane, I know we will forever be best friend/sisters. I love you.

I WISH SHE CAN TRY TO GO FORWARD WITH HER LIFE AND TRY TO SEEK SOME SORT OF HAPPINESS. IT KILLS ME TO SEE HER SUFFER SO MUCH. I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO FOR HER.

  • Michael – Merry Christmas. Time goes by and sometimes I’m angry that it does go on without you. It’s not right and never will be. Nothing can ever make this okay. You not here will never be okay. I miss you so much and think of you a million times a day. I just put up a picture I found of you with Michael and Victoria when they were about 2 and 3 yrs. old and I would do anything to turn back the clock to that time. I still cannot grasp that you are not here and I will never see your face or hear your voice. Holidays, along with everything are not the same. My memories of you waking me up at 5 a.m. on christmas to open our santa gifts when we were kids have now become one of the so many memories I hold onto so dearly. My life somehow goes on, but the sadness remains now and always. I love you and miss you forever….. Your sister, Joann

You were such a smart and kind hearted kid and as I have seen your family “on TV” I can very cleary see the apple has not fallen far from the tree. Diane, Michael and Angelina there are no words to describe your lost and pain, but how blessed you three are to have had (and still have) him be a part of your life.

I don’t ever want anyone to forget you or to forget that you were ripped from our lives in such a disgusting way.

I know somehow you come to us to give us strength and I know for sure we all need your strength, Mommy, myself and especially, Diane. You are in my thoughts throughout everyday of my life and always will be. You are irreplaceable and I love and miss you so much. You were so much more than just my brother.

  • My Uncle Michael was one of the nicest people I ever knew. He always made me smile no matter what. Almost like a second father to me. I miss him very much and hope he’s in a better place. I know that we’ll all see him again someday. I find myself saying “It’s only a dream,he’s still with us.” but that would be selfish of me. He’s probably very happy where he is right now and misses us as much as we all miss him.

  • Time marches on and not much seems to change. I miss you so much. Wish you could be here to talk baseball; wish you could be here to hear about christopher’s first hit at his first game; wish you could be hear for all the milestones of our wonderful children; wish you could be here to share in my successes and failures; wish you could be here to heal the broken hearts of mommy me and Diane. As Diane and I talk about something funny you did or said, it is as though it was yesterday – that’s how we want to keep it. You were such an integral part of our world Michael. I am sick of life going on without you. I know it must – I know people have to move forward, but I hate that you are not here. I could still hear your voice and your laugh, even your cough – that will never fade. We will continue to speak of you ALL THE TIME, and your memory will be kept alive for always. Be with us to help guide us. I will always be proud to be called your little sister.

    Joann, Sister
  • How I miss those big easter dinners – they were always fun, full of laughs – full of loads of easter baskets (especially for michael and victoria). Remember how we tried to figure out the frothing on the cappuccino maker and decorated the kitchen. I miss you.

    Joann, Sister
  • My dear brother – Another father’s day approaching, another birthday approaching – another year of those events without you here. It is not right and there is nothing that will ever make it okay that you are not here with us. I miss you terribly and I am so sad so much of the time thinking of all we are missing out on. Our children are growing and life is moving on and I know those are all good things, but things that aren’t the same without you. Happy Father’s Day and Happy Birthday. Love you and Missing you Always, Your Sister

    Joann, Sister
  • Michael – Another year of father’s day and your birthday approaching. Another year of us without you here for those things. I miss you so much sometimes it takes my breath away, still and always will. The kids are growing and life is moving on and I know those are all good things, but not the same without you here. I will never stop missing you, never stop talking about you and I will ALWAYS keep your memory alive. So, Happy Father’s Day – Happy Birthday – I love and miss you so much. Your loving sister……Joann

  • September, 2007
    Another year gone by, I simnply can’t conceive. Michael, I really think it is possible that you may have been too good for this world. I still have no answers, no comfort, no “closure”. I have none of the things that should usually come after some time. Maybe it is the bond between siblings – one that can never be broken or replaced. I feel so alone at times and so completely ripped off. Sometimes I think I’m just angry at the entire world for taking you from me. We miss you terribly. Life is not the same, I am not the same. Everyone seems to move on and it is not fair. Life is not fair – I think you and I know have experienced that and know that too well. Now I have to believe that you are with Daddy. When I really slow down and then stop and think about that loss, my loss, my dear and only brother and my wonderful father, it rocks me to my core. 9/11/08 the entire day, will be spent, as always, reflecting on your memory and the wonderful memories you’ve given to me from childhood up. I love you and miss you so much more than all of these words could ever say. Please look out for all of us – Mommy really needs you. Your Loving Sister, Joann

    Joann, Sister
  • 9/11/07
    We will never forget you today or any other day of this life. This morning, I will relive that dreadful morning and hold my breath as that first moment of silence occurs. To me that moment is when we lost you. I can play back that entire day as if it were yesterday. It will always remain that way. Help us through Michael. Watch over our children, guide them and give them strength and courage through their life. Always and forever, your sister…..

    Joann, Sister
  • 9/11/07. I CAN’T BELEIEVE IT’S BEEN 6 YEARS. I STILL KEEP LOOKING FOR YOU WHEN I’M GOING TO WORK IN THE CITY. THE METS ARE STILL IN FIRST PLACE. HOPEFULLY THIS WILL BE THE YEAR.
    YOUR FAMILY IS DOING GREAT BUT I KNOW THEY ARE STILL HURTING AND MISSING YOU. WE REMAIN VERY CLOSE AND WE WILL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR THEM.
    YOU ARE DEFINITELY IN A BETTER PLACE. JUST KEEP LOOKING DOWN, SO YOUR PRESENCE IS FELT.

    ALWAYS ON OUR MINDS,

  • Joann guided me to your webpage and my heart aches for the pain that the family is feeling. Because of 9/11 and loss of life such as Michael’s my husband chose to go to Afghanistan to do his part in this war on terrorism. Sadly, my beloved John was killed (8/29/2004) and I can relate to your grief. May you know that when it feels as though everyone is moving on, they are not. We move FORWARD and we take our wonderful loved ones through memories and pictures with us…. May God Bless the Massoroli family and may God Bless America. Michelle

  • Michael – Just thinking of you as I do everyday. With so much going on in my life, I wish you were here for so many different reasons. Things were not supposed to be this way, this I know, but as life goes on, the thing that ALWAYS remains is the void that is your absence. Help me get through these tough times – watch over us…

    Michael – Happy Father’s Day & Happy Birthday. Still missing you. It is just that the more things change, the more they stay the same – you know what I mean. Always reminiscing about things in my head. I miss so many things about you being here. Everything changed for us that second you were gone. All of our lives changed forever. It’s so unfair and we would do anything to turn back the clock. You are with me always. Keep looking after us all. Guide the children and be their guardian angel

    I cannot believe how much time has passed since that tragic day. For me, in many ways, time has stood still and in other ways, I know and understand that time and people move on. Words cannot express how much you are missed. Help me find my way and rid me of my resentments. You are and always will be one of a kind and I will ALWAYS honor your memory and cherish my memories of you. I have been told to celebrate life in honor of you and that is what I wish to do, but it continues to be a real struggle. Guide me and watch over all of our family and our children. We certainly need it.

  • When this tribute wall first went up, I browsed it and came across Michael’s page. What struck me was the love and respect I saw expressed for him. I have visited this page from time to time ever since. I cannot believe it’s been 7 years already.

    I see now that Dianne and Joann, you two post regularly. I just wanted you both to know that your words and tributes are still being read by others. I don’t know if that means anything to you, but your words have had an effect on my life and how I see Sept 11, 2001. I wish I had known Michael, and I wish you all much happiness.

    I, too want to echo the sentiments of the previous post. When this website first started I began browsing its countless pages, and came across this tribute to Michael. Even though he was a perfect stranger to me, something about him and how he was obviously so loved by many struck me; I still visit this page often to remind me of the precious lives that were lost on that tragic day.

    To Michael’s wife and family, your sorrow is shared by many, even by those who did not know this wonderful man. I will continue to keep you all in my prayers.

    Michael, today is 30 years since daddy has been gone and I swear I can remember like it was yesterday. I want so badly to believe you are together looking down on me. So many of my days I need my big brother or my dad and it continues to be so painful for me that you and he are not here with me. Our family unit that once was, is no more. I miss you so much and I miss daddy and wish he was able to be part of our lives. I try to be courageous most days, and have this real tough front going, but the hurt never leaves me…

    As always, 8 years, 8 months, 8 days, 8 minutes, 8 seconds… it’s all the same to me. Your loss is now as it was then and always will be – tremendous. Your absence in my life is felt everyday. I love and miss you terribly.

    Here we are again – another Christmas without my beloved brother. I miss you so much. Since we were little, Christmas Eve was always your favorite and as late as we got to sleep you would wake me up while it was still dark on Christmas morning – “he was here, he was here” you’d say to me. We were always so excited and so happy with what we got – we really didn’t have much but it was all okay. So much has changed, but what we shared stays with me always. I’ve changed in many ways, and I wish I could go back. Just know I carry you with me wherever I go. I love you.

    JOANN, SISTER
  • Hi Uncle Michael you probably already know this, but I’m going to be 16 in less than a month. I wish you were still here with us and a day doesn’t go by where I don’t think of your or how much we all miss you. I just wanted to let you know that I will be dedicating a candle just for you Aunt Diane is going to come up and light it. I love and miss you so much.

    Well, here we are again Michael – another birthday you are not here to celebrate and another father’s day gone. It always was a sad day for me since our childhood, but of course things changed as we grew, but once again, this date has me feeling like a girl just missing her brother and dad. There is the part of me that holds onto the belief that you are with daddy and all is well. Too much loss – I miss you terribly and you are never forgotten. My one, my only dear brother. Happy birthday, and Happy Father’s Day – Miss and Love You…..

    Here we are again. Time passes, pain remains. Time has helped not to diminish the loss of you, but has made me stronger and that has helped me to manage it. 9 years, 9 months, 9 days or 9 minutes would not make a difference – it is like yesterday for me. You are forever in my heart and I hope you are watching over us. I can certainly use the help! I love you and miss you terribly. You were my one and only irreplacable brother. Love, Joann

He was born one month before me and every day, when things are “hard”, I think of people who passed away in the 9/11 tragedy and think that things aren’t that hard at all. Stay strong.

    Here we are again Michael. No matter how much time passes, it does not minimize the loss of you from my life. Reminiscing about childhood days and looking at pictures of us always bring tears to my eyes. To have both you and daddy taken from me so young is unbearable at times. Life is not the same without you, and never will be, but I know time marches on. Please guide me through this difficult time in my life – I need my big brother. Love and miss you all of my days. Love, Joann

Please guide me through and keep me strong. Alhough I know you are smiling down as Michael and Victoria will both be venturing to the next chapter of their lives in college, I am sad and angry that you are missing out. Your kids are wonderful – You will forever be an angel in my heart and on our shoulders. I love you.

    Here we are once again. As always, time passes but the impact of your loss remains with me everyday of my life. I have finally started to let go of the anger and embrace the feeling of gratefulness. I know how lucky I am to have had you in my life AND to call you my blood. You are one of a kind. Although my heart aches as it takes me back to the horrific events of that day, I choose to remember all the positive things and embrace your legacy. Your light shines upon me always, I know that.

  • As I know time must move on, your light remains with us. Whether it’s the sadness in mommy’s eyes or the empty place at the holiday table, you are missed and never forgotten. Miss your dry sense of humor and memories shared. You are irreplaceable – love and miss you.
