Joseph A Ianelli's personal and professional lives were
taking off. The 28 year-old Hoboken resident and his fiancé,
Monica had decided they would marry on Sept 1st, 2002.
Three months prior to Sept 11th, 2001, Mr. Ianelli, an
accountant formerly with an architectural recruiting
company where he met Monica, went to work for a financial
services conglomerate Marsh & McLennan, on the 98th
Floor of 1 World Trade Center. September 11th was the
first day in his short time with Marsh that he went in
early to prepare for a 9am meeting.
Joseph
A. Ianelli, born on July 6th, 1973, was raised in Staten
Island, NY and attended The Monsignor Farrell High School
and graduated with an accounting degree from CSI in 1995.
At 6 feet 2 inches and about 190lbs, Joe was an avid sports
enthusiast, playing as well as watching baseball and basketball
and received College scholarships to play.
Joe
never got caught up in the materialistic side to life.
His family, friends and fiancé were the most important
things to him and whenever anyone needed something, Joe
was the first person to lend a hand. He would have given
the shirt off his back to help the people he loved. No
amount of help was ever too much.
At
his funeral, the message that his friends and family expressed
was clear; Joe had this ability to touch people's lives
like no one else. He never had a problem showing affection
and love and was open to receiving the same amount in
return. He was an easygoing, warm and gentle soul and
taught us all that the little things in life are the most
important.
Out
of a tremendous need to honor and remember him, Joe's
love, Monica, his family and friends have created, The
Joseph A. Ianelli Memorial Fund; which will provide financial
services to needy students each year at The Monsignor
Farrell High School, as a well as other charitable organizations
that need help.
Joe
leave's his parents, Joseph & Barbara Ianelli of Staten
Island,
Fiancé Monica of Hoboken, sister Jennifer Thompson
and brother-in-law Michael, his beautiful nephew Corey,
grandmother Theresa Capozzi, his Uncle Michael and Aunt
Margie; as well as cousins, Debi & John Guiffre and
kids, Denise & Richie Willis and kids, Michael &
Corinna Ianelli and kids and a great number of incredible
friends.
