Richard G. Catarelli, employee of Marsh & McLennan, was a man of great faith and compassion. Prior to September 11th, 2001, he and his daughter Anamarie had just completed training to be youth ministers as a reflection of his devotion and dedication to the youth of the community. A cheerful and loving person, Richard's favorite line was "Keep Smiling" and his role model was the generous and energetic St. Vincent Pallotti.
Marsh and McLennan Companies has a very moving tribute page in his honor, with tributes from his wife and others close to him. It says more about this man than anything a random blogger like myself could ever say.

You do great credit to his memory, just by bringing more attention to Richard Catarelli. May the memory of his life live on.
Beautiful post. I agree with Wordsmith. Thank you. We must never forget any of these people. But I must admit, I was stunned by the number of unsung heroes!
