"He never had an email, he never had a cell phone. That's the way he liked it. He was involved in a lot of things...a lot more things than I'd ever do. He decided he was going to retire...to come out to Long Island and do all the things we used to do as kids. He never go the chance. He was robbed."
"[He] would do anything for anybody and his faith. He had an infectious laugh. I think if you asked anybody that had met him, that would remind anybody of him now."
"Just a wonderful, caring, human being,"
Nicola Tanzi, 64, was beaten to death on Oct. 7 outside the Jay Street-MetroTech subway station while holding a door open. He worked for 15 years as a MetroTech public safety officer and volunteered at local churches, including St. Dominic's, Sacred Hearts of Mary and Jesus, and St. Stephen Roman Catholic Church. He lived quietly in Bensonhurst without a cell phone or email and had planned to retire in June and relocate to Long Island. More than 100 family and friends attended a wake after his cremation, remembering his kindness, infectious laugh and unwavering faith. He is survived by five brothers.
