"A beloved Italian churchgoer who was ruthlessly beaten to death outside a Brooklyn subway station was remembered for his kindness, cheerful laugh and unwavering faith, as more than 100 family members and friends gathered Friday night to honor his life. Nicola Tanzi, 64, was killed on Oct. 7 when a recidivist psycho savagely attacked him for no reason as the devout Catholic held a door open at the Jay Street-MetroTech Station - near where he had worked as a security guard for 15 years."
"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."
Nicola Tanzi, 64, was fatally attacked Oct. 7 while holding a door open at the Jay Street-MetroTech subway station near where he worked as a security guard for 15 years. He lived in Bensonhurst, had emigrated from Italy decades earlier, and volunteered at local churches while serving as a devoted parishioner at multiple Brooklyn parishes. More than 100 family and friends attended a wake where his cremated remains were displayed amid flowers and photos. Tanzi planned to retire and relocate to Long Island; he is survived by five brothers and was remembered for his kindness, infectious laugh and unwavering faith.
