Joseph M. Giaccone, 43, VP, Cantor Fitzgerald New York, Oct. 5 (Bloomberg) -- Joseph M. Giaccone, 43, vice president, Cantor Fitzgerald LP. He was Joe the chef. Joe the wine lover. Joe the gracious host. ``He loved to give people food,'' younger brother James told the Newark Star-Ledger. ``That's what he loved: a house jammed full of people, with him running from room to room serving everybody.'' Giaccone, his wife, and their two children, had just moved into their ``dream house'' in Monroe Township just seven months ago, with a fancy stove and oven he hand-picked. ``He just got his big new Viking oven,'' family friend Jim Day told the newspaper. Giaccone also brought enthusiasm to his job as head of telecommunications for ESpeed, Cantor Fitzgerald's electronic bond brokerage and trading unit. He was responsible for maintaining ESpeed's worldwide network, and was the catalyst behind the company's provisions for a ``disaster recover site'' in Rochelle Park, New Jersey -- a site that now allows ESpeed to continue doing business after the destruction of the World Trade Center offices. His wife said that on a clear day, she could see the World Trade Center from the front bedroom of their new house. ``Joe would always joke that he would flash the lights when he was coming home,'' she told the Star-Ledger. A memorial service was held Friday, Sept. 28.
