Peter Siracuse, 29, Corporate Bond Broker, Cantor Fitzgerald New York, Oct. 5 (Bloomberg) -- Peter A. Siracuse, 29, corporate bond broker, Cantor Fitzgerald LP. Siracuse, of New York, was known as one of the most aggressive brokers in Cantor Fitzgerald's industrial corporate bond department, the Newark Star-Ledger reported. He developed in two years a client base that normally takes seven to assemble. ``He was young and he was hungry,'' said Siracuse's supervisor. ``He was definitely an up-and-coming star in the business.'' It was not unusual for Mr. Siracuse to start work at 7 a.m. and finish meetings with clients at 11 p.m., others said. He recalled that Siracuse used to point to a picture on his desk of his son, now 8 months old. ``Everything I do I'm doing for the little guy,'' many recalled him saying. Siracuse was born and raised in Bethpage, New York, the youngest of six children. He was a leading scorer for the Bethpage High School football team in the late 1980s and voted to the All Nassau County lacrosse team in 1990. He played football for Nassau Community College and Central Connecticut University before graduating from the State University of New York at Stony Brook. After college he worked as a high school history teacher and lacrosse coach but found it difficult to make ends meet, his brother told the Star-Ledger. ``He was pretty aggressive, so it was a natural move for him to go into the bond broker business,'' he said. ``It is extremely competitive and that's what got Pete's juices flowing.'' Siracuse is survived by his wife and his son; his mother; two brothers, and two sisters. A memorial service was held today in Manhattan.
