DAVID
PAUL DERUBBIO, 38, of New York, was a city firefighter who loved
to make people laugh and often made himself the butt of the
joke. His sister recalls once at a family gathering, when the
guests were trying to watch television, DeRubbio impersonated
a lounge singer and belted out a rendition of "Mack the
Knife." "It was so stupid, but it was so funny,"
said his sister, Angela Tiberi. She said his "bright blue
eyes were so full of life and his smile irreplaceable."
DeRubbio is among those missing at the World Trade Center. His
wife, Lorraine, called her husband the funniest person she ever
met. "He made me laugh more than anyone," she said.
