Woodlawn Cemetery - Bronx, NY - Piccirilli This is one of the more personal monuments in Woodlawn. It is by the Piccirilli Brothers, and it is to one of their own. ‘In memory of our only beloved son. Ensign Nathan Q.T. Piccirilli who made the supreme sacrifice for his country at the battle of Ormac Bay, Philippine Islands on December 7th 1944.’ It is a moving monument for a man who met such a sad and early fate, made by a family that memorialized so many, so well. The Piccirilli Brothers were a family of renowned marble carvers and sculptors who carved a large number of the most significant marble sculptures in the United States. All the studios records were lost when their business quietly closed. ow.ly/i/51QPa
