A New York man was stabbed to death Saturday allegedly by an employee at the restaurant where he was celebrating his engagement, MyFoxNY reports.

Friends say Lacertosa was a hard-working man, and described him as a "big teddy bear" who would give his friends the shirt off his back.
Lacercosta and Bridgette were planning on getting married in eight months.
