I can't believe that this child has so little written about him. Eric, you didn't deserve what happened to you. As for why you were there... it doesn't really matter now. What does matter is that the world has been a darker place since the events of 9/11. I hope that you are in a much better place. Sweet Angel, Rest in Peace.

**Michael Edward Asher** was a victim of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. He was an employee of Cantor Fitzgerald Securities and was killed in the attack on the World Trade Center at the age of 53.

Mike Asher gave me my first chance in the USA. I finished school at Villanova, a fresh graduate out of school from India and Mike hired me on a strange connection he felt between my skills and the company. He is one of the best persons to shake a hand with; firm and genuine. He shook my hand and gave me my first job in the USA. I owe him that forever. I still remember his eyes as they glistened in excitement of the growing company. I have many occasions that I remember not liking him as part of my job, but the only lingering impression I have of him is his excitement toward opportunities. His eyes just light up. I like him because he is a genuine, fair and honest human being. What else does a person need to do to get to heaven?

John Joseph Murray: 'An irreplaceable human being'

As a child with red hair and an angelic face, John would win the hearts of all who met him.

He was an honor student at Salesianum and had outstanding character. He was an excellent athlete, playing baseball, basketball, lacrosse, hockey and golf. He was also a strong swimmer, serving as a Long Island lifeguard, often leading dangerous ocean rescues.

Following graduation from Boston College in 1990, John began a career as a New York City broker where he enjoyed considerable success. Still he found time for others.

In 1997, he launched "Putt for Progress," a foundation devoted to raising money for scleroderma research.

Through a friend, he was introduced to Rory Owens "as two people who should be together." Rory agreed. After their courtship, she accepted John's proposal, which came on one knee as they paused while jogging across the Brooklyn Bridge.

After their marriage, their employers gave them the opportunity to relocate to London. This enabled them to travel in Europe before returning for the birth of their daughter, Alyson Rose, in April 2001. John loved his life as a father.

His kindness, selflessness and honesty drew many people to him and he did his best to make time for everyone.

John was a wonderful son, a loving and devoted husband, father, brother and friend. We miss him greatly, but will carry on in his name and in his memory.

On Sept. 11, we lost a dearly loved family member. The world lost an irreplaceable human being.

- Philip and Mary Louise Murray, of Brandywine Hundred, father and mother.

Chris was on his way for vacation to California for the annual Great Pacific Coast Motorcycle Ride when he was lost on Flight 175.

## Tributes

UMass Chancellor Marcellette G. Williams:

The confirmation that Christoffer was aboard the flight that struck the second tower adds the piercing pain of familiarity to the profound sadness that his UMass family members are experiencing. We extend our arms and our hearts to Christoffer's family in the hope of providing some solace to their pain. Christoffer's sense of the human dimension of technology is one of the many enduring gifts he has given us. To him and to his family we say, 'Thank You.' His life has made ours the richer.
Randy Sailer, director of telecommunications for OIT:

Christoffer was extremely outgoing and friendly, and very popular within OIT. He worked well with both faculty and students and was a great ambassador for the University.
Alice Taylor, Rock Creek Morris Women:

Five years on, we remember the joy we shared with Chris and with dancer Steve Adams, also lost, when we danced, sang, and drank at the Marlboro Morris Ale. 9-11-06

Amy Jarret

**Amy N. Jarrett**, 28, of North Smithfield, R.I., was a flight attendant on United Airlines Flight 175, the second plane to crash into the World Trade Center. Jarret had worked for United for the past six years after graduating from Villanova University.

Aram Jarret loved everything about his daughter Amy's career as a flight attendant.

"She was the consummate professional," the 58-year-old North Smithfield, R.I. attorney said yesterday of his 28-year-old daughter, the third of his four children. "She was smart, professional, very helpful, and she had no hesitation about putting someone in their place."

After the horror of the news that Amy was a flight attendant on United Airlines Flight 175 settled in, Aram Jarret also formed an image of what might have happened as terrorists seized control of the flight.

"If there's a crisis, then she would always be one of those people you'd want with you," he said. "I don't know what happened up there, but she would have been one of those people trying to do the right thing.

"But what strikes me is just how senseless this whole thing is, and it's tragic that innocent people get caught in this," said Jarret. "She had no chance."

Francis Brennan

**Francis "Frank" Henry Brennan** was born in 1949, the oldest of the six children in the Brennan family.

Growing up in Rockville Center, New York, Brennan quickly grew to be an idol for his younger siblings. At a height of six feet, seven inches, he was a natural basketball player in high school and was nicknamed "Zelmo" after Zelmo Beatty, a popular basketball player at the time.

Brennan's career was jump-started fortuitously as a bouncer at local night clubs on Long Island. Before long, his natural talent allowed him to rise to the position of manager, and before leaving the business he was owner of several clubs, including Solomon Grundy's in Bay Shore.

For the last ten years of his life, Brennan worked as a senior vice president and limited partner at Cantor Fitzgerald as a government securities broker. He became an ardent supporter of the New York Police and Fire Widows' and Children's Benefit Fund headed by Rusty Staub, former New York Mets player and longtime friend.

On September 10, 2001, Staub and Brennan met for the last time to discuss plans for a November benefit for the wives and children of dead firefighters and police officers.

Brennan worked on the one-hundred and fifth floor of the World Trade Center. On September 11, 2001, he was amongst the thousands killed in a series of terrorist attacks carried out against targets in the United States. He was survived by his wife, mother, five siblings, and ten nieces and nephews.

He died at the age of 31 on American Airlines Flight 11 during the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, after allegedly being shot or stabbed. According to news reports of a phone call from flight attendant Betty Ann Ong, to Amy Sweeny at Logan International Airport, as Sweeny reported in turn to her manager, Michael Woodward, Lewin was sitting in seat 9B, and had his throat cut by the passenger in seat 10B at approximately 8:20. That passenger in 10B was later identified as Satam al-Suqami. The claim that Mr. Lewin was shot has been traced to an FAA memo outlining the sequence of events surrounding the hijacking, but has been repudiated on this point of fact by the FAA subsequently.

Danny Lewin co-founded Akamai Technologies, Inc. in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and was the Chief Technical Officer (CTO) and a board member. At the time of his death, he was a Ph.D. candidate at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and a resident of Brookline, Massachusetts.
He was said to have become a paper-billionaire when Akamai stock first became available.

Lewin was born in Denver, Colorado and raised in Jerusalem, Israel, where he served in Sayeret Matkal, a counter-terrorism unit of the Israeli Defense Forces, and graduated from Technion. He held dual U.S. and Israeli citizenship. After working at the IBM Haifa research laboratory, he moved to the United States. He was survived by his wife and two sons.

His parents visited him from Israel in the week before his flight.

Kathryn LaBorie

**Kathryn LaBorie**, 42, a flight attendant based out of Boston, worked only two routes: to Los Angeles and to San Francisco.

LaBorie's parents had the television on when it happened.

"I tried to call on her cellphone. It was just silence," her father, Gene Yancey, said Monday. "United called us fairly soon that day, 9:55 a.m. our time, but we knew."

Those who knew LaBorie, a 1975 graduate of Mitchell High School in Colorado Springs, used nearly identical words to describe her.

"She was a vivacious young lady," said Adams County Commissioner Ted Strickland, who met her in 1986 when she worked on his gubernatorial campaign.

"She was just charming and vivacious and a lot of fun," said JoAnn Groff, president of the Colorado Retail Council.

Survivors include her husband of two years, Eric, her parents and two brothers, Mark and Kevin.

"The theme is a celebration of Kathy's life," Yancey said. "We're going to make it as uplifting as possible."

Yancey, a retired Air Force officer, was stationed in Albuquerque when his daughter was born on March 14, 1957, a day after his wife celebrated her 22nd birthday.

"We always celebrated their birthdays together," Yancey said.

LaBorie was raised in Colorado Springs. After high school she attended the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. She later won a scholarship to the University of Denver.

LaBorie first joined Strickland's campaign as a volunteer, but later became a paid staffer, he said. It was during that time that she met Bill Schultz, the then-director of the retail council. The couple married and later divorced.

"A lot of people in Denver knew her through Bill," Groff said. "I just can't describe how much fun she was."

Strickland said that while flying to campaign stops, Laborie became friendly with the staff at Front Range Airport and went to work there.

LaBorie had worked for United Airlines for nearly seven years.

"She loved to fly," her father said. "There are no words to describe how we feel."

John Works

**John B. Works** always had his nose in a book. Or books - he usually had three or four going at a time, said his wife, Pamela Block Works. History books. Gold books. Economics books. Philosophy books. Historical fiction. (Dorothy Dunnett and Patrick O'Brian were favorites.) "And lots of junk - `Star Trek,' " she said.

On his bedside table are "Cryptonomicon," Neal Stephenson's novel about making and breaking codes, and Jack D. Schwager's "New Market Wizards: Conversations with America's Top Traders." Mr. Works, 36, had recently become a trader himself; in March, he rejoined the investment firm of Keefe Bruyette, where he had started his career as an analyst.

To house all those books, as well as their 3-year-old, Allison, the Workses were building a house on the site in Rowayton, Conn., where Mr. Works grew up. On weekends this summer, he would climb a ladder to the third floor, with its view of Long Island Sound. That floor was going to be his library, Mrs. Works said, "with a large porch off it, because he always wanted a widow's walk."

He worked for Keefe, Bruyette and Woods, Inc. and died in the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 during the terrorist attacks.

He attended Synge Street CBS ([[1]]) and Trinity College, Dublin. He taught at St. Andrews University, Scotland for a year.

Michael Simon

**Michael John Simon**, age 40, was from Harrington Park, N.J. He was an energy broker at Cantor Fitzgerald.

My name is Chris Klass. Michael was my brother in law. He was married to my wife's sister Eileen. Michael was a young, smart and loving man who valued his family over everything else. I miss him today as I did on the day he died. His death created a huge hole in all our lives. Some days its so deep it swallows my heart whole. I no longer believe that I or any of our family will every really learn to accept his death.

Maybe that is the price of love.
