Hello Family,
I read a beautiful article on Ian in the Detroit Jewish news just now. You are all so brave and courageous. May God bless you all!

I met Ian on the links at Crestmont Country Club. We played many rounds together. You can learn a lot about a man's personality and character on the course. I always enjoyed his good company. He was an even-tempered, humorous guy, who always shared the sport's enjoyment and made a round better. I know he was devoted to his kids and declined golf invites to coach and attend their various activities. I have been collecting donations in my waiting room and matching them as a tribute to Ian for the past five years. The charity is Tuesday's Children (http://www.tuesdayschildren.org/). They support the children like Ian's who lost a parent on that day. Men like Ian should never be forgotten.

I remember Ian's smile, and, for some reason, his shoes.... I didn't know him well, but his smile was contagious, and I know how much he loved his wife and children. He just exuded that kind of brilliance that some men do, who love their families and friends. He was a good man.

I didn't really know Ian, but we attended the same high school, and I was on the social periphery of Ian's gang of guys. Everything I observed in him and his twin brother, Joel, was always of the most positive impressions. He seemed smart, very funny, and way too good-looking. I found a photo I had taken of Ian and his then-girlfriend from 1977, when we were at a mutual friend's party. I posted that photo on Facebook today, and the reactions have been plentiful and heartfelt. He clearly had a powerful impact on all who knew him. God bless his soul, and all good things to Ian's family.

Ian was one of a large group of friends that I spent some time with practically every day between the ages of 12 and 20. Once we became adults, our lives went in separate directions—with me to New England, and Ian to his fate. He was a terrific friend to have as a teenager, and he obviously grew up to become a wonderful man. My condolences to his family and to all who were touched by him.

I did not know him. I just want his family to know that people have not forgotten what happened that day. I want his family to know that people mourn for him that did not even know him. God bless your family.

I knew Ian for a few years during college, where we played intramural sports together and then hung out, having fun with his friend Scott Kasmere and brother Joel. I had not heard about his being in the Towers until today, as I have been reconnecting with friends from 30 years ago thru Facebook. I am truly shocked and saddened, but reading some of the comments above, I can only echo what a super friendly, personable, and uplifting presence he had. My condolences to his family and prayers for all his loved ones.

I am from Melbourne, Australia. I was in NYC in Sept 06. I took photos of the plaques made by the kids who lost one of their parents. I remember feeling very emotional at the time. I was looking back at the photos today. I saw Ian's name and thought I would look him up on the net. So I would like to wish you all a happy and safe 2009. I hope it brings you much happiness.

I miss you old friend. I miss the steaks and the cigars on my trips into town. I miss your humor and totally uplifting demeanor. I miss being able to call you and share a joke or story. Mate, I want you to know you that you will never be forgotten - by me or your many friends in the market.

I liked Ian a lot and he was one of the good guys. I only knew him from high school and his wild sense of humor.  May he rest in peace.
