It has been 10 years but it seems like only yesterday. John was my cousin. We were 14 years apart in age and our lives took different paths but when I think about Sept 11 and what John faced, I am blown away by his bravery and the supreme sacrifice he made. While others ran from a burning building he ran towards it in an effort to help and rescue. Several months ago I happened to hear his partner (a fellow police officer) speak of him in an interview on NPR. It was a bittersweet gift to hear how he touched the lives of others and what he meant to them. I wish I had known him better. May he rest in peace and may his family have comfort knowing that he died a hero and was loved by so many.

John,

It was a honor and a privilege to have worked with you. Words can't say enough how each and every one at Passaic-Clifton misses you. I will never let your memory die.

He was a nice person.
He was helping me with every thing, and he took me shopping.
We were cousins for a long time when I was born.
He’d drop me off at school and pick me up from school.
He was nice to me, and helped me with my homework.
I just miss him a lot because he was my favorite uncle.
And my family misses him, too. Bye. I miss you.

Love,
Ashley

Post your memorial thoughts:

Share your feelings and memories of grief and sadness concerning the 9-11-2001 attack, or of positive memories.  If you knew this person, help us to build a small 'bio' of the person and share with us something about his/her life:

  • what kind of person he/she was, 
  • what nice points you remember about him/her, 
  • what kind of relationship you had with him/her, 
  • what you two perhaps did together, 
  • what he/she meant to you, 
  • or other things about him/her might be especially encouraging for other people.

This web site is intended solely as a means of allowing all of us to express our grief and sympathy in behalf of the people who lost their lives, and also our love and compassion towards those who lost loved ones and friends in the 9/11/01 tragedy. The site is strictly for memorial mentions of those who passed away in the tragedy, not of other people who have passed away.

Our hearts are very touched with concern in behalf of those people, and it is to them that we dedicate this web site. It is not our intent to venture into the realms of WHO should face judgement, to take responsibility for those terrible events, because we have no way of knowing for sure who all might fall into that category. Therefore, any letters or notes written passing judgment upon any person or group will not be published on this site. We do NOT want this site to be a base for expressions of hatred, but only for expressions of LOVE!

9-11Heroes.us is a personal effort, not a business, nor is the site dedicated to any specific person or persons. We will not post negative comments. Moreover, 9-11Heroes.us reserves the right to choose which comments to post and also to edit the comments for spelling, punctuation, grammar, or edit comments that are unkind or offensive in some manner. We are maintaining this site with our own money and time. We try to keep the advertisements to a minimum and we try to make them as unobtrusive as possible. The revenue goes back to maintaining this site.

Thank you for your understanding in these matters.
