I didn't know who you are, but my dad's last name is Vandevander, so maybe we were related. Even if we aren't, I'm still sorry for your death.

It has been along time, Jon. You and I were friends in college: Soccer, fraternity, roommates. We will all miss you. Judging by the legacy you have left, we could all learn many things. Take care, my friend, and Godspeed.

Jon was a client of mine when I was a just a girl in my early twenties starting my career in finance. I will never forget his kindness, the respect that he showed me and in turn that the men on his desk treated me with and all of the extra time that he spent teaching me about FX trading. Jon went out of his way to help me grow and become successful in my work. Over time, my job changed and Jon was no longer a client but I married and moved to Glen Rock and would often run into him on the train or the PATH. We kept in touch and he would update me on the news from the desk. I got the sense that he enjoyed "watching me grow up" so to speak from a nervous kid to a married woman commuting from the burbs and now confident in her career. I know that as these years have passed Jon's children who mean the world to him are growing up. I just want them to know that Jon's kindness and nurturing extended into his work life to and I can only hope that each of them has the very good fortune to meet someone along the way who will look out for them the way that their dad looked out for me. I think of Jon and his family often and although we've never met I want them to know that he touched my life and brought a smile to many of my days. My prayers are with you.

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.
Thank you for your understanding in these matters.

This web site is affiliated with 24K Gold Music Shows - an oldies music showband performing in Central Florida. The members of the showband feel strongly that there were many heroes manifested during the onslaught of terror associated with 9-11, and present this site as a memorial to those whose lives were lost, and the loved ones they left behind.
24K Gold Music Shows perform primarily 50-60s Oldies, Elvis songs, DooWop, and older country music, as well as patriotic songs. All of the musicians, singers, dancers, and staff of the 24K Gold Music Shows extend their deepest sympathies to every one who lost loved ones on that terrible day.
24K Gold Music Shows performs an original song called "The Day America Cried", which is a 9-11 tribute song. In the live shows, they honor with the song not only the heroes of 9-11 but also those who are still alive: the police personnel, firefighters, emergency personnel, soldiers, and others who have served our country and kept us all safe.
Listen also to this beautiful, touching song "Love Can Build a Bridge" by 24K Gold Music Shows. Even though strictly speaking it's not a 9-11 memorial song, I still feel it is a very fitting song for the occasion!
