I completed mile #96 in your memory. I am dedicating a mile to each of you, no matter how long it takes. Rest in peace.

Kenneth Van Auken was my uncle. He was a great husband, brother, father, and uncle. He had a great sense of humor, and he always found time to laugh. Uncle Kenny was a great craftsman and could build anything. My fondest memories of him included eating hot dogs in the backyard on a hot summer day, holding his hand as we walked to a street fair, and celebrating his birthday, which was the last time I saw him. Though I was only in the third grade when he died, I still remember a lot about him. I will always remember his laugh, and his loving voice. Uncle Kenny was a true hero to everybody who knew him. I miss you so much! Love, Emmy

Ken was smart with a great sense of humor. I can still hear his laugh today. When I was home sick, he would entertain me with goofy voices and convincing imitations of Superman and other heroes of our childhood.
Ken was intellectually smart yet extremely talented in building things. I have a mahogany bookcase he built from a very basic sketch I gave him when he was only nineteen. When he graduated from college, he worked for an HVAC company and invented solutions to various problems that caused the admiring owner to call him a "genius".
There was no one who didn't like Ken - he was great to be around - a good listener, loving toward all his family and a loyal friend. I miss him - we all miss him, and always will. No one else will fill his shoes. The world has lost a very special man.

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.
