RIP so young, so brave. May our lord take you and hold your soul in his everlasting light and love. Peace be with you and your family.

I went to junior high school with Robert, and I saw him the day before the attacks, as usual he would always be at the corner of his home. He was a good friend and sweet. This is something that shouldn't have happened. My heart goes out to his family and to his son and fiancee. Every year in honor of his memory, flowers are placed by the tribute they have put up for him at the salvation army. I think of you very often, and it breaks my heart that his son will grow up without his dad, but knowing that he will guide and protect his loved ones is what puts smiles on my face. You will always be our hero. R.I.P.

It's been 7 years. I am his SON, and I really miss him so much. I didn't really know what was going on at the time. I was only 5 years old. Now I'm 12 about to be 13, and the only thing I know was that my DAD was a great DAD and a HERO! He saved many people and was good at what he did.... I love you DADDY, and I know you are watching me NOW, and someday I will see you in HEAVEN! I LOVE YOU, DADDY.... R.I.P.

I didn't know Robert, but I'm sure he was a great man. I feel really bad for his fiancee and son. It's a shame that some person or people would do this to us as a country. My heart goes out to all victims and their families.

This is in dedication to a tribute run that our local Mustang group did on 9/10/2006. Each of our participants was given a rider and I was honoured to carry Robert in our car. All our participants carried a rider in soul. If Robert's family reads this I'd like to let you know that he had a great day with me and my boyfriend we went to the beach, rode along with other mustangs in a caravan of cars and remembered and prayed for those we lost. Our hearts are with all of you and your lose that to this day is still fresh in our hearts.

~ Love begins with a smile ~     

Maybe it is true that we don't know what we have until we lose it, but it is also true that we don't know what we have been missing until it arrives. Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back. Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart; but if it does not ...be content it grew in yours.

It takes only a moment to have an interest in someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.

There are moments in life when you miss someone so much...that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real. Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life, and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

May you have enough happiness to make you kind, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy, enough sacrifice to keep you humble, and enough patience to fulfill your dreams.

Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person too. The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

Happiness is for those who know, what it means to cry, those who know hurt, those who have searched, tirelessly. And those who have tried, and fallen short, over and over again. For only they can truly appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives. The people who have been there to help dust us off every time we fell.

Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a tear. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you are the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying. Crying, longing for happiness once shared.

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.
