Donald H. Gregory, 62 (SNYT)
Amanda has her dad's sense of commitment. Sara has his creativity. And James has his love of sports.
Donald gave many gifts to his children, one of which was loving their mother. He kissed her at the start and end of each day. "He was a man of quiet faith," said his wife. "He had a generosity of spirit that extended to all in our family. Most importantly, he taught to believe in yourself."
He believed in Amanda, who wants to work for NASA; in Sara, who loves art; and in James, who plays soccer, basketball, and baseball with a passion.
Since the World Trade Center fell with him in his 104th floor office, people have sent notes to his family.
"Because I was not with him during the day, I didn't know the extent to which he raved about the children," his wife said. "That is the essence of a family man to me." |
