I remember this man very well. He was my age, very smart, easy-going, hard worker. He had a very heavy Swedish accent, and was a little difficult to understand at times, but he knew exactly what to say to make you laugh.

I thought he was awesome, because he could quote lines from Final Fantasy VII verbatim. He even had a Sephiroth cold cast statue on his desk.

He worked upstairs from me on the 100th floor; I was on 99. The first time I met him, I was helping move his computer equipment from the South Tower after we acquired RGL in '99. Unfortunately, he did not survive the attack.

He invited me out for drinks about a month before the attacks, and I didn't take him up on it, because I had to work late to support our upgrade to Microsoft Office 2000. One of those decisions I'll always regret.

(the pictures are of the Marsh McLennan offices on the 100th floor of 1WTC. He worked on the SW corner of the tower, one of the floors I was responsible for.)
