Our Hero

I’m walking in memory of my Uncle Gary Herold. On 9/11/2001, Gary assisted his coworkers organize and evacuate. Gary lost his life in the south tower and I will never forget his heroic actions on 9/11

Gary Herold 

98TH FLOOR South Tower
Eric Eisenberg and Gary Herold, victims
AON Corporation
Portraits of Grief: The Troubleshooter
Portraits of Grief: Reserved but Loving

Marissa Panigrosso and Sarah Dechalus, both AON employees, worked with Eric Eisenberg and Gary Herold on the 98th floor of Tower 2. Their encounters with these men make clear the men lost their lives trying to assist others to safety, as Mr. Eisenberg rounded up other employees from the 98th floor and Mr. Herold apparently stood by the stairwell, both urging people to leave after a plane had hit the neighboring north tower. Ms. Panigrosso and Ms. Dechalus both lived, Mr. Eisenberg and Mr. Herold did not.

When we visit the 9/11 Memorial, Gary & Eric’s names are close together on the parapet. It is comforting knowing that they are two friends, together.
