The Man Behind the Fun
Fog cloaked the treacherous Colorado slope; a half-dozen skiers couldn't see past their ski tips. Then, through the soup, came a rhythmic clattering: Christopher Slattery, an expert skier, was banging his poles, leading them to safety.

To an ever-expanding circle of friends and relatives, Mr. Slattery, 31, a trader at Cantor Fitzgerald, was a leader and a catalyst. After college, he pulled together six guys to share a Manhattan apartment. Later, he took a caravan to the Kentucky Derby and two dozen Ranger fans to Montreal. At Giants tailgate parties, you never knew how many friends he'd arrive with.

But for a fellow who majored in fun, Mr. Slattery was remarkably thoughtful. Arranging a job for this acquaintance; paying for a room at the Plaza for that young woman to sleep it off. The exquisite toy horse that delighted his 3-year-old niece; the miniature color television set for his father to wear around his neck during Giants games.

A dying neighbor leaves Mr. Slattery's sister's wedding early: Mr. Slattery chats with him. Women tug at Mr. Slattery's sleeve: come dance! No, says Mr. Slattery, I want to talk with this gentleman. The ill neighbor chooses to stay. Mr. Slattery has compelled him to celebrate the good times a little longer.

Seven days after you passed, I joined the Air Force. I didn't know you, but you changed the course of my life and the memory of those like you drives me still. We will never forget. Know this and rest in peace. God Bless.

I used to cut his hair when he was in high school. Nice kid!

You are part of my best childhood memories. Thank you.
Eggbert, Harold, Humperdink, and Pablo agree.

I didn't know Chris but I know his mother because she was my audiologist and I always watch the memorial for Chris's name. I will never forget 9/11. Rest in Peace.

I didn't know Chris but I have the same surname, it is a way for me to personalise what happened. I see his picture and read what his close ones have said about him. I went to the memorial last year to pay my respects where his name was. My thoughts are always with him and his family and friends.

I too today (9/11/2011) recieved a card at my church, Christ United Methodist in College Station, Texas with Christopher's name on it so that I would have someone special to pray for. My prayers are for peace and serinity for Christopher's family and friends today and for years to come till we all gather in heaven united with love. God Bless y
all.
