Weibin Wang Obituary
Weibin Wang and Wen Shi met as students in Beijing, and married three years later. A few months after the wedding in 1986, Mr. Wang left for the United States to study geophysics, at Yale and then at Columbia. Ms. Shi followed a year later.
"We were very happy," she recalled. "We were finally able to be together. We were working hard, trying to realize our American dream."
And they did. He did research at Columbia's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in Palisades, N.Y., and then shifted into computer systems to provide better for his wife and three children, working the last two years for Cantor Fitzgerald at 1 World Trade Center. The family moved to a house in Orangeburg in Rockland Country, where every weekend he cooked dumplings, noodles, even lasagna. On Saturdays he took his children to piano lessons, art school and karate; on Sundays he took them to a school in Fort Lee, N.J., where they studied Chinese reading, writing and culture. The family visited China when they were able.
"We want to instill a lot of learning and a lot of Chinese traditions," Ms. Shi said.
But Mr. Wang, 41, was also committed to his new country. In March, he became an American citizen.

I wanted to say that whoever put the beautiful white rose by your name at the memorial, it was noticed. And I cried for you and your family. You, an individual, will always be remembered by me. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. My God rest your soul and peace be with those who loved and still love you.

Remembering and honoring the Wang family on this day. There are few words of comfort that can be said still but you can tell what a nice Dad you had by his smiling picture and all that he did for you.

My students were part of a 9/11 ceremony here in Miami Beach, and they wrote names on wristbands to commemorate each and every victim. My wristband bore Mr. Weiban's name. I want to extend my deepest sympathies for a loss that no words can express, and that no one should have to bear. Please know that his death will not be forgotten.

I sat next to Weibin for many months
before he started at Cantor. He was
such a kind and modest human being--I will remember him all my days.

For the family and all those who knew Mr. Weibin Wang, I wear a wrist band with his name on it for the next week and one day to honor his memory through out this week of peace in our Catholic school. Every member of our school recieved a name of someone that was lost in the tragic attack last year to honor their memory. I send my love and compassion to you I do believe that he would have wanted you to know his love for you.
Sincerly

I met Mr. Wang shortly after started my career at Lehman. He was such an attending father, loving, smart and gentle. A very family oriented man. I run into him a few weeks before the attack at the entrance of Path train at WTC. He was running to catch the train at Hoboken and we only exchanged a few words. I could never imagine that was the last time we met.
I can't express my sadness of such a big loss and will never be able to understand it. May God bless his three beautiful children and family. Weibin, I'll always remember you!

I remember the days at Columbia when Wang's family were making dumplings together:that gives us the warmest feeling of a family.

I worked with Weibin in New York for a few years. I was studying Geology at the time and remember Weibin taking time to give me a few pointers and tips in how to pursue the field should I want to make a living out of it.
We are all sorry for your loss and will continue to remember Weibin with fond memories.

Deeply sorry for your loss.
America Cries
We see your sorrow-
and our hearts cry....
We can not erase your pain
but you do not have to face the anguish alone-for we-
-the American people-
are beside you.
We so desperately want to have the touch that brings you comfort,
the strength that gives you courage,
and the words to lighten your spirits.
And when we are left speechless
may the silence of our nation weave love into your hearts
to ease your sorrow.
May you find healing through our nation's strength as we-
-the American people-
face this difficult time together. Our hearts are with you. Teresa Jahn
