Jeffrey LaTouche Obituary
For Jeffrey LaTouche life was church, family and work.
A banquet captain at Windows on the World for more than 15 years, Mr. LaTouche, 49, happily returned to work when the restaurant reopened after the 1993 bombing. "He loved that job," said his wife, Virginia LaTouche. "The people he worked with were like family to him."
A born-again Christian, he had begun to focus increasingly on the church as he became involved at the Pentecostal Winner's Chapel in Queens. A trip to see the evangelist T. D. Jakes last year had left him even more inspired. "That really turned his life around," she said. "He came back with so much energy and zeal to really do something for the Lord."
He served as president of the men's fellowship, was on the chapel's building committee and worked with the children's ministry, said Peter Kpapharo, pastor at Winner's Chapel. The chapel is open three days a week, he said, and "almost every time the doors were open he was here."

Today I visited the memorial for the first
time and saw that handsome face of Jeffrey G. Latouche,the face that many of us from Grenada were very familiar with. My mind just started flooding back with the fond memories I have of him growing up as children. He was such a quiet and respectful person that made everyone fall in love with him. I am vey happy to learn that he had given his life to Christ, which is the best decision
he could have ever made in his life. He is now resting safely in the arms of his Savior, Jesus Christ resting in perfect peace until that glorious day.

To Jeffrey's family,
I am so very sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine how you feel. I was so glad to see that Jeffrey was a Christian! At least that gives you peace in knowing that he is rejoicing with the Lord right now!

I have a bracelet That has the name "Jerrery Latouche" on it. (A man who dien in the 9-11 attacks)
It was made so that whoever got it would wear it and pray for his family and friends. I dont know if any of his family or his friends are reading this but if you are I would like to tell you that I have prayed for you every single time I put the bracelet on, and I will continue to pray for you. I'm sorry for you loss. Jesus loves you and his love will NEVER die!!!! He will comfort you and guide you through these hard years. He DIDN'T promise it would be easy but He DID promise that you dont have to go through this alone. He'll be there!
I will be praying for you.

I did not know Jeffrey however as a Christian I am moved by his testimony. Many Christians were led not to go to work that day (perhaps they were not ready or task was not finished). Jeffrey is blessed to be in the presence of the Lord; while leaving us a testimony to always be ready.
T.D. Jake messages are inspiring believers in England also.

I never knew Mr La Touche he probably served a meal to me on a visit to Windows on 11 Sept 99.
As a fellow Christian I can sympathise with his family but rejoice for them also as they know he is with the Lord Jesus. God bless you all till you meet again.

We are deeply sorry for your loss of Jeffrey. May his life and love live on through those who love him. Our hearts cry with you.
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
