Franklin Pershep Obituary
To his co-workers at the Aon Corporation on the 93rd floor of 2 World Trade Center, Franklin Pershep was the Bagel Man. First he would bring in two or three dozen to celebrate someone's wedding, promotion or new baby, said his daughter, Stacy, then later, for no reason. He bought them at a shop near his home in Bensonhurst that Stacy also visited. "They'd say, 'Oh Stacy, your dad was here, he paid for your bagel and coffee this morning,'" she recalled.
"Oh, he was so corny, so corny," she said. "As a little girl I remember saying to my father, `When are you going to grow up, Dad?' and he would say, `Why? Why do I have to grow up?' " Mr. Pershep, 59, loved his story of the Incredible Shrinking Cubicle. He knew his co-workers were pushing in the walls of his office a tiny bit each day, but he wouldn't let on that he noticed, even when he had to turn sideways to get inside. His daughter didn't know what he had done first to deserve such a prank, but she thinks it was probably something good.

Frank used to call the London office, where I worked, nearly every day. His particular skill was calling just as I was putting on my coat to go home, but I always picked up the phone because I knew it was him. He would regale us with various tales, always full of joy and glee, especially when he spoke about his family.
Hs loss hit us hard, like a light had gone out. Even now, if the phone rings about home time, I think of him, with sadness but also with a smile. He just loved to make us happy, and that's how I like to remember him.

Today in our town we had a memorial parade in honor of a girl who past away on sept 11th along with the many others. Her name was Andrea Habermen. Along the parade route there where flags handed out symbolizing all those who had been lost. I was handed your flag, and felt compelled to see if I could find something about you. And here I am. You sound like an amazing man! That many people loved! I placed your flag next to many others around the bell at our fire dept. it was beautiful! My thoughts are with your family may the sunshine warmly on there faces with the feeling of your touch.

Frank was always a pleasure to work with back in our international in/reinsurance days when I was at Chubb International and Continental International and he was with M&M and A&A. (Frank, I treasure that A&A Cross pen)
We always found a way to do business no matter how difficult the project.
We had a lot of great lunches too...even when we just got sandwiches to go and hung out by the WTC. (before he worked there)
What a sweet guy he was. Miss you bud.

Always thinking of you and your family. You were very much a one off and an irreplaceable character. My family send their love and wish to remind you of those times when you would phone on business and I couldn't take the call as I was in the bath!! As a result you got to know them all and they loved your humour. Sweet dreams.

I remember working with Frank Pershep @ Marsh & McLennan in what seems like a lifetime ago. I remember Frank as being so thoughtful, he would bring us bagels. Frank was always thankful to all of us Admin Assts. I remember Frank helping us get tickets to "Cats" when all of us girls were going to London for the first time. God bless you and your family!! I recenly found a group office photo at a restaurant back in 1983/1984 with Frank. Tammy Scalise (formerly Tammy Haynes).

Dear Frank,
You were such a wonderful person and I think of you so often. I remember how you used to go buy us happy meals when we were in mid-town, how you loved buying watches, and the bagels. In '97 A thin wall divided our offices in the WTC and I got to listen to your phone conversations with your family [all day long], and oh how you loved them. I think about our morning coffees and realize that you weren't just shooting the breeze -- you were being a teacher and mentor.
I am so fortunate to have known you.

To Frank's family,
I worked with Frank on many occasions over the years and still have fond memories of a couple of trips we did together to Korea.He was a great and amusing guy and I still laugh when I remember some of the things he did and said over the years.Last October I visited New York with my family and took the opportunity to visit Ground Zero with them to pay our respects and remember Frank , Tom Hohlweck and all those who lost their lives that day.
Frank always talked about his family and its good to read that you are all doing well ,

To the Pershep family,
I find this anniversary as difficult as the first and still feel the a heavy sorrow for the untimely loss of my friend Frank as well as all of those who perished that day.
My thoughts go out to you and hope you are all doing well, especially Mighty Mack. Congratulations to Stacy who is now married. I am sure your Dad is extremely pleased that both his daughters are married. He certainly talked about that often.
I miss his kooky humor.
Wishing you all the best,

Dear Estelle, Sharyn and Stacy,
I just came across this website. My thoughts and prayers are always with you. I think of Frank often and I remember all the wonderful places we had gone with him when we were kids. I was able to do and see things because of Frank and Estelle's generosity. You always treated me like a third daughter and I will never forget that. Stacey, I was so happy to hear that you got married! Congrats! Sharyn, I still can't believe that your a mommy of three! Even though we are grown and busy with our own lives and families, I still feel like it was yesterday that we were walking to P.S. 247. We had so many wonderful memories. I wish you all the best for 2010. Happy New Year wishes to you Frank in heaven. You are missed dearly.
Love,

Thank you to all who have signed this guest book. Amazingly, I didn't know it was here until this year. My father was an amazing man, husband, friend and father. We miss him terribly, even today. As I was reading names this year at ground zero, I could feel him smiling on me.
My entire family sends our heartfelt thanks to all of you that keep him in your heart.
And Alan, yes I did get married! In 2007 to a wonderful man that we all think Daddy would have loved.

I was never privilaged enough to meet Frank in person, however I did business over the phone and e-mails with him. He was always cheerful, and always had a kind word of encouragement if i was having a rough day.
I think of him often and especially on 9/11 each year. God Bless you Frank. You are in my thoughts forever.

On this 7th anniversary my dear friend, I look at a photo on my desk as you proudly stand by a fireplace. And I again find myself tearfully welling up over thinking that picture is all I now have in physical tribute. But your legacy is a rich one and I am so very fortunate to have been a part of it.
I had to leave NY and escape the city life. Now in North Carolina, where things are slower and the bagels far from adequate.

To Frank Pershep's family,
I worked with Frank at A&A in the Marine & Energy division for just a short time (1994-95), but I remember Frank as such a wonderful, FUNNY, giving person. He was always so encouraging and supportive of everyone and just so much fun. I've been avoiding this site because I knew I would find someone here, and I'm so sorry to have found Frank here. He won't be forgotten. I can still hear his voice and see his walk... A wonderful man.

My father Tom Hohlweck worked with Frank at Aon. Frank would always pay a visit to my dad's office to say hi to me, whenever I was visiting the world trade center- primarily during college breaks. I remember him as being extremely funny, friendly, and nice.

To the Pershep Family,
Thinking of you during this memorial and trust this message finds you all well. Especially Mighty Mack. I remember the day Frank asked for volunteers to give blood to help Mack as an infant. There was a concern because he needed to find four donors. It took about three seconds. Frank was not the type to ask for anything, he was always giving. (bagels!) So when he asked for donors, he had more volunteers than he needed. I happened to be one of the first he asked. If I remember correctly, he just told me I was giving blood. Well, of course I was.
He loved you all very much and talked about each of you practically every day.
He was a good man and I miss him.
Fond regards,
Alain Noboa
P.S. Is Stacey married yet?

To Franks'Family;
I worked with Frank at Aon and we became friendly when he learned that I lived in the Marboro Projects and grew up in Bensonhurst. [ Lafayette High School + Seth Low JHS ]
I miss his bagels, jokes and his good humor. He was a guy after my own heart in that he liked to buy things from a discount store called Weber's such as that official stickball bat he came back from lunch with. I had to have one too!
Frank used to call me out by saying Hey Bent!! and when I look up he'd flash me the one fingered salute !! which I'd acknowledge in kind with a laugh of course!!
Myself and all of us at Aon who knew him, still think about and miss Frank and will never forget a great guy!

Estelle,
You, and all the members of our Brooklyn group are in my heart every day, but most especially today. I hope that there have been more smiles than tears since we last saw each other. I wish you the best in whatever you do and I'm still here, cheering you on (even if it is from a distance). That will never change...
Take good care of you.
Love,

Dear Frank:
I want to say on this 2-year anniversary, that the pain and hurt is still here. You and everyone else will NEVER be forgotten, no matter what. I know that wherever you are, Frank, that you're probably feeding a multitude with bagels. (smile). I remember eating the best bagels in NYC that you used to provide for us. God's blessings and strength to your family to bear such a loss.
RIP, 'til then.........

Dear Frank,
My parents and I were your neighbors at 2375 East 3rd Street. We lived in apartment 3J and you and Estelle and Sharyn lived in apartment 3G. You and Estelle were good friends of my parents, Bill and Kitty Siegel, when you lived there, as well as after you had moved to Bensonhurst. You and Estelle were very kind, thoughtful people who went out of their way for anyone who ever needed them. Also, you had a great sense of humor and a vast knowledge of trivia. I especially remember many times when you and Estelle were very kind to me. I had always felt very comfortable with both of you. I remember your daughters Sharyn and Stacy when they were young. They were both very bright and very nice. I never knew them as adults, but I am sure they are very fine young women. I know from some of my neighbors here at 2375 that Sharyn had made you a proud grandfather 3 times and that you doted on them.
If you see my parents, please give them a hug from me. They both died in 1995.
I will never forget the kindness and compassion you had shown me at a time when I needed it.

I survived the first year. So did mom and Stacy. It has been extremely hard. Irene is doing well.
You are missed more than words can ever say.
Watch over us from heaven.
Your grandchildren - Mack , Heather and Hunter miss your weekend breakfasts with fresh strawberries.
In a day I went from being daddy's girl to not having a dad.
Rest in peace to the best dad there ever was.
The tears still flow as if it was yesterday.
Much love,

When I first met Frank I was 17 years old starting my first job at Marsh & McLennan, which is over 20 years ago. Frank was truly a great guy. He was ever so thoughtful to the people around him especially the secretaries (Tammy, Lorraine, Pat and Laura). I have such great memories working with him. To wife Istelle and his two daughters Stacy and Sharon my thoughts any prayers are with you on this day and always. Frank has touched so many peoples hearts including myself and he will always be remembered (with a smile)!!!

Frankie and I grew up together on Arden Street in Manhattan. We were only a year apart in age and shared many friends over 13 years. He was a great kid with a devilish sense of humor but someone you could always count on to do the right thing. I also remember his sister Irene and to her and all family memebrs I extend deepest condolences.

Frank I know you will not agree with my feelings..I am still mad. Everyone I speak to feels the same way..Your humor, your caring, your zest to help a client or a friend, even your desk housekeeping, are all terribly missed.
Our good client Istelle was just in New York. Barely more than a year ago you, Florence and I were celebrating Istelle's daughter's birthday over some chinese food... So over lunch again, much of our discussion this year focused on you, as it should have.

I have just read the tributes to Frank on the Aon Rememberance sight and have tears in my eyes. Even though we were on different sides of the world, Frank and I got to know each other via a mutual client. We communicated over a period of three years on business and soon became good mates. His nickname for me was Booby. Not sure why ( being a man ), but that was Frank, always cheerful and funny. I spoke to Frank on the Monday 10 September, South Africa time and he said he would phone me on Tuesday. Sadly he was taken from us on the Tuesday. Frank, I often think about you and our conversations and how you made me laugh. I will never forget you and hope that you rest in peace knowing that you brought joy into the lives of so many people. Rest well my friend.

Probably not one day went by with me not hearing hearing hey "La Bamba" from my dear friend. This was a good natured twist on my last name and it always brought a smile. This was a man of great humor, a great zeal for what he did everyday, and a bottomless spirit of generosity. Sure, his desk may not have won the good housekeeping award yet somehow he could always find things. Sure he was busy putting his energies into representing his clients but never too busy to chat, share a story, kvetch a little, if needed, and keep us all up to date on things at home. His love for his family may have been expressed in a special Frank style from time to time but we always knew the depth of his caring. This was the proudest grandfather you could ever meet!
How fortunate I was to know him, travel with him, and share many good times together. I sit here now still stunned and shedding a tear. Thank you my friend, I'll never forget you.

We are very sorry for your loss of Franklin. He must have been a very generous man. 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

What ever one says about Frank will never encompass or describe the man completely. The phrase "larger than life" does it for me! I share "Frankisms" with other colleagues - no, friends - in London and we laugh as we remember. That was Frank to us. He would call me prior to one of his fairly frequent visits to London to take my order for the silliest of items - c.d's, Tylanol p.m. make-up - and he would interrogate me if I declined "an order" and arrive at my desk with something anyway - sometimes choclates and on his last visit, bearing roses for my two assistants. What an old fashioned gentleman and gentle-man in every sense. When I think of Frank a smile crosses my face and has done for many many years; we go back to the "old A&A team" and he never changed an iota. Latterly our conversations centred on retirement and what he would do when, no IF, he retired, but I guess I'm cut from the same cloth. It is this week that he was going to be in London with his daughter and beloved grandson and I loved to hear stories of his family. Frank and I laughed and complained together and I wouldn't have had it any other way. I have lost a true and good friend of the "old school" and the world has lost one of its very few one hundred solid gold "mench." Rest well, dear Frank you will never been forgotten.

Well Frank, what can I say! I know that for many years (A&A) to Aon, I've been sampling the bagels that you're always known for. A bagel is a bagel, but when you're had one of Frank's bagels, you've had a bagel. It's going to be very easy to remember you, Frank, because you always call me gorgeous (or do you always call everybody the same? May you rest in peace, look down on us from time to time, and help to guide our paths. I will miss you very much.
