Obituary
Send FlowersFinding Good in a Bad Day
Once, Aaron Horwitz had what most people would consider a supremely lousy day. A friend asked him how he would rate it, from 1 to 10, with 1 the worst.
"Eight," he replied.
You could get a contact high from Mr. Horwitz, 24, a bond broker at Cantor Fitzgerald with the almost laughable responsibility of entertaining clients and making them feel like the most important people in the world.
As if anyone had to pay him. For he was not just a showman, who did the Michael Jackson moonwalk on bar tops and who, at a museum, drew his own masterpiece on a mist-coated window next to a Rembrandt.
He seized souls, not letting go until he made them merry. He met a guy in a toy store and, moments later, the two were having a hula hoop contest. He insisted a concierge stop weeping over a bad breakup, then called her at 2:30 a.m. to make sure. He sweet-talked hostesses at four-star restaurants into producing tables for eight (and their phone numbers for dates) and persuaded a street masseur to let Mr. Horwitz give him a massage.
"You could talk to a brick wall," his father told him. Yes, allowed the son, but he preferred chatting with a mirror. He often did so, then fell over, laughing.

I am beyond sorry for your loss, buddy.
But you rose into the heavens with grace and dignity. See ya in the afterlife.

Aaron, after running in a race a few years back that honored fallen firefighters from 9/11 I decided to learn a bit more about the hero on my bib that year and posted his story on line. I also then decided to pick a name each year from that long list, learn a bit about them, talk to my kids about them and post a part of their story on my Facebook page each September 11th so that friends and family might take a moment to remember what was lost. This year I selected you. I have read so many...

Aaron was a funny guy. He was always a joker and never had a bad day. I knew him for only 3 months but 27 years later I still remember him. It was and still is a tragedy to of lost someone that was loved by all that met them.

I'm from London, UK and I was Aaron's councillor at Racquet lake summer camp back in 1990. I have only recently found out about Aaron's fate as I met up with some former staff and another room mate in London. Everything I have read about him at an older age is how I remember him when he was 14, a cheeky chappy as we would say in London. He was always playing the fool and being jovial. If you told him off he would just put a big infectious grin on his face and you would have to turn your back...

You and your siblings, Mom and Dad are forever in our hearts. The years pass but the heartache and memories never do.
