Obituary
Send FlowersA Life Enjoyed to the Fullest
On the Saturday morning before Sept. 11, Andrew Kates woke up to find his three children bouncing on the bed, all ready to play. "He just looked right at me and said, 'I love our family,' " said his wife, Emily Terry.
He spent every spare moment with his two daughters and son, ages 5, 3 and 1. He gave them piggyback rides around their Upper West Side apartment. They played hide-and-seek. Every weekend last winter, he packed hot chocolate and took the two older ones, Hannah and Lucy, ice skating for hours in Central Park.
An athletic 37-year-old, he had brown hair, green eyes and dimples creasing both cheeks. His son, Henry, looks a lot like him. He managed to see the best in every situation, whether it was at home or on the job at Cantor Fitzgerald in 1 World Trade Center, where he was a senior managing director.
Perhaps it sounds like a cliché, his wife said, but he did manage to enjoy life to the fullest. "He is one of the people I know who had very few regrets about his life."

I worked in Andy's father's law office in Phila. many years ago. I was shocked to hear that Andrew Kates was one of those killed in the attacks of 9/11. I remember his dad talking about him and Seth and Paul. I also found out recently that Andy's dad Lewis Kates had passed away. I send my condolences to the entire Kates family.

As I cross-stitched your name on the memorial that I am doing for all of the victims, I prayed for you and your family. Please know that your death was not in vain. We will always remember. God Bless.

Dear Emily,
I have just read the tribute to your husband and my namesake. Andy sounded like a wonderful person and it is a tragedy that he was taken from you.
From reading what other people have written it is clear that he was admired as much in his line of work as a family man.
Please accept my sincerest of condolences.

Your husbands name drew my attention. What a wonderful person he was. Best wishes to you and your children. If Im able to help you please feel free to contact me at my email account. Im willing to help in any way possible.

Dear Emily,
We met only once years ago, at Joel Goldberg and Margot Frankel's wedding. My husband Michael and I are so sorry for your terrible loss. We wanted you to know that when we got married last year in LA, on September 29th to be exact (Julia Goldberg was our flower girl), we remembered Andy in our ceremony. From what Joel and Margot have told us, you and Andy exemplify the kind of marriage Michael and I aspire to. It felt right to honor Andy in that moment, and we strive to live...
