Obituary
Send FlowersManners and a Motorcycle
Colin Bonnett was a gentleman ‹ a Harley-Davidson-riding, bodybuilder sort of gentleman. Born in Barbados, he had been raised with Caribbean good manners that said that a door was always to be opened for a lady and that her chair should be pulled out when she sat.
He also had deep empathy for animals, and had recently rescued a stray kitten that had been wandering around his family's home in Crown Heights, Brooklyn.
But he also had an adventurous streak that put him on horseback with his 10-year- old son, Kody, on most weekends, or on his motorcycle. He pushed himself hard with a physical fitness regimen that included weight lifting, jogging, countless situps and no junk food. Ever.
Mr. Bonnett's natural graces helped get him his job at Marsh & McLennan, where he was a telecommunications programmer. In the early 1990's he had been working as an assistant to a Manhattan veterinarian and was about to lose his job because the doctor was closing his practice. One of the customers was a Marsh executive who invited Mr. Bonnett, 39, to fill out an application. He was transferred to the World Trade Center by the company only a few months ago.

I know today's going to be a great day, but this one always starts out rather somber. On my drive in to work, like on every September 11, I flipped to "Fox News Channel" on Sirius/XM. They start with reading the names of the victims of the 9-11 terroristic tragedy. My drive is about 10-12 minutes. I started with a last name beginning in Am. I finished with a last name beginning with Bo. It's amazing how many perished on that day that it takes 10 minutes to go through just one letter of the...

Iowa City, IA, churches are praying for the families of specific people who lost their lives in the WTC on 9/11. I drew Colin's name and have read the legacy posting. I am praying and continue to pray for his son Kody and others in his family that they will be strengthened by knowing others care. God bless each one as they remember Colin who had so much to give.

I went on a journey today,
Somewhere very, very far away,
I'm riding on my Harley
My last Harley ride.
My path was oh so beautiful
The gates were opened wide,
I looked into an angel's face,
And said "this is my last Harley ride"
I toured this place called Heaven,
The view was very grand,
My Harley wheels were spinning,
My face was full of grins,
And I said "this is my last Harley ride"
At first glance, I saw some faces,
Of the people from...
