Obituary
Send FlowersIreland in His Soul
It was hard to find a photograph of Donald W. Robertson Jr., 35, for the prayer card for his memorial Mass. A father of four, he was seen in all his pictures with a child climbing on him. The family had to crop him out of a family reunion shot to get a photo without a small arm or leg draped around him.
"His little girl, Madison, would only let Donnie put her pierced earrings in her ears," said one of his sisters, Kathy Cunningham. "That is the ultimate hands-on, gentle dad."
She remembers her mother making her take her brother, who was almost nine years younger, to church. "But she didn't know that we'd pull up, he'd run in, get the bulletin, come back out, and the car full of us would drive off to Friendly's," Ms. Cunningham recalled. "He was along for the ride in every way."
Although Mr. Robertson, a vice president of sales with eSpeed, who lived in Rumson, N.J., had a shamrock tattoo, he never made it to Ireland. His mother is taking ashes from ground zero to an ancient burial ground in Glendalough, County Wicklow, in a few weeks, his father said. On March 9, an Irish flag flew over the New Jersey governor's mansion in his honor.
Guest Book
I knew Donnie Robertson and his father Donald from the South Orange Sunday evening softball league during my time as an umpire. Two nicer guys you couldn't find -- great father and son duo. Always happy, smiling and lots of fun umpiring the Robertson games. Can't believe 20 years have gone by since that fateful day, a day I walked through that very Trade Center on my way to work at the Federal Reserve Bank of NY. My reflections are many and my heart goes out to the Robertson family.

Hello, My name is Wayne Robertson. I live in Salem Oregon. We have a 9/11/01 U.S Flag in our Church, with all the names of Our Heroes. So, I looked to see if there was a Robertson. Cried when I saw the last name. I know we are not related, but I am Praying for your Robertson Family on this 15th. Anniversary. God Bless Your Family!

Karen,I have not seen you or talked to in many years, but I have thought about you over the years. I actually went to high school with Donnie and Elizabeth. He was a good guy. I know that your memories of Don have carried you through this despicable tragedy. The whole country mourns with you. Teresa has told me what a beautiful family you have. Take care of yourself.

It's been a beautiful day here in Missouri. Mr. Dieman and I have been painting our front porch. Your family has been on my heart these past two weeks but especially through this day. I'm so glad to see Don's face and feel immensely privileged to be 'in this place'. Know that you and your family are in our hearts and prayers, sweet Patty.
