Workstation to Playstation
James Carson spent much of the day ‹ and often much of the evening ‹ working with computers on the 103rd floor of the World Trade Center. When he finally did get home, he immediately headed for a different kind of computer: his Sony Playstation.

"That was how he would wind down," said his wife, Debbie Carson. She recalled that Mr. Carson, 32, would come home to Massapequa, N.Y., and relax by playing football video games in the basement. He took the games so seriously that he kept statistics on the virtual players, she said ‹ just like the stats he kept on favorite real-life players.

"I'm not even allowed in the basement," said Mrs. Carson, who is six months pregnant with their first child. "That was his playroom."

His office was something of a playroom, too. Mr. Carson, who had worked as a computer network administrator at Cantor Fitzgerald for just over six weeks on Sept. 11, was thrilled to be so close to the heart of the world of finance. "He always ranted and raved about his view and the work he was doing," Mrs. Carson said.

Not sure what to say?

20yrs past. Think of you often buddy.

20 years today.... Still doesn't feel real. We worked together before you went to Cantor Fitzgerald. The last time we saw you, was when a few of us went out to celebrate your new job! I can't believe less than 2 months later you would be gone from this world! Your life was just starting.... New job, baby on the way.... I think about Debbie and your baby every year. God Rest Your Soul

I remember driving up to Tarrytown to play Madden against you and Tim, my friend. It is impossible to comprehend that day and the loss of so many wonderful human beings. You being one of the best, Jay. I miss your sense of humor. Rest easy Jay.

Remembering James on the 20th anniversary of 9/11...

Praying today for the child that Jay never got to hold here on earth. I lift up his friends and family in prayer - we will never forget this horrible day in history. Much love from Texas,

17 yrs later you are still In my thoughts brother. Will never forget.

You will ALWAYS be remembered!
Miss you!

Thinking of you....

Jay, we met at SUNY Old Westbury.
We were assigned a research paper to present together in our Asian Cultures class. We became friends. I loved riding in your jeep and eating Chinese food with you. I think about you often and pray for your family. Rest in peace love.
Forever,
