Send FlowersLike Father, Like Son
On Sept. 11, Daniel M. Coffey and his son Jason M. Coffey planned to meet for lunch at the World Trade Center, where they both worked for subsidiaries of Marsh & McLennan. Daniel Coffey, 54, needed to have his wedding ring enlarged after 30 years of marriage. Jason Coffey, 25, was going along to pick out a surprise engagement ring for his fiancee, Colleen McDonald.
Daniel Coffey, a senior vice president at Guy Carpenter & Company, worked on the 94th floor of One World Trade. Jason, a senior accountant at Marsh Inc., was on the 98th floor.
Daniel Coffey was the son and grandson of an only child and part of a family that has lived for generations in Newburgh, N.Y.
He and his wife, Francis, broke the mold with three sons, Daniel, Jason and Kevin. Daniel Coffey met his wife when she was trying to fix him up with her friend.
One of his gifts was gab. "Dad could talk to virtually anyone and get anything he wanted out of them," said his son Daniel. With his wife, the elder Coffey was fixing up the house in Newburgh. "My mother is very particular about what she wants done, and my father was particular in how he did it," young Daniel said.
Jason Coffey was a big guy who loved to play rugby. (His mother did not want him to play football. Too dangerous.) He was also always ready to go out, including to a local bar, Pineapple Larry's.
But now he was settling down. He was in the process of buying his grandparent's house in Newburgh and he and Ms. McDonald were going to fix it up, just like his father and mother did to their house. Jason Coffey and Ms. McDonald had planned to get married Dec. 7, 2002.

Its impossible to believe that this still happened and your not here making family memories and having milestones like the rest of us, its not fair- that you cant be here with your family and Colleen. You were taken away from us in such a terrible way.
Please know your thought of often, I remember your laugh, your sarcasm, your thoughtfulness, the way youd stick your finger in my face and say Im not touching you, and most of all the way you cared and valued your friendships. Keep an eye...

18 years have passed and tonight, out of the blue, I came across a list Remembering lives lost from the Hudson Valley and saw your name. I had no idea that we both grew up in this area. I have fond memories of our times together at Bryant. Coffey you were always laughing and smiling which I certainly hope you are doing now. Mike and I are still good friends and I can only imagine we would be too, considering we live 15 minutes from one another. My heart goes out to all of your family, as Im...

It's been almost 10 years since you have been gone. Not a day goes by that my family does not think about you or your father. Thanks for watching over all of us in this time of healing.

I can't believe it has been almost 6 years. You are remembered in my heart and prayers every day. I wish you were still here to see all of the exciting things in life. You were taken too soon, but I look forward to the day that we can catch up and talk about old times just like we used to. Love, Kim

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.
