Larger Than Life (or Death)
There is no single great story about Jeremy Carrington, 34, a man universally known as Caz. Instead there are hundreds of them, left like glittering stones along his trail.
"He did not waste a moment of his life, and he enjoyed everything about it," said his wife, Patricia Rosch Carrington, trying to sum it all up.
While they were dating, he decided to pour his considerable energy into her family's backyard football game, and ended up breaking her father's nose. When he proposed to her last year, he roped her boss into the conspiracy and popped the question in the Sistine Chapel.
A British-born swaps trader for Cantor Fitzgerald, Mr. Carrington hosted a BBC program, "Manhattan on the Beach," in which he documented the daily activities of English people summering in the Hamptons. He charmed the conductor on his subway with the greeting, "Thank you, sir, for saving my seat."
One night in early September, he hailed a cab with a group of colleagues. When the driver refused to take all five of them, Mr. Carrington asked him to open the trunk so they could put their briefcases in it. The other four people settled into the cab. A few hundred yards up the street, the driver asked what that banging noise was, coming from the back.
"Oh, it's a Cazo," they answered. The driver pulled over, popped the trunk and discovered Mr. Carrington sitting cross- legged inside it, surrounded by the briefcases, waving his long arms and calling, "Helllooooo."
"A lot of people say that so many of these men and women were larger than life," Mrs. Carrington said. "I quite frankly think this man was larger than death."
Patricia,
As I stated in my post back in 2020 I never knew Caz but I remember briefly meeting you and his mom and taking his photo to the Ground Zero memorial for those lost and missing. I hope you and your loved ones are safe and well.

I was a Red Cross Volunteer at Ground Zero in December, 2001. Your wife, Patricia and your mom called to me and another volunteer. I believe your mom had just arrived from England. They wanted to be escorted to a temporary memorial for those lost in the towers. We were not permitted to do that so they asked us to post your photograph with so many others at the memorial on the other side of the pit. I wish we could have done more. I think of you, Patricia and your mom on every 9/11. I...

We never met, but I said I would never forget that day, and I haven't. Today I paused to say a prayer for your family and friends. Much love from Texas,

I've just read the details of the British people that lost their lives in 911. I read about each person & noticed Caz already survived a bombing on WTC in 1993. I feel for his wife Pattie & his family.
RIP Jeremy Mark Carrington (Caz) x
RIP to all the British victims & their families x
