A Reader of Mysteries

Jimmy N. Storey's wife, Pam, does not believe the way her husband died makes him an automatic hero. But the flood of letters she received after Sept. 11 from people whose lives he had touched and careers he had mentored as far back as the 1970's made her deeply proud of the heroic figure he had been during his life.

A senior vice president for Marsh & McLennan based in Houston, Mr. Storey was visiting the company's offices in the World Trade Center on Sept. 11. After his death, Ms. Storey said, letters poured in from as far away as Spokane, Wash., where the couple lived 22 years ago when Mr. Storey worked for Aetna Insurance.

Mr. Storey, 58, was a voracious reader of mysteries, an avid history buff and a doting father and grandfather. His daughter Cynthia used to call him daily with problems and questions about personal and world events. Often, he picked up her children from the day care center near his Houston office when she needed help.

His other daughter, Tracey, recalls his lending her money to open her first bank account — and taking it away after she spent it, violating the terms of the loan. Ms. Storey took to heart the lesson about trust and its boundaries. "It takes a certain love and respect for your children to be able to teach them things like that," she said.

Pam, I´m thinking of you and your family today. Have lost touch with you I met the years. I hope you are well. Take care. Sincerely, Susan

Dear Ms. Storey, I had the opportunity to work with Jimmy at Marsh, then still in the WellsFargo Building in Houston. I am just as sad today as I was then upon hearing of Jimmy and our other Marsh associates on that dark day. My heart always becomes heavy for your family as Jimmy´s name is remembered on this day every year as well when I visit NYC. Twenty years have passed and I hope the time has healed your heart and emphasized your fondest memories. My warmest regards to all of Jimmy´s...

Dear Mrs. Storey, I have a 9/11 bracelet with Jimmy's name on it. I have been wearing it 24/7 since receiving it. Now 15 years later I think it's time to turn it over to you. I want you to know he has been in my heart all these years and I think of him everyday. Please contact me on facebook or call (651-353-3731)

It's been many years since I worked at Marsh - and my memory of Jim is strong - he was a dynamic person who always had a positive (albeit serious) greeting - truly wonderful. I wanted to take this moment to remember Jim. I know he is missed by many people.

Dear Ms. Storey
My name is Maydel Barrera, and I am a senior at Klein High School in Klein,Tx. For a research project, I am creating a tribute to honor someone close to the September 11, 2001 tragic events at The World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and Flight 93. I have chosen to honor Jimmy Storey with my tribute.

I am sure that the memory of the event is painful, so if you prefer not to participate as a source in my research, please know that I understand completely.

I am doing a project for my english class about those who were there during 9/11. I chose Mr. Storey because I felt drawn to him in a way. I am sorry for yall loss and I hope time has healed some of the pain. My video will never do Mr. Storey justice but i hope it will enlighten my class to remember those who arent always mentioned when the subject of September 11 is brought up.

I am proud of the small time I knew my uncle. May he rest in peace!!

Rest in peace Jimmy.
