John Ballantine Niven

John was a bright soul, and will be remembered as such. I give my condolences and best wishes to the Niven family during these hard years of heavy loss. You are not alone in the suffering you have experienced. We can all continue to do better, and live our lives to the fullest as John had and would want us to do. What happened on 9/11 will forever be a moment in American history that will be highlighted by the many families that lost loved ones, as it is a teaching lesson that will continue...

My condolences to the family

Dear Niven Family:

I'm Ross Greenberg and I am a Long Islander and 9-11 Survivor, by the Grace of G*d. I am three years younger than John and overslept that day. I want to offer my profound condolences on your loss; John looked like a wonderful human being. I know that your son carries in him all the best John embodied.

In Memory
With Honor & Respect.

Almost 14 years on, and John's profound impact on the lives he touched while here remains a permanent mark of grace and class. I was discussing with a much younger colleague today the awful events of 9-11, and told this young man about John Niven, a friend of decency, intelligence, and humor. A wonderful life cut way too short. I have no doubt that young Jack knows full well how brilliant and cool his dad was. And he could also play some tennis...!

Remember.

Yesterday I found out that John and I had a family relations via his mother Jeanne´s grandmother, Augusta that came from Falkenberg, Halland , Sweden. Sorry we never got to see. John, RIP.
