Inseparable Brothers
Nestor Chevalier always let his kid brother, Maurice, tag along. Though the brothers were five years apart, they were inseparable growing up in Washington Heights. They worked out together at the gym, and danced to salsa at the nightclubs. They even moved out of their mother's house into an apartment of their own in the neighborhood. "We were the best of friends," Maurice said. "We did everything together."
Nestor Chevalier, 30, verified trades at Cantor Fitzgerald and had planned to marry his girlfriend of nine years, Lillian Fermin, in October. He loved to tell stories about his life, often exaggerating the details for even bigger laughs. He found a rapt audience in his family and friends. Just last month, Maurice took Nestor to a salsa club to celebrate his big brother's birthday. Maurice danced all night.
"I miss him dearly," Maurice said.
I still wear your tribute name tag every year on this tragic anniversary date. You are not forgotten Nestor and you are always in my prayers. I hope your loved ones take comfort in knowing that you are dancing with the angels.

Fire Chief Justin Vincent with the steel beams from the towers in front of our fire station in Suisun City CA.
I live in Suisun City CA. 10 years ago our city received 2 portions of steel beams from the Towers. They were placed in front of our fire station as a memorial to all who perished on 9-11. At the ceremony in 2011 I received a card with Nestor's name. I still hold that card close to my heart. To Nestor's family: every time I pass by our fire station I think of your Nestor. I am sure he watches over all of you from his restful place in heaven. God Bless you & all of your family members. I will...

At the first anniversary of 9/11, I was given a button with your name on it when I sang at the Rolling Requiem tribute that was held world-wide. I still wear that button bearing your name on every 9/11 anniversary. My prayers for all of your friends and family who were left to mourn you.
