An Everyday Generosity

A Foosball aficionado, a fanatic U. Conn. fan, a knower of all the Jeopardy questions, Sean Schielke had a very gentle soul and an enormous heart. And he couldn't pass any of those gumball machines without putting in a quarter and grabbing a ring.

His girlfriend of four years, Sarah Christie, remembers the dozens of oysters at a surprise party he threw for her, the Art Deco-style vanity he carried home three blocks, a gift for no occasion, and the support he showed her while she was in graduate school.

"He was just so generous, and always just really there for people," she said. "We must've moved all of my friends in and out of this apartment, and in and out of fifth- floor walkups."

Mr. Schielke, 27, an international bond trader with Cantor Fitzgerald, had a twin brother, Brandon. "Within five or ten minutes of knowing him, you'd leave with a smile," his brother recalled.

Ms. Christie misses the way she and her boyfriend took pride in each other's successes. "We had a vision of our future, just something we believed in, it was always in our minds," she said. "It's so hard to relinquish something like that, because it's so real in your mind. But you have to."

Not sure what to say?

Thinking of you every 9/11. Always remembered and never forgotten. Rest In Peace. Prayers to the Schielke family.

Rest In Peace Sean. You are not forgotten and you will always be remembered. Your family and friends are in my prayers. God bless

Hello to the Schielke Family -
I am a member of Old St. Patrick's Church in Chicago. A week after the 9/11 tragedy, our church held a memorial service for all those who died on 9/11. Each of us who attended were given a card with the name of someone who was lost that day. I was given a card with Sean's name on it. I prayed for Sean that day and have remembered him ever since. I have kept that card with me to remind me of how precious life is. On this 20th anniversary, please know...

We all miss you! Grandma loves telling me stories about you.

19 Years....talked about you again today to my kids, family & friends. Such a great person...

Think about Sean every 9/11 - tragic loss for so many as is the case here - such a great guy , so young, such a promising future.

Thinking of you and your family. 19 years today - does not seem possible. So many great memories.

Happy Birthday in Heaven Sean. God bless you always. Happy Birthday to your twin brother Brandon still here on Earth. As the mother of twin boys, I can only imagine the devastating pain your loss has caused your brother. May God comfort his heart. Never forgotten!
