The Things They Planned

When she turned 40 last summer, instead of a present for herself, Allison Hobbs said she wanted to go on trips with her husband, Thomas A. Hobbs, and their three children. "There were a bunch of things we had planned that we said we had wanted to do for years, and never did," she said.

So in August, Mr. Hobbs, who was 41 and worked at Cantor Fitzgerald as an energy trader, took his family to the Bahamas. On another excursion they went kayacking. And they went out to Flushing to take in the United States Open Tennis Tournament.

An athlete as a youngster, as an adult Mr. Hobbs passed on his love of sports to his daughter Jacquelyn, 12, and his sons Steven, 10, and David, 8. "He really liked coaching his children," Allison Hobbs said.

But a sense of foreboding hung over his life in the office. He did not like working on the 105th floor of the north tower. "He told me repeatedly that if there was ever a terror attack on the World Trade Center he was not going to survive," said Anthony Giaimo, a friend for nearly 30 years.

Not sure what to say?

So sorry for your loss. I did not know him. I just wanted you to know that we as Americans will never forget him. Bless your hearts.

Hobbs family,
When I think of 9/11 I only think of Tommy. For the limited time that I knew him, while he was my broker, he was an outstanding man that had a wonderful heart. I remember talking to him over the broker box after the first plane hit, but more importantly I remember the last astros-mets game where we had a great time. God bless my friend... god bless the Hobbs family.

To the Hobbs family, I'm so sorry for your loss. My deepest sympathies. May the wonderful memories of your loved one continue to provide a measure of comfort to you--until God's promises are fulfilled. Matthew 5:5; Psalms 37:11, 29
