Obituary
Send FlowersThe Creator of Surprises
William Raub loved arranging surprises for his family — a birthday party for his wife, Maureen, a surprise 10th anniversary trip to Little Palm Island in the Florida Keys, and that was just last year. "He loved planning big surprises and special gifts," Mrs. Raub said. "He really got a lot of happiness doing that."
"He liked to play with his daughter a lot, and take her with him when he did errands, and cook dinner to give me a night off," she said on the phone from her home in Saddle River, N.J., as her 6-year-old daughter prompted her, then corrected her: "He liked to make reservations at restaurants." The couple also has a 5-month-old son.
Mr. Raub, 38, an institutional stock trader at Cantor Fitzgerald, almost didn't go to work on Sept. 11, because he had a stomach bug, but decided to try putting in half a day. He thought the World Trade Center was the safest building to work in, thanks to security measures after the 1993 bombing, when he helped a flagging co-worker down 104 stories, stopping to rest with him every few flights. "That was just so Will, to always be thinking of other people," Mrs. Raub said.
"I'll never forget, on the night before our wedding, at the rehearsal dinner, he said, 'Tomorrow I'm marrying my best friend,'" she said. "That said it all."

Maureen,
I am proud to have worn your husbands name today as I rode in the 9-11 motorcycle rally in Washington DC.
Your husbands memory and life spirit will be kept alive.
I am very sorry for your loss and I need you to know that there are many Americans that care.

Dear Maureen,
Today I had a landscape architect come to my home to discuss a project we are contemplating. He showed me a portfolio of his work, including the memorial site he designed for the three men from Saddle River lost on 9/11. Seeing your husband's name prompted me to do some searching on the internet. My son Henry Horowitz was in Rebecca's kindergarten class at the Village School. I remember Rebecca as such a very nice and very intelligent little girl. During the summer of 2001, I...
