I worked with Ghaton at HSBC Financial way back in the day. While I have many fond memories of Ghaton, My most memorial one was on 9/11. Our small office was devastated and not at all sure what to do or feel. Ghaton led us all in prayer and it was so calming and exactly what we all needed. He will forever be in my "where were you when" story. My sympathy to your family!
