Robert D. Mattson

I didn't know Robert, after taking this photo I was drawn to trying to find out more about him. Reading about him and his sacrifices have affected me greatly, I will never forget his name and his courage - James Anderson

If you are family please feel free to contact me and I will send you the photo in full size.

In Memory
With Honor & Respect.

9/11/12. Was watching television today regarding the 11th Anniversary of that horrible day, 9/11....when I saw Robert D. Mattson's name across the bottom of the screen as one of the victims. It really struck me, as my Dad's name was Robert D.Mattson, Des Moines, Iowa.... (dec. Jan, 1981). I read about your husband, father, friend and what an extraordinary human being he was. And, am saying a prayer for his soul and for your peace of mind. God Bless you.

WE REMEMBER RIP

Dear Lizbeth, Jeannie, and Jimmy,
Jaime just sent me this link and once again, I cried for Bob's memory and what you have all gone through. I admire and respect your strength, and know that he is proud of the lives you have carved out for yourselves these past ten years. Lizbeth, we go WAY back, and I also have so many riotous memories of raising our kids together at the lake. Jeannie, you were always so darn cute and such fun. Jimmy, you were Jaime's first love, at age five! We think of Bob often, his crazy sense of humor, and his caring and commitment to those around him. We wish you all the best, and know that you will be greeted at Heaven's gates and reunited. With Much Love, Bonnie and Dave Coe

BOB...SPECIAL PRAYERS THIS DAY FOR YOU.
MAY YOU BE WITH CHRIST.GOD BLESS FOREVER.

We think of you everyday but today your tenth anniversary in heaven, we pray for you Liz, Jeanine and Jimmy.

On 02/26/1993, after the 1st WTC Attack, I coordinated/participated in the rescue of 40 people from the 94th Floor of 2 WTC. 23 of those removed were rescued by helicopter. Recently I came across a copy of my notes from that day. Bob Mattson was one of those rescued by helicopter. I believe Robert is the same person. It is heartbreaking, and I'm sorry you did not make it out. May You Rest in Peace.

Robert Mattson worked for Fiduciary Trust and so did I. I never knew Robert but many did at Fiduciary Trust I lost my job at Fiduciary in October 2002 and went on over 150 interviews the one interview I went on at US Trust I will never forget. The interviewer ask me Fiduciary Trust do you know Robert Mattson I said I knew the name. He responded he was my best friend my life long friend we took our families on camping trips together and he showed me a picture. Fiduciary was my first job out of college at 22 he probably had kids my age. This continues to be a nightmare for all of us that survived the twin towers the guilt never heals

Bob, I thought of you today as well as all the other FTCo personnel who joined you in heaven. May God bless you and your family. You are missed.

GOD BLESS YOU BOB. I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER OUR DAYS AT CFMA...WE WERE YOUNG LADS THEN. STILL GOT ALL THE YEAR BOOKS.

In memory....

As I stitched your name on the memorial that I am doing for all of the victims, I prayed for you and your family. Please know that your death was not in vain. We will always remember. God Bless.

A few years have now passed. The healing continues. May your family continue to be blessed and know how much we care. We love and miss you Uncle Bob.

On September the 11th,2002 I had the honor of wearing Mr. Mattson's name at the preformance of the Mozart Requiem in Columbus Ohio. Please know, that through this music, many people around the world have recieved some sense of comfort and solice. Hopefully Mr. Mattson's friends and family will be able to gain comfort in knowing those lost on that horrible day will never be forgotten. "Strangers are only friends we have yet to meet."

I would just like to send my thoughts and prayers to you. I participated in the "Rolling Requiem" on Wednesday the 11th. In every time zone at exactly 8:46 AM groups sang Mozart's Requiem. My school participated in this, and we each had a button with a name of a victim of 9-11. I received Mr. Mattson's, and I would just like you to know that I am praying for you and that my thoughts, as well as many others at Lincoln High School are with you.

Elizabeth,

I was a NOVA volunteer who accompanied you at the family assistance center. You continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.

I worked for Fiduciary Trust Co. of

New York from 1965 to 1974. I was

secretary to the firm's general

counsel (Mr. Lacovara), in the Legal

Dept. Bob Mattson was then an Administrative Assistant, and he worked closely with my boss. I remember his great sense of humor

as he would come over to my desk and jokingly ask "what kind of mood

is the boss in" and "is it safe to go in?" He always had his cup of

coffee in his hand, and we always

joked about the events of the day.

When I left in 1974, I lost contact

with many of the people there, but I

have fond memories of my years there.

I will never forget Bob and his

smiling face, his good nature and his jokes, which always added a happy note to my day. May he rest

in peace, and may his wife and family know that he was loved by many people.

Always in our thoughts and prayers. God bless, "Uncle Bob".

May all of your putts fall on the pro-side and all of the line calls go your way...



For all that you are and all that most of wish we could be.



You are missed but never forgotten.

Green Pond will always remember you. God Bless your wife and kids, they are so strong.

God Bless America!

Mr. Mattson you are a hero!

May God Bless you and watch over the ones that you left behind that horrible day last September. Rest in peace forever more.

DEAR GOD SHINE YOUR LIGHT ON THIS BEAUTIFUL HERO...ROBERT D.MATTSON AND MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE WITH GOD AND HIS ANGELS..GOD BLESS HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS..GOD BLESS AMERICA AND NEW YORK AND MAY WE NEVER FORGET 9/11/01..MAY GOD AND ALL HIS ANGELS GREET YOU AT THE GATES OF HEAVEN...AMEN

I met Bob in 1973 when I started working at Fiduciary Trust Company of New York on Wall Street. In 1974 FTCo. moved up to the 94th floor of 2 World Trade Center. Our offices were elaborate with a "beautiful sea of blue carpet" at our feet. I worked with Bob for 7 1/2 years. He was extremely serious when it came to business, but he was also funny and caring. I especially remember how excited he was when he and his wife adopted his daughter. A few years later I also adopted a daughter and we often compared notes. I haven't seen Bob since 1980 but, through mutual FTCo. friends, always extended greetings. I know that he is watching over his wife and children in his caring way.

America Cries

We see your sorrow-

and our hearts cry....

We can not erase your pain

but you do not have to face the anguish alone-for we-

-the American people-

are beside you.

We so desperately want to have the touch that brings you comfort,

the strength that gives you courage,

and the words to lighten your spirits.

And when we are left speechless

may the silence of our nation weave love into your hearts

to ease your sorrow.

May you find healing through our nation's strength as we-

-the American people-

face this difficult time together. Our hearts are with you. Teresa Jahn
