Robert Sutcliff - We Remember

Robert Sutcliffe Jr.at 39 nine years old was a young man. He went by Bob. Bob was a HUGE Packers fan from what I gathered and that MIGHT be an understatment!
Bobby as his cousin, Susan writes, was a HUGE packers fan. On Sept. 30, the father and son were supposed to be in Charlotte, N.C., as the Packers played the Carolina Panthers. But Bob Sutcliffe Jr., 39, a broker from Huntington and soon-to-be father of twins, had been attending a breakfast meeting Sept. 11 at Windows on the World in the World Trade Center. He never made it home.
Robert was an only child to Robert Sr and his mother Patricia. Bob was married to his wife Margaret and they had a daughter Kara. Kara was 4 years old at the time. What Bob never learned is that Margaret was carrying twin boys. He knew they were carrying twins, but twin boys was found out later.
At 6 feet tall and 220 pounds, Bobby Sutcliffe was a big man with a great appetite for life. He had advanced from clerk to floor broker after 18 years in the firm of Harvey, Young, Yurman Inc. He spent each day buying and selling millions of shares on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. He often gathered up the leftover deli sandwiches after a day on the stock exchange and handed them out to homeless men while he walked to catch the train back to Long Island. Sutcliffe's firm didn't have offices in the World Trade Center, but its floor brokers met there most Tuesday mornings. They would eat breakfast and talk strategy at Windows on the World - the WTC's well-known restaurant with the breathtaking view of New York.
At her home, Margaret Sutcliffe watched the second plane crash live on television. Like most of America, she felt dazed. She watched the TV coverage for nearly 30minutes before she realized what day of the week it was. "And then I knew," she says. "I said, 'Oh my God. It's Tuesday. Bobby's there.'"
Bobby and his Dad has tickets for the season opener for the Packers. his dad could not bear to go without Bobby. The Sutcliffes' pair of tickets will be used today by another father and son who care deeply about football, and about each other.
The son is a 12-year-old boy named Jamie Arnette. Jamie is a seventh-grader who loves the Panthers, particularly tight end Wesley Walls. The father is Ron Arnette, a local auto mechanic for 29 years. They live in Harrisburg. Jamie has a brain tumor. Everyone hopes and prays it has been treated successfully, although no one knows. The tumor has affected Jamie's growth and his vision, but it hasn't stopped him from playing nose guard on his Pop Warner football team.
I prayer for Margaret his wife, their children and Bobby's parents. He sounds like such a wonderful man. I am sure that he watches over his family daily.
Bobby you are not forgotten.
