Wellesley Remembers Residents Lost on 9-11 With Ceremony

Wellesley hosts a commemoration and remembrance of the 9-11 terror attacks on Sept. 11 at 9:45 a.m. at the Wellesley Dire Department headquarters on Worcester Street.

Wellesley residents lost in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks were John Cahill, Neilie Case, Edmund Glazer and Patrick Quigly.

“Mad Dog” Cahill was on United Flight 175, and worked at Xerox. Case, who was on American Airlines Flight 11, left behind husband Michael and an infant daughter. Read this update in the Taunton Gazette, which focuses on Case’s daughter ten years later.

Glazer was also on American Airlines Flight 11. As posted on the Let’s Roll Forum, “Edmund Glazer, in Seat 4A, first class, heard the flight attendant instruct the passengers to put away their cell phones and computers, but could not resist punching in his wife Candy’s number anyway. He’d left her in the darkness of their Wellesley, Mass., home and driven away in their black SUV. He was a top financial guy for a high-tech firm, and though business was rough, life seemed good. He’d lost 40 pounds. He and Candy were feeling close. ‘Hi, hon. I made it,’ he said.” Read more references to Glazer on this page of Let’s Roll Forums.

Quigley was on Flight 175, and he and his wife had purchased a home in Wellesley to establish roots there only a year before his death.

This service is hosted by the Wellesley Fire Department, Police Department and Veterans’ Council. Refreshments served.
