Alexey Razuvaev left Russia and came to the United States in 1994, just about the same time, as it happened, as Natalia Loginova. They knew each other casually, though mutual friends.

If Thomas Glasser had filled out an occupation form, it would have looked something like this: philosophy major- track star-stand up comic-restaurant owner-bartender-partner at Sandler O'Neill. Mr. Glasser was not a typical Wall Street guy, said his wife, Meg.

"He walked in the door, and I knew that he was my husband." Memorial reading for Thomas I Glasser is taken from his paid notice published in THE NEW YORK TIMES on September 30, 2001.

As a boy in Karachi, Pakistan, Tariq Amanullah was obsessed with building things. Whenever his father went away on business, he would ask him to bring back a "how to" book of some sort.

Roko Camaj had a job few would envy: window washer at the World Trade Center. Several times a year, suspended 1,300 feet above earth, he and his partner would suds up the 107th floor windows, the highest windows on the building and too wide for the building's automated window-washing system.

More than once, Matthew Yarnell's mother hung up on him. He would call, disguising his voice, and try to sell her a random product — pool supplies, anything.

There are few bons vivants who work for a living, and should you doubt that Lindsay C. Herkness III, senior vice president at Morgan Stanley, was among them, you have only to consider his Christmas cards, showing Mr. Herkness in top hat at Ascot, or at Wimbledon, being hustled away by two bobbies. The captions reflected his humor, too. "I only recommended to Her Majesty that she fund an IRA account," read the Wimbledon card. Memorial reading for Lindsay C.

Francisco Cruz was not much for words — the kind of guy who would go to a party, look over the dance floor and head straight for a dark, quiet corner. When Mr. Cruz, a security guard for Summit Security in the World Trade Center, did have something to say, he let his guitar speak for him, spewing out fiery renditions of tunes by Jimi Hendrix, Carlos Santana and Jose Feliciano. "Music was his life," said his brother Tomas Cruz. "It allowed him to escape outside of himself. He would just come alive."
