Howard Lee Kane was 40 years old and from Hazlet, New Jersey. (Born: Englewood, New Jersey).
Howard was the comptroller at Windows on the World on the 107th floor in the North Tower of the World Trade Center.
Having struggled with Crohn's disease for most of his life, Howard had little patience for anyone in a bad mood. His tonic was laughter, and whether it was a new joke he would e-mail to friends or a funny story about that day at the office, he had the gift to make people smile.
His wife, Lori, said he loved his job because it combined his passion for cooking with a view he called "halfway to heaven."
