Andrew Marshall King loved to play golf. So did many of his colleagues at Cantor Fitzgerald. Unlike many of them however, he was incredibly skilled at it. So skilled in fact that he was a four handicap and had made three holes-in-one. Three!
He was only forty-two when he was killed on Tuesday, September 11, 2001. He had arrived that morning, as was his practice, by 8:00 a.m. When the first plane hit One World Trade Center, he telephoned his wife Judy to tell her he was on his way down. He had made that long walk to safety previously in his career at Cantor Fitzgerald - on February 26, 1993, when he walked down 104 floors to get out of the building following what history now knows as "the first" World Trade Center bombing. Sadly, of course, on September 11, 2001, history did not repeat itself.
Andrew King graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill in 1983 with a degree in Political Science. He and his wife, Judy, had been married slightly less than fifteen years at the time of his death. He and Judy, lived in Princeton with their three children, CeCe, Drew, and Carly.
