When NY Times published all the 9/11 obituaries this one stuck with me — Eddie Zambrana Jr “He taught children ages 6 to 18 everything from layups to fundamentals to defense…”

EDWIN ZAMBRANA JR.
Love and Basketball
Edwin Zambrana Jr. almost died in a car accident when he was 13. And for the next few years, the fun-loving young man became a shy, sensitive young man with the scar on his face, his self-es-teem all but drained.
But
Mr.
known
Zambrana,
as
Eddie, over-
came his difficulties by doing his best to help others.
First he took care of his mother, who has lupus. It was practically his full-time job. A few years ago, he started his own unofficial basketball clinic in his neighborhood in Stat-en Island.
Basketball, said Edwin Zambrana Sr., was his son's true passion. He was scheduled to have a tryout with a professional team in
Puerto Rico in March 2002. He
taught children ages 6 to 18 everything from layups to fundamentals to defense. And what started as an informal session flowered into intense classes in which up to 100 children participated.
Then, not long before Sept. 11, 2001, Mr.
Zambrana, 24, took a job as a maintenance worker at the World Trade Center, joining his father. Father got out; son did not.
Next year, Mr. Zambrana hopes to start a Eddie Zambrana basketball clinic, complete with
T-shirts, right in front of the Zambrana house. If anyone wants to look, Mr. Zambrana will also be glad to show his new tattoo on his left arm. It says, "Eddie, Always Missing You. My Hero. 9-11-01."
