Cranford Remembers Fallen Residents of 9/11 With Ceremony

To commemorate the six Cranford residents who lost their lives on Sept. 11, 2011, the Interfaith Human Relations Committee of Cranford Clergy Council will host a remembrance ceremony at 7 p.m.

A Color Guard from Boy Scout Troop 80 will meet with the family members affected by the attacks at the First Presbyterian Church of Cranford. The families will then be escorted across the street to memorial, where the public will honor Dean Eberling, Christopher Grady, Robert Lynch, Gregory Milanowycz, Thomas Regan and Leonard Snyder, who lost their lives during the attacks.

The six names of the fallen will be read as a wreath is placed down at the memorial. Then, The First Presbyterian Church of Cranford will ring its bells six times in honor of the six, followed by prayer.

“Let’s remember this day, for hate and anger and fear does not hold sway,” Reverend John Kile, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Cranford said at the 2011 memorial. “And if you look around, just at the faces here, it has proved positive that faith, hope, and love, will win the day.”
