To his co-workers at the Aon Corporation on the 93rd floor of 2 World Trade Center, Franklin Pershep was the Bagel Man. First he would bring in two or three dozen to celebrate someone's wedding, promotion or new baby, said his daughter, Stacy, then later, for no reason. He bought them at a shop near his home in Bensonhurst that Stacy also visited. "They'd say, 'Oh Stacy, your dad was here, he paid for your bagel and coffee this morning,'" she recalled.
"Oh, he was so corny, so corny," she said. "As a little girl I remember saying to my father, `When are you going to grow up, Dad?' and he would say, `Why? Why do I have to grow up?' " Mr. Pershep, 59, loved his story of the Incredible Shrinking Cubicle. He knew his co-workers were pushing in the walls of his office a tiny bit each day, but he wouldn't let on that he noticed, even when he had to turn sideways to get inside. His daughter didn't know what he had done first to deserve such a prank, but she thinks it was probably something good.

Viewing the site for the first time. I am truly amazed by the all the hard work and dedication it took to create. I am looking forward to seeing everything in person on the 11th. Dad - you would be very proud of the tribute here for you. Thank you Stacy Joy for all that you have done to make sure that dad was represented so beautifully!

Frank Pershep
I actually spoke to Mr Pershep on the phone earlier that morning . It was sometime after 8:30am (since there was when I got to work) . He called and asked to speak to my boss , and I said , “ Sorry Mr Pershep, he is not in this morning,” and Mr Pershep replied wit a laugh, “I’m not Mr Pershep , Mr Pershep is my father, just call me Frank” . —- any time he called , I referred to him as Mr Pershep and he would say it every time. He seemed like a very jolly soul and it’s like I can hear his voice to this day. I never was able to place a face with his voice until I searched him up. I think me and my coworker tried calling him multiple times that day.
