A Southampton University graduate, Richard Dawson had a masters in electronic engineering.
He initially worked in Fareham, buying a house and renting his spare rooms to university friends who were continuing to study.
After a brief flirtation with the ambition to become a fighter pilot in the RAF, Richard settled on engineering – and a mission to climb the ranks in his industry.
Helen said: “He always said he wanted his boss’s job one day, he made no secret of that. He worked hard, but enjoyed the socializing – he loved his food and drink. He was a regular with his friends on a Friday night at a restaurant in St Mary’s, so much so they even consulted him on changing the menu. I often wonder if they ever knew why he hasn’t been back.”
Thinking about Anthony on this difficult day.
I was working as a client manager at an insurance broker (Aon) the day after 9/11 when I received a call from my Thales contact to inform me Anthony had been a victim of the 9/11 attack and that a claim would follow. Knowing he was English and my age at the time proudly upset me for some time. I couldn't help thinking how unlucky he had been. Aon lost 176 staff in the attack which was tragic but it was that call that got to me most. On this day 25 years on, I stand united with his family and friends in remembering Anthony and praying for his soul. God bless you all.
