John T. Schroeder was 31 years of age and lived in Hoboken, New Jersey. John helped bring Princeton University its first national lacrosse championship in 1992, and was an accomplished athlete who continued to play lacrosse and touch football throughout his adult life. More importantly, the consensus from his family and friends was that he was the nicest, most generous and funniest guy you could meet.
Schroeder, 31, was a Nasdaq stock trader with Fred Alger Management, and was reportedly at a breakfast meeting with members of his former firm in Windows on the World restaurant atop the World Trade Center when the first hijacked plane struck. He had been with Fred Alger on the 93rd floor of the North Tower only since July of that same year.
New York Times Portraits of Grief
Everyone at Princeton, it seemed, knew him as Stinky. The nickname was applied to John T. Schroeder, for reasons now unclear, when he visited the campus as a high school lacrosse recruit. In the first week of freshman year, "he was introduced to me as Stinky," a classmate, David Shefferman, recalled, "and I thought he must have been at least a sophomore." The two later played on a national championship team.
Eventually the nickname became the norm. An eating club friend once pointed out the prevalence of nicknames on the lacrosse team and said, "Stinky, you're the only one who doesn't have a nickname."
The nickname stuck as Mr. Schroeder, 31, played lacrosse for clubs while he worked on Wall Street; he joined Fred Alger Management as an equity trader in July. "There were different sides to him and they were all a lot of fun," Mr. Shefferman said.
Friends recall his sharp wit, which he often turned on himself. When his Princeton class wore basketball outfits in a reunion parade, he donned oversize glasses and wildly dribbled a basketball in goofy tribute to a former professional basketball player, Kurt Rambis of the Los Angeles Lakers. One Halloween he was Paul Stanley of the rock band Kiss; another time he made an Elvis costume and found many other excuses to wear it, said his roommate, Kevin Coulter. "He seemed to celebrate Halloween throughout the year," Mr. Coulter said.
