FINN was named for TIMOTHY J. FINNERTY, who paid the ultimate price in the attack on America September 11, 2001. Timothy J. Finnerty, 33, Glen Rock, New Jersey, was employed by Cantor Fitzgerald as a broker. Mr. Finnerty lived for basketball. He played as well as coached. As someone who had a lot of fun in life, he had those he coached laughing in short order. The life of the party, a great teacher, and one who did memorable jump shots are things for which Mr. Finnerty is remembered. A 1990 graduate of the University of Scranton, he went on to take his Master's degree from Wagner College in 1994. Mr. Finnerty is survived by his wife, Theresa. We salute Mr. Finnerty, a hero, and name this adorable pup in his honor.
