ZUCKER was named after ANDREW STEVEN ZUCKER, who paid the ultimate price in the attack on America September 11, 2001. Andrew Zucker of New York, New York, age 27, was an associate with Harris Beach, where he was working at the World Trade Center Tower Two when he lost his life on that tragic day. A graduate of the Benjamin Cardozo School of Law of Yeshiva University in New York, Mr. Zucker poured his all into his chosen field. A former volunteer firefighter, Mr. Zucker organized his office's evacuation after the first tower was hit. He, therefore, was the last to leave his office. After helping others, he died in the building. He was the kind of guy if you met you didn't forget. Mr. Zucker is survived by his wife, Erica, and his then-unborn child, Jason. We salute Mr. Zucker, a hero, and name this sweet puppy in his honor.
