From September 11 Memories

Phil Rosenzweig of Sun Microsystems died on board American Airlines Flight 11.

Phil's remains were discovered on September 13, 2001, and he was identified many months later using DNA testing. Phil was buried on Sunday, August 26, 2002, in the Beit Olam Cemetery in Wayland, MA. Phil's body is resting peacefully, and his spirit lives on through our memories of how he enriched our lives.
