Dad remembers daughter killed on 9/11 in WTC attack: 'My life has not been the same since'

WEST BEND, WISC. (1010 WINS) -- "One of the hardest things to do, is to describe to people, missing someone," said Gordon Haberman, whose daughter Andrea was 25-years-old when she was working at a brokerage firm at the World Trade Center's North Tower and killed in the September 11 terror attack.

"My life has not been the same since September 11, 2001," he told the Associated Press in an interview (above).

Haberman cherishes mementos left behind by Andrea, including her paintings and greetings cards she gave him for birthdays.

He decided to donate to New York City's 9/11 Memorial & Museum the items on her person when she was killed. This included her eyeglasses, checkbook credit card, car and house keys, and her cell phone.

Andrea Haberman's cell phone was recovered from the rubble of the North Tower, and is now at the 9/11 Memorial & Museum.

Haberman has also traveled to Guantanamo Bay four times for the trials against the alleged 9/11 conspirators.

He also has helped erect a 9/11 memorial in the Wisconsin town Andrea grew up in.
