Jimmy Storey
Jimmy N. Storey’s wife, Pam, does not believe the way her husband died makes him an automatic hero. But the flood of letters she received after Sept. 11 from people whose lives he had touched and careers he had mentored as far back as the 1970’s made her deeply proud of the heroic figure he had been during his life.
A senior vice president for Marsh & McLennan based in Houston, Mr. Storey was visiting the company’s offices in the World Trade Center on Sept. 11. After his death, Ms. Storey said, letters poured in from as far away as Spokane, Wash., where the couple lived 22 years ago when Mr. Storey worked for Aetna Insurance.
Mr. Storey, 58, was a voracious reader of mysteries, an avid history buff and a doting father and grandfather. His daughter Cynthia used to call him daily with problems and questions about personal and world events. Often, he picked up her children from the day care center near his Houston office when she needed help.
His other daughter, Tracey, recalls his lending her money to open her first bank account — and taking it away after she spent it, violating the terms of the loan. Ms. Storey took to heart the lesson about trust and its boundaries. "It takes a certain love and respect for your children to be able to teach them things like that," she said.

I never knew him or heard of him before...but I had a weird visit in my room about a year ago, in which I heard a voice telling me that they died in WTC1. He wanted me to let his family know he was OK. When I looked into it the next morning, this was the only "Jimmy" that was listed...and he was from Houston, where I'm from and where I live. I tried to contact the family, even though I worried I'd be cursed out or something. Sigh...I wish I could tell the family what happened.

I had the pleasure of working with Jimmy in the early 90's when he would visit our Kansas City office to help with budgeting. Jimmy was simply one of the best.
My heartfelt condolences to his family.

I had the pleasure of working with and knowing Jim. I will always remember him as a serious and meticulous man - but also a man with a ready smile and a sense of humor. I never think of 9/11 without thinking of Jim - he will forever be remembered well.

Ten years later I still miss Jimmy, good friend, friendly adversary at budget meetings, fellow book lover and quiet hero.
A measure of justice has been achieved but it's a poor substitute for Jimmy's presence and companionship.
God bless Pam and family.

I worked in the insurance industry from the time I gradated from high school im 1963. That is how I worked with Marsh & Mc and spoke with Jim many times. Unbeknownst to me, he has married Pam Young, a classmate I had graduated with in Athens, TX. I did not get the connecting info until after 9-11.
He was always extremely knowledgable and helpful and as such was so well respected.
My continued condolences to Pam and the family.

I didn't know Jimmy but I have worked at Marsh for many years. I go on this site to read about our lost colleagues and to let their families and friends know that they are not forgotten.
I hope his family has been able to find some peace after all these years.

Now that bin Laden is dead, may Jimmy rest in peace. Pam, I think of you and your family often and remember the good times at Bissonnet Plaza in Houston. My prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Storey Family,
I was thinking of you today as we near the Christmas holiday, and wanted to express my blessings to you all. It has been almost a decade, and yet it seems like yesterday. I hope that your hearts are healing a bit, and that the happy memories of Jimmy are filling your hearts with the rememberances of the good times you had as a family. One voice from Tulsa,(Jimmy was our region's finance king), just to say God Bless you all. I have not forgotten you, and I know that oh so many MMC colleagues have not forgotten you either. Peace be with you. Becky Reaves Clary, Tulsa

My thoughts are with the families of those who died on 9/11. As a former Marsh employee, I lost many friends that day - and still feel the horror of watching the unthinkable occur.

Jimmy was my third cousin. I grew up along side his younger brother Tim. Jim was a Texas Aggie and a true credit to what all Aggies the world over hold dear, love for God, this nation and our families. I pray for his wife and children and his brother on the 6th anniversary of his passing.
Rest in Blessed Peace,
Mark

I worked with Jimmy in the Dallas office. I loved working for him and with him. He was very dedicated to his work, but also loved to have fun while working. I have happy memories of him. Getting budgets together was hard but fun memories.
Thanks for the memories, Jimmy, see you in Heaven soon.

Jim Storey was a very unique person. A comin-right-at-'ya kind of guy, Jim always said what he meant and meant what he said. During some frequent visits to the Houston office back in the early 90's, I enjoyed jogging with Jim during lunch hour (although I thought he was absolutely "nuts" to do it during those hot, muggy, summer days which Houston is noted for). He seemed during that time to be very happy with his life. And I know he cared very much about his wife and family and always mentioned them during the course of a day. My deepest sympathies and condolences to his family, friends and colleagues. He was a force who will be missed.

Before I retired I was the Office Head of the MMI office in Tulsa. Because of my position and Jimmy's in the Houston Office we had weekly contact for five years. As a financial officer he was tough and extremely capable. We stayed in touch following my retirement. Just three weeks prior to his death he sent me an e-mail picture of him holding a new grandbaby. One of my biggest regrets was not realizing the importance of this because I deleted it a few days after I received it. He was a great friend and I miss him.
