T-Shirt
- Description
- Purple T-shirt created for a memorial event held in memory of Robert William O'Shea. On the left breast of the shirt is the yellow logo for the memorial event, with "ROCK" printed below. On the right sleeve is printed "8th Annual | 6-6-09." On the back of the shirt is a larger rendering of the logo, which resembles a person lounging in a chair reading a paper. "And They're Racing... | 'ROCK'" is also printed on the back.
- Historical Notes
- Native New Yorker Robert O’Shea lived in Wall, New Jersey, with his wife, Barbara. He enjoyed Saturday social hours with friends—some of whom he knew from childhood in Manhattan’s Inwood neighborhood—and going to the beach with his extended family. Robert was a senior crude oil broker at Carr Futures. On September 11, he was on the 92nd floor of the North Tower. Robert was 47 years old.
