Jeffrey Coale ’88 Honored During 9/11 Memorial<br />

Chapel<br />

Tree planted on Campus<br />

Green in Coale’s memory<br />

<strong>Episcopal</strong>’s Class of 1988 celebrated<br />

the life of classmate Jeffrey<br />

Coale during the 9/11 Memorial<br />

Chapel on September 11th. Jeff<br />

was the only <strong>Episcopal</strong> alumnus to lose<br />

their life during the attacks on September<br />

11, 2001. Jeff was pursuing his dream<br />

to become a world-class chef and was<br />

working in the Windows on the World<br />

restaurant atop the World Trade Center<br />

on the morning of the attack.<br />

In attendance at the Chapel service<br />

were Jeff’s parents, Joan and Bill Coale,<br />

other members of the Coale family,<br />

and members of EA’s Class of ’88. Jeff’s<br />

longtime friend, Sean Casey ’88 gave a<br />

moving tribute to Jeff during the service.<br />

A transcript of his talk can be found on the school Web site<br />

by going to School Life/Chapel Program/Chapel Talks.<br />

Sean’s speech tied <strong>this</strong> year’s chapel theme “Esse Quam<br />

Videri” with the way Jeff lived his life: authentically. After the<br />

service, Drew McLuckie ’88 led a procession to a young tree<br />

on the Campus Green. The tree was generously donated by<br />

The Class of 1988 in Jeff’s memory.<br />
