**JEFFREY MARC CHAIRNOFF, 35, of West Windsor N.J., died Sept. 11, 2001
From football to Food Network: that was the journey that Jeffrey Chairnoff had made over the last few years.
Before he became a father, Mr. Chairnoff, 35, liked to spend his Sundays during the fall and winter watching football games. It was the perfect way to unwind, said his wife, Helaine, after an intense workweek at Sandler O'Neill & Partners, where he eventually became managing director of the mortgage financing group. Not that he was a stereotypical type-A Wall Street guy: if anything, co- workers told Mrs. Chairnoff that her husband was a calm ballast noted for his thoroughness and attention to detail.
Still, after Sarah, 6, and Benjamin, 2, were born, Mr. Chairnoff changed his lifestyle to accommodate everyone but himself.
He was dubbed Mr. Clean by his family because of his tendency to keep the kitchen spotless. And he loved to watch the Food Network. He printed out recipes, and he was particularly fond of making peanut butter pie with his daughter. His favorite show was "Emeril," because it was Sarah's, too.

**John McAvoy, a firefighter assigned to Ladder Company 3 in Manhattan, did not hesitate to speak his mind -- even when it made him sound opinionated. But his wife and two brothers have even more to say than he did.
Paula McAvoy remembers her handsome husband as a figure of power and grace on the rink. Mr. McAvoy, 47, coached hockey teams on Staten Island, where he lived with her, their children Kate and Kevin, and the family dog, Zoo. Mrs. McAvoy had to drag him onto the dance floor. "And yet he skated beautifully," she said.
Michael McAvoy, the youngest McAvoy brother, said Mr. McAvoy "never gave up on me when there were times I gave up on myself." George McAvoy, the oldest one, recalled that the "incredibly protective" John, out on a jog, once pulled two elderly people out of a burning house, went back for their cat, then continued on his run.

**JIMMIE IRA HOLLEY, 54, of Lanham, Md., an accountant at the Pentagon, survived a tour in Vietnam with the Army, a kidney transplant and quadruple bypass surgery. For a time, that resilience gave his family hope he would be found alive. His remains were identified last week. "Pop-Pop is not coming back," said his 4-year-old granddaughter, Kayla Walker. "His eyes are closed. The bad man got him."

**Deora Bodley, a 20-year-old college junior from California, was returning from an East Coast visit with friends when she boarded United Flight 93, which crashed in Pennsylvania. Bodley was devoted to helping kids. "She really touched many lives," said Kathy Almazol, principal of the school where Bodley tutored 2nd graders this summer.
