*Tewksbury man's remains in WTC disaster positively
identified *
By ** Associated Press
TAUNTON, Mass. - *The remains of Peter A. Gay
who
was aboard one of the hijacked planes
that crashed into the World Trade Center September 11
have been been positively identified*,
and were expected to be returned
home later this week, according to family members.
FBI agents broke the news to Gay's wife, Linda, Tuesday night, a
brother of the victim, attorney David Gay, told the Taunton Daily
Gazette.
A native of Taunton, Peter Gay, 54, lived with his family in
Tewksbury.
The family was told that the remains were identified
*through fingerprints, dental records or
DNA*.
The remains
were discovered lastFriday along with the remains of a few other people.
A family member said* there was no indication what
condition the remains
were in.*
David Gay said the remains probably would not be returned to
Massachusetts by the New York City medical examiner's office until
later
in the week. A funeral Mass will be held in Taunton for friends
and family only, he said, and burial probably would be in
Tewksbury.
''In the long run, it will be good closure,'' said David Gay.
''In the short term, it's almost like starting over.''
A memorial Mass, in which Peter Gay's daughter Larissa Lynne sang a
song called ''Song to Dad'' before hundreds of mourners in
Lowell,
was
celebrated on Sept. 19.
Gay, the father of two adult sons and an eight-year-old daughter,
was aboard American Airlines Flight 11
which was hijacked after it
left Boston and crashed into the WTC towers.
A vice president and general manager of Raytheon Co. in
Andover, Gay had been making weekly commutes to Los Angeles
to supervise development
of Patriot missiles at a new California plant.
The number of missing stood yesterday at 4,339. Of the 478 people
whose
remains have been recovered, 425 have been identified.
