That was discussed and we determined that if his computer was set to come to the forums as a home page, it would show him as logged in... There was a thread looking for him that was up top for at least several weeks after 9/11, and there was never a response.
There was never any confirmation that I am aware of, but given his regular and active presence on the boards, his location, and his sudden disappearance, the reasonable assumption was made that HawkeyeNJ was at the very least personally impacted by the events and possibly killed.
9/11 made us all re-examine our priorities, and some postulated that perhaps his new priorities no longer included Anandtech, but I feel that, since it would have only taken a single post to alleviate our fears, he must have been somehow prevented from doing so.
Now, a year later, I think that we can only assume that he was one of the lost, and remember him fondly for his contributions to the forums and his sense of humor.
RIP HawkeyeNJ
