The company Wachtler worked for created the Fred Alger Management Charity Fund in memory of the 35 colleagues who died during the 9/11 attack.
This year, the fund donated $4,500 to the Ramsey PBA Local 155 in memory of Wachtler and his father, Paul, to whom union members were friends with.

"From the initial interaction we had with the Wachtlers and through Greg and Paul's deaths, the Ramsey Police Department established a long-lasting friendship with the Wachtler family," Ramsey police Chief Bryan Gurney previously said. "We remember Greg at every 9/11 memorial service. We will remember our friend, Paul for his happy and friendly spirit. We are also dedicated to Nassima Wachtler and will do anything we can to assist her during this difficult time. This generous donation in the name of both Greg and Paul will most assuredly assist Ramsey police officers, their families, and many others."
