The Hulk

At just thirty-five years of age, Seth Allan Morris was already a Master of the Universe on Wall Street.  A bond broker for Cantor Fitzgerald, he had been promoted to Managing Director and Partner when he was only thirty-four.  He had been with Cantor Fitzgerald since before the 1993 terror attack at the World Trade Center where, on February 26, 1993, he carried a pregnant woman on his back down to the ground floor and to safety from the North Tower's 103rd floor.  He was so physically fit and in such great shape that his sister-in-law, Joanne Mooney, referred to him as "The Hulk".  

He and his wife, Lynn, were the proud parents of three children, Madilynn, Kyle, and Hayley, who were ten, eight, and six years old respectively, on Tuesday, September 11, 2001.  On that terrible Tuesday morning, Seth Morris was in his office on the 105th floor of the North Tower when the murderous cowards who had hijacked American Airlines Flight 11 after its departure that morning from Boston's Logan Airport, flew the jet into the North Tower's 93rd through 99th floors at 8:46 am.  

He was legendary in his family for his relentless energy level.  Lynn noted that her husband slept just four hours a night and, yet, never seemed tired.  Regardless of how busy work was, the most important part of his day - every day - was the time he spent with his wife and his three children
