Lindsay Herkness Obituary
There are few bons vivants who work for a living, and should you doubt that Lindsay C. Herkness III, senior vice president at Morgan Stanley, was among them, you have only to consider his Christmas cards, showing Mr. Herkness in top hat at Ascot, or at Wimbledon, being hustled away by two bobbies. The captions reflected his humor, too. "I only recommended to Her Majesty that she fund an IRA account," read the Wimbledon card.
Fun-loving Lindsay. There was never a cloud in his sky, his old friend Bunny Whiteley said. He lived in the Upper East Side of Manhattan in a "totally male" apartment. He was witty and charming. Women adored him. Even the way he got into the business made an amusing tale: He was fresh out of business school, gave an investment seminar on a cruise ship in exchange for free passage, and at the end of the cruise a dozen well-heeled widows beseeched him to manage their funds. Two true loves, in addition to business and the ladies, were the Union Club and his basset, Beauregard Hound.
Ms. Whiteley said it was Mr. Lindsay's decision not to leave the building. "We understand that when the plane struck -- he was around the 70th floor -- his statement was, 'This is the strongest building in America,' and he went back to his desk."

I can't believe it's been 21 years. Every year we discuss 9/11 and the people who lost their lives doing every day things. We will never forgot you, and keep you and your memory alive in our hearts and on our lips. May God continue to bless you and your family for your ultimate sacrifice.

It's been 20 years since I began wearing your bracelet and praying for you. It is my honor and priviledge to teach my third grade students every year about the heroic sacrifices made by you and the other heroes of September 11th. May God always bless you and your family as we continue to pray for you and those others who made the ultimate sacrifice.

For many years I worked with and knew various people who knew Lindsey. Every year I would see the Christmas cards he would send out to mutual friends/colleagues. Always humorous. Every year he would have a big birthday party for Beauraguard his Basset hound. You were someone if you were invited to that. One day a friend of mine was speaking to him on the phone and passed the phone to me to say hello to him. I said "this is the legendary Lindsey Herkness"! He laughed. He couldn't have been nicer. On September 11th my apartment was across from the Armory. As people were posting photos of missing loved ones I saw a man with a basset hound. I walked over to him and saw him posting a picture of Lindsey. I asked him if the dog was Beaureguard. He said yes. He said Lindsey was his friend and was missing. I was saddened to know that this person I knew of through others over many years was gone. RIP Lindsey.

Lindsey did not die in vain that sad day 18 years ago. RIP sir.

Oh, Lindsey how I would enjoy discussing politics with you, at this moment, in history.
You would, I am certain, find great irony and humor, in a Trump presidency.
You will always be missed...

I am a student who is doing a assignment called "Project Rememberance" and wanted all friends and family to know that as I've been researching his life I'm truly moved by the story's I've heard. He seemed like an amazing person and wish I could have met him, so to all those who care for him I will always have a place for him in my heart. Again you all have my condolences and together we can keep his flame buring bright in history.

I skied with Lindsay in Vail back in the 80's and remember him well. I received his wonderful Christmas cards until Dec 2001. I thought I had dropped off his list but then saw his name on a WTC list. His actions that day do not surpise me. The world lost a very special person that day.

To the family of Lindsay Coates Herkness III. I had the honor of riding to Washington DC yesterday 9/11/13 with thousands of other motorcyclists. We were there to remember those lost and those that fight to this day to keep anything like that from happening again. We each were given a name tag of a person who had died that horrible day, and I wore Lindsay's. I just wanted you to know, he was being thought of.

I visited the 911 tribute center. I randomly bought a bracelet. They have them there to purchase in memory of those who died on 911 who still remain missing. I looked up his name and found this site and a few others. I just wanted you to know that a woman in Youngstown, Ohio is honoring him by wearing this bracelet. ITs wonderful to read all the amazing stories and what an amazing man he was.

You have been in my thoughts all week long. It hardly seems that eleven years have passed since that terrible day when we lost you.
I hope you know, wherever you are, that there are many people whose lives you touched in a profoundly positive way. The world is a bleaker place without you and your wonderful dog!

My family and I prayed for you today, as we have every year since 9/11. We never knew you, but I have worn your name on a bracelet every day for the past ten years. I look at it ever day and wonder what kind of life you would have had, and how all our lives would have been different. Your are always in my heart and on my mind. May God Bless You Always.

Dearest Lindsay,
We prayed for you, today, at Caravita church, in Rome. I told the other members of the Caravita community how special, decent and kind you were. I placed your named in the book of remembrance and our priests will pray for you in perpetuity. I will never forget you. Your life was cut short but you will forever be in the hearts and minds of the people whose lives you touched.

I never knew Mr. Herkness. I can honestly say that I doubt our paths would have ever crossed. The ten year anniversary of the September 11 attacks is approaching and my son's high school, in Alabama, has planned a memorial to honor the victims. The students were each assigned a person to "remember." My son was assigned Lindsay Coates Herkness III. As a result of hours of research and reading the many thoughtful accounts of Mr. Herkness' love of life and indelible spirit, I feel what I can only describe as grief. I just wanted all of you who knew him, to know that he will be remembered and his life celebrated.

Lindsay, you drove me crazy as your assistant, but you were devoted to your clients and that drew my deepest respect for you. I remember you very fondly, and think of you often. As I did long before your passing. I hope that your family and friends feel peace knowing you are in a better place. My best thoughts to you old friend, and know that as long as I am around, you will not be forgotten.

I'll never forget how I saw a full paage ad with you holding a tennis racquet in "Scientifican American." You looked so dashing that I called you up (your name was in the ad and I guessed you lived in NYC). To my surprise, you asked me out and we dated several times, with me holding back because I could instantly tell you were a "confirmed bachelor" and I wanted a husband some day.
But, the few times we went out, I was mesmerized by you...everything about you, your lifestyle, your energy, your world.
I knew your worked at Morgan Stanley and cried when I saw your face as one of the missing exactly 2 years ago.
May you rest in peace.
Your friend,

Lindsay had the resources to do whatever he pleased - and that was being at his desk every morning before 8 o'clock. He was the ultimate role model for the young employees, always doing the right thing for the client, regardless of commissions. He also had principals - when his own assistant was downsized, he threatened to quit on the spot if she was not reinstated immediately.

I will alwsys remember your words of encouragement when I was starting up my investment business, and your support when I was a Board Member of the Phoenix co-op.You and my father-in-law Henry we're kindred bachelor spirits, bon vivantes and gentlemen with wit and great humor.
Our family will always miss getting your great Christmas cards.

I had the pleasure of working for Lindsay at MSDW some years ago. I have thought often of him in the years since my employment and always smiled when I thought of his quick wit or confidence. I remember watching Lindsay glide around the office from broker to broker, talking and laughing and having a purpose. I respected him greatly. He was intelligent, worldly and kind. He was a good guy, a really good guy. He will be missed.

Although I didn't allow myself to get to know you better when we met you 16 years ago, I wish I had.
I still cannot get over the fact that you are gone. Rest in peace, my friend.

Lindsay was very much like a rare bird, his personality and presence so arresting and impossible to grasp. I have a permanment vision of him gliding purposefully down a corridor at 120 Broadway, one hand thrust in his pocket and his eyes full of intent and sparkle - like a hummingbird, with so many blooms to probe before the day's end. Not too long ago I sent him a cotton blossom grown on my farm in North Carolina. I like to think he kept the downy fruit in his tower perch -a link with the earth, to which he has now returned.

You are always in my thoughts and I am grateful for the time we shared working together at Morgan Stanley. To my superman who could be on the go 20 hours a day and then return to work at 7am for another action packed morning, noon and night.

Lindsay subscribed to one of our newsletters on alternative health. I first met him at an anti-aging conference in Las Vegas. As with all other things, he was passionate about that. I made to the Christmas card list and continued to see Lindsay now and then at health conferences.
Very sad to lose him. My deepest sympathy to his family.

We so desperately want to have the touch that brings you comfort,
the strength that gives you courage,
and the words to lighten your spirits.
And when we are left speechless
may the silence of our nation weave love into your hearts
to ease your sorrow.
May you find healing through our nation's strength as we-
-the American people-
face this difficult time together. Our hearts are with you. Teresa Jahn

Lindsay Herkness is a friend from my past...many years ago when Morgan Stanley was Reynolds & Co., even before Reynolds Securities, when Jim Bach and Vona Hopkins ran the mutual fund department. These were great years when the 120 Broadway was the center of Reynolds universe and TF Staley, Stetch Gardiner and Keith Wellin were running the show
. Lindsay was a top level producer 1 of 2 in the 120 "Boardroom." He was always "up", always willing to share an idea, and always respected. While I had lost track of Lindsay, he was never forgotten. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, wherevever that may be. PEB

Although I did not know Lindsay, the NY Times article touched me because we shared a passion for basset hounds. I had earlier saw a friend of Linday's on tv with Beauregard. He is a very handsome basset and will miss Linday very much, as bassets are very loving and loyal to their humans. But they will see each other in heaven when the time is right for them to be together again.
