Obituary
Perpetual Motion
At 34, life was great for Michael Lynch, known to friends as Morty. He was always on the move — running on the shore at the Jersey beach where he lived, doing chores while carrying his year- old daughter, Caroline, in a backpack carrier, working out at a downtown Manhattan gym, dealing with corporate bonds and trusts at Cantor Fitzgerald in the World Trade Center or putting his 6 feet, 8 inches on a basketball court anywhere.
He played basketball at Manhattanville College in Purchase, N.Y., and earned a degree there in business and finance. During high school and college summers, he would fly to Ireland and play in a league in Dublin, not far from his father's family.
If clients wanted to mix basketball with business, they found the right broker. At 6:30 a.m. on Sept. 11, he and a client played basketball at Chelsea Piers. At 8:33 a.m., he was on the phone with his mother making plans for a birthday party a week later for his wife, Michelle, and a nephew and a niece. Later that morning, his mother kept calling his office number. No answer.

Hi, my name is Jocelyn. I am so sorry for your loss. I'm doing a school project about remembering the victims of 9/11 and I'm researching Michael. If you could contact me with any information about him I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you and please accept my deepest sympathies.

Michael and I went to Manhattanville together - the class of 1988. He was truly a lovely person - always a smile and a hello, and never ever the nastiness that is associated with the "jocks." It felt like he just would not be a person to judge others. I cried when I learned that he had died at the towers, and I still cry for him, and for all the others every September 11th.

Michael, I read your profile tonight from the NY Times. It mentioned you were on the phone with your mother on 9/11. By coincidince, she called my office today. She sounded good. She wanted me to say hello to my father. I'm sure she wants to say hello to you someday too.
