Michael McHugh Obituary
Michael McHugh could have stayed in London. Cantor Fitzgerald had sent him there in January to open the firm's energy desk. It meant more ‹ possibly a lot more ‹ money and a new future, and his wife, Maria, was ready for it.
But Mr. McHugh, 35, the sales director of Cantor's TradeSpark division, had sunk his roots too deep in Tuckahoe, a village in Westchester County.
He started as an adjunct member of the village's planning board and quickly moved up to chairman. He loved the town because it was so pleasant and because of all the "normal, unpretentious people" who live there, Mrs. McHugh said.
So in April, Mr. McHugh returned, to Maria and the three kids and the fixer-upper they had bought before they thought they could afford to live in Tuckahoe. Mr. McHugh came back so that his son Michael would not have to change soccer teams and so that he himself could run for the county board of legislators. Now his widow is running in his place in Tuesday's election.
"I thought, 'I really can't leave this hanging out,' " she said. "I have to finish it up. To complete a journey that we started."

Michael,
You are will not be forgotten. The world is crazy with the last 2 years in a pandemic. Political and social issues and changes.
After 20 years, the remembrances carried on and the loss from that tragic day is still so real.
You are still loved and missed by all those who you knew and loved.
We will always remember and never forget all of the September 11th victims.
Praying for you always.

Mike was a great man. He was my broker in the late 90's. I moved on to Business Development/Origination and was no longer dealing directly with Mike.
It's 1999, Mike calls me out of the blue to check on me. I was going through a divorce so not doing so great. He invited me to play golf with his boss and him. He had a very full schedule and I suggested he call someone else as presently I was really of no use commercially to him.
He responded that he was inviting me because we were friends and not dealing directly was not relevant. We had a great time and I'll always appreciate his kindness and how incredibly thoughtful he was, I miss him.

Mike was someone very special to me. He was my sister Kim's boyfriend when I was between the ages of 15 & 18 and he had a huge impact on my life. In the three years that I knew him, he was like a big brother to me. He always went out of his way to include me in things they did, even though I'm sure my sister wasn't always happy about it. He listened when I needed someone to and gave advice when he thought I needed it. I'm not sure if he ever knew how much I looked up to him but it was pretty obvious so he probably did.
Mike would always bring his dog Goofy to our house, he was the cutest, goofiest most loveable mutt of a dog you ever saw. Mike loved that dog, we all did and we had so much fun with him. We were all devastated when Goofy got out of his yard and never came back. Mike, Kim and myself put up signs all over New Rochelle and looked for weeks if not months for that crazy mutt.
Mike was a generous guy with a huge heart, he went out of his way for me on many occasions. He even took me to see the Monsters Of Rock show at Giants Stadium, an all day event in the sweltering sun because he knew I was a huge Metallica fan.
Mikes influence on me at that age was something that stays with me as a 40 year old man. It's taught me how important it is to be a role model and how something small that you do, can stay with a person their whole lives. It helped shaped my relationship with my step children and my desire to be to them what Mike was to me.

Michael, I lit the candle last night, and put it on my front stairs, and I will again tonight, as I have done every year in your memory.. and when I came over to my daughter's house this morning, I saw a lighted candle on her front porch as well. We will never forget you or your wonderful family. You are always in our hearts. Laurie and Jim Cassidy

Dear Michael
After all these years I still get so choked up thinking about you, your love for life and your tragic end.
Chris and I made our first visit to Ireland for your wedding. As our Irish kin would say, what a grand time was had. Like Kerrianne, I like to think I live my life a little differently because of you.
Till we meet again.
Your first cousin once removed!

Hi Michael!
It's your cousin Kerrianne...my mom Eileen and your dad are cousins...so we are first cousins once removed? haha! Sort of the running joke in the family..lots of cousins and we all don't see each other unless it's a funeral, wedding or reunion!!! I think we need more reunion don't you think? :) haha!
Well I write to tell you...because of you I live my life differently...life is way too short as the saying goes...enjoy everything now...be a good person...and love your family
I still can't believe this really happened to you...we miss you...everybody does...and even though we weren't as close growing up since you were much older than me...your family are one of my favorite people in this world...your mom, dad, brother and sister are the best and when i see them I miss you. I still remember when i was 13 and meeting you at my nana's "Tess") funeral and you spoke to me not as a kid but as an adult! Wow my big older cousin! Now I'm 31, and I wish I had more time to get to know you...to boogie on the dance floor at a wedding or consol each other at a funeral....and to see your journey in life with your wonderful family....
I hope where ever you are... it's wonderful and you are peaceful...i hope you are getting to see all the GREAT relatives up there...and i hope you shed a guiding light on all of us here.
You came to me in a dream years ago and you told me you were "ok"...and i do trust you are...."ok" :)
Till our next conversation Michael!
Love

Dear Michael,
I have your picture at work where I see it every day(next to the one of my sister- Eileen McHugh Levicky)-and I often wonder if you two have become friends up there--I think you probably have.
Do you know that I think of you each morning as I start my work day? And that I offer up my day here to you--to live it truly in your honor...to try and make this world a kinder place, by my actions.
I keep you very close in my heart, near that hole that never fully heals, never forgets, and I pray for us all, but especially for your wonderful family, John and Darby,
for your beautiful courageous Maria, and your 3 champions,Michael, Christian and Connor.
-and I pray for Eileen and Michael, who I have always thought of as amazing people, but am convinced more than ever of that now.
Until we meet again, dear Michael, miss you and love you.
xoxo Laurie(McHugh)Cassidy

As I was researching a domain name for a new business venture, I happened upon Legacy.com. I was so touched by all the wonderful entries paying tribute to Michael and the support and love for his family.
My husband, Michael McNally, worked with Mike at several different Wall Street Companies. As the story goes, these guys never lose touch, and they pull eachother from place to place. Michael McHugh had brought my husband to Cantor, and my husband had tried to bring him to the next company. It was the irony of the day that my husband was 3 blocks from the World Trade Center as it was attacked and stood immobile as it collapsed. His very first words were of his dear friends, Michael McHugh and Ward Haynes. There were so many others that he thought of during that time and up until now. But those two gentlemen tore a hole in his heart that will never close.
He can still remember thinking how was he the one that moved on and his friends stayed behind. The good men of Wall Street are tied and true to one another. It was as though he had lost a part of himself. I am sure he has. It was fate that brought them all together, and an unknown destiny that shattered each and everyone of them.
I just wanted to make sure that 2005 didn't pass without someone writing about Michael. He was a very good soul, a dear friend, and a loving husband and father. I knew him best through the stories my husband told and the stories they shared about their Italian wives and beautiful children.
I have been Blessed to get to know Maria more with each passing year. She is a wonderful, strong, admirable person. I only wish we could have made the "boys" happy by getting to know eachothers families better before September 11th.
Whatever our destiny, may Michaels' legacy live on through the love and spirit of Maria, Michael, Christian and Connor.
Our Love & Thoughts Are With The McHugh Family Now and For Always,

Dear Maria,
I don't know if you read these online posts. I have been trying to get your email address but have had no luck. I wanted to write to you today on the 3 year anniversary and tell you that I think of you and Michael often. I will always remember meeting you guys in White Plains with the exciting news of becoming engaged.
No words that I can say will make today any easier for you. My faith tells me that we will one day join our loved ones in a place where sorrow does not exist. My heart is always with you Maria and your boys. I just wanted to let you know that I think and pray for you and your family all the time.
May God continue to send His love upon you and the boys, and may Michael's spirit warm your heart for eternity.
All my love,
I-95

Hi Mike,
It's September 5th and I can hardly believe three years have nearly passed. I wanted to write you and share another moment.
This past week I took advantage of some free time and took the kids out for a little bit. We ended up at the park and, as the girls played soccer, the boys had a touch football game (Connor was with Maria). Christian and Joseph vs. Michael and J.P.. It was one of those quintessential moments where, at least to me, it was vividly apparent you were not there. The boys played and, as I know you can imagine, two hand touch turned into a quasi-tackle game. They had a ball. I think you would have done a better job at QB than I did.....I see you in the boys and again, know somehow and in some way you see them and know at that moment they were enjoying themselves.
I snapped a picture this weekend of all 8 children. I've taken thousands of pictures of the kids over the years and this year it hit me. Labor day of 01 I snapped a similar shot not knowing the horrible week that would follow. Now, as I take these shots, I like to think you have a way of seeing the boys through my camera lense. I know it sound kind of silly, but I like to think it.
Anyway, Connor is getting SO big...he is the fighter being the youngest of 3 brothers and the 8 Cermele cousins necessitates and he is simply hysterical. Christian is growing into a very thoughtful and sensitive young man and I sometimes catch J.P. and him talking to eachother about the stars or heaven and am amazed at their depth. Michael just amazes me as he grows and realizes his maturity each day. Your boys would make you so proud.
So again, I will end here knowing somehow you'll get this post.
Take care Mike. I know you watch over Maria and the boys. They are Loved very much.

Hi Mike,
I can hardly believe it's been almost three years and I never knew this page existed.... I am happy to have a place to express my thoughts and sadness, hopes and joys for the boys, and simply a place to flow...
Scattered as I know it will be...please bear with me Mike...
I hope this post/email has wings, or you have a wireless modem there with a really great signal.... I know this will find it's way to you.
There are so may things I want to share with you. Bear with me as I fumble through this story.... Recently when I was talking with all the boys....Michael, Christian, Connor, Joseph and my J.P., they asked me if God had a telephone. I laughed a moment and said "sure" as J.P. asked "if God wanted pizza, would Pizza John from Crestwood deliver it to him?"
The boys debated the need for God to have to order pizza and Michael pointed out the important reality if God wanted pizza, he could just instantly make one appear.
Christian chimed in and stopped me in my tracks. He asked me if Pizza John delivered to God, could he deliver to his Dad? I was dumbfounded and laughed a little as I do during those moments I wish I could channel real-time to you.
Connor asked if his baby sister Isabella would share the pizza with you? After Michael and Joseph attempted to explain Isabella was actually his older sister and she was going to be 8 this Summer, I explained to the boys you had unlimited pizza in heaven and sometimes split a pie with Isabella and God. Connor was first to say he thought that was cool. J.P asked if you like mozzarella sticks. The three boys reached consensus and agreed you and their sister loved pizza. J.P. and Joseph agreed, Uncle Mike loved pizza and sharing a pie with God is cool. I hope you don't mind my explanation...they seemed to like it as they shook their heads as if to say "yeah....that makes complete sense".
There are so many moments I am blessed to be with my children and have the chance to spend time with your three boys. I think of you every time I see the boys. I thought of you when I was talking with Darby the other day. A lot has changed since you were taken and she and I have not see each other in a while. We marveled at Connor and his baseball skills as Samantha cheered him on. She and Connor are like an old married couple..you would crack up Mike. We laughed at Christian and J.P. as they played in the yard. Michael and I played a game of horse. All the while, I thought of you and how lucky I was to be with the boys and my children on that day. I always share such happy moments when I see the boys...for that I am truly thankful for the lives you and Maria created.
The boys often like to speak with me about you. They love to hear stories about you. You and your motorcycle, soccer, rugby, Irish football, Disney World, and Seaside Heights. They love the fact that you were brave and went on that crazy spinning thing on the boardwalk. They love the fact that you and your roommates had a snake when you lived on Scarsdale Road. They take pride in the fact you won the unofficial cheesesteak eating contest the Summer of '98. (For the record, Joey, Carlo and I fell short--- I made up 28 cheesesteaks as the winning 3 day weekend number when Michael put me on the spot). They love to talk about their dad and your presence in their lives carries on in their words, thoughts, and hearts.
It's funny Mike. Your boys are blessed with so many people who Love them. In addition to their wonderful mom Maria, and their loving Aunt Angela... their entire family is there for them. They are wonderful boys who would make you proud. They are funny boys who would make you laugh. They are sweet and loving boys who would warm your heart like they warm the hears of their mom, family, and everyone who meets them. They are boys boys who would drive you crazy. How I wish you were here for them to make you the best kind of crazy...crazy-happy like dads are made.
God Bless.
Enjoy the pizza.
Say hello to for me to SH, JG, BM, BC and all the guys from Farrell.

As a high school classmate of Maria's, I wanted to take a moment to let you know that you and your family have been in my thoughts and prayers. A part of all of our lives was changed that day. While I can not begin to feel the pain and loss that you have felt, I wanted you to know that your strength is a lesson for all of us. God has blessed you with your beautiful children who are a lifetime reminder of the love you share with your husband. I wish you peace and happiness in the future.

Dear Maria:
It is year today since I met you, Angela and your Mom at Hitchcock for the Rolling Requiem. That performance was a profoundly moving experience for me and I tingle when I think about what it meant to so many people even to this day. I am so glad that I could be a small part of that day to honor Mike's memory.
I know that Michael will always be a major part of your life and will always be your inspiration...especially as you raise your beautiful children. God bless you.

You don't know me, but today in English I was given a few names and short biographies. Mr. McHugh was one of them. I want you to know that I will keep him and his family in my thoughts and prayers. In his biography, it states that Michael believed 'love was life.' If everyone lives life according to those words, I believe we will all live full lives. God bless, Emily Garvey

I feel it is my duty, not only a student, but as a citizen of the united states to write to you now. even though two years have passed since that fateful day that change our world forever, it will never be forgotten. those lost, no matter how small or how tall will be remembered for years to come. although I know it is useless for me to attempt to say i know what emotions you are feeling,because I have never dealed with death. However, I would like to say that the entire nation and I honors you today and everyday.

We hope that God will give you the strength to keep moving every day and not to be sad but to smile when you think of him because that is what he is doing now, smiling at you.
God Bless! He will be missed but not forgotten.

We so desperately want to have the touch that brings you comfort,

Like so many on Sept. 11th I was shocked and saddened by a NY Post article that listed Michael as missing. I knew Mike and Maria from Iona College.
Maria may Michael's spirit live in your heart and the hearts of your children forever. May his smile always be remembered to brighten your day. May Michael's love and God's peace be with you all the days of your life.
Mike will always be remembered.

I was so very sorry to hear about Michael. I attended Albertus with Michael and was a year ahead of him there where we both played Soccer, I with the girls' team and he with the boys' team so our paths crossed fairly often back then. Although I had not seen Mike for many years, I was informed by friends from the area that he was part of this tragedy. What I remember most of Mike was his very winning smile and good nature. I pray that in the coming days you will find the peace you deserve. I speak from the heart as I also lost my brother, John J. Ryan, in the tragedy as well. Like Mike, he will be greatly missed. I pray that God will give all the families affected by this tragedy his Blessings.
With deepest sympathy,

Hello,
My name is Ryan Michael Winslow. I am 5 years old. I live in Richmond, Virginia, America. It makes me really sad that the sneaky bad guys knocked down your Daddy's work. I hope we can play together someday and you won't be so sad.
Don't worry, our soldiers and spies are gonna find the sneaky bad guys and make them stop. And if I see a sneaky bad guy, I'm gonna punch him for you.
Love,
Ryan
