Dear Nancy, Bill and Kate -
My heartfelt condolences to all of you. I worked with Mike for the past 18 years and he was always so upbeat and friendly to work with. He was such a team player and supportive in so many ways. He always had a joke or story to share and could make us laugh. I am truly going to miss him as is the entire HR family.

May God comfort you and your family during this time.

Nancy, Bill and Kate,

My deepest sympathy all of you. I had the pleasure of working with Mike over the past two years and always heard lots about his family. He was always warm, friendly and always looking for ways to keep us smiling. I miss hearing him laugh and seeing him pass by my workstation every day. He is and will continue to be truly missed by his HR family at Standard & Poor's.

Though we were in different departments in our company, Mike and I had occasion to work together many times over the past 25 years -- and quite often during the past five.

He was always the type of person you were really glad you knew, whether we were working on a business project or just swapping stories.

He left us way too soon, and I will miss him.

My sympathiaes to his family.

To the entire McGlynn Clan, growing up with Mike , going to Yankee games and watching him eat a ton of hot dogs and beer, cookouts at the beach and admiring him for always being able to tell a good joke are just some of the things that made us all laugh. I pray that you will always smile when thinking about what a good person he was and all the memories he helped create. May he RIP !

Dear Nancy, Kate and Bill,
I am speechless and saddened by this loss. My thoughts of Mike and Nancy are just one of great times and positive support by both of them. With Parent to Parent, Touchdown Club, Little League, whatever, they were there to support the whole team and community. What a loss for Morris Plains and our family. So glad he was part of my life here in Morris Plains. He lives on through us.........what a wonderful person who will truly be missed by all.
My prayers and thoughts are with you all................Joyce & the whole Schlosser Gang

I worked with Mike for the past 3 years at S&P and he sat a few seats away from me. Mike was one of the friendliest people I know and always had a good story to share. He would often share stories with me about the particular tie he was wearing on a given day. On St. Patrick's Day, he would give everyone in our group an Irish name and leave a St. Patty's day treat. He always spoke lovingly of his family and was so proud of them. Mike will be greatly missed here at S&P and my thoughts & prayers are with his family.
