I am very sad to hear of Mick’s passing. Gone too young for sure. I have fond memories of him and his infectious humor and laugh in and around the Rise. 
Sincere condolences to Christeen and their daughters and to his sister Aileen and the wider family at this difficult time. May Mick rest in peace.

Dear Family of Michael,
What a wonderful colleague gone too soon. I fondly remember Michael’s sense of humor and Irish wit! But most of all, I appreciate all he did for me as a supportive friend when I went through so much during my time at Motorola and also for everything he taught me in those early years of my career. Heaven has gained another great one. May his memory be a blessing.

Chris and Family.   I am so sorry for your loss.  I worked as Michael's H.R. administrative assistant in Schaumburg and then on to Deer Park.  He was the most wonderful and outgoing person and made it a pleasure for me to come into the office every day.  His wit and humor is something I will always remember.  He is gone too soon.  
My deepest sympathy and prayers go out to you and your family during this difficult time.

Our Motorola paths crossed repeatedly over 20+ years in Florida and Illinois.  He was the best HR associate and manager I ever worked with-- always provided sound advice, balancing company and employee perspectives.

In our Lake Zurich days, we had the best snarky arguments about US vs European "football."

He was a gem.

My deepest condolences on your personal loss, and all of our loss of such a great friend.

Chris and girls .  I am truly sorry for your loss and sorry for the loss that friends and colleagues  are all experiencing.  I personally will miss my weekly catch up chats with Michael.  He was such a special person who made me laugh every time we spoke.  As one of my oldest and dearest friends, he will never be far from my thoughts and always in my heart.  We’ve shared so much over the years that words of sympathy feel inadequate in expressing grief and sorrow for a loss so great. I will miss him so very much. I share in your sadness and pray that your happy memories give you peace and comfort during this difficult time.

I so fondly remember you Michael. 

such a great HR partner and friend! 

May you be riding and smiling ….

With peace and a heavy heart,

Rita Lane

Please accept my deepest condolences in Michael’s passing. I was one of his many Motorola colleagues. We were part of the same HR team during our Integrated Supply Chain days and later Corporate HR. I’ll always fondly remember him as a consummate professional, honest to his core. He was a trusted colleague, a keen observer of human nature, always with a ready smile and a terrific sense of humor. May he rest in eternal peace and God Bless his memory.

To Chris and the McKeon family,
Our deepest sympathies to ye all on Mick’s passing. He is fondly remembered for his laugh, jokes, general mischievous antics, & of some great days and nights together - the Brigadoon has been mentioned a few times. 
Thinking of ye at this time, where being so far away is difficult for that supporting hug that all could share.
Love, Jimmy & Sheila O’Hagan,
Now Ireland & formerly of Chicago.
