Mike not a time goes by when the mention of 9/11 comes up that I don’t think of and pray for you and all our other colleagues who fate it was to be part of this tragedy. Your children are grown maybe with some grandchildren for you to look down upon. Time goes by but you will never be forgotten.

Mike - we worked on 1 account together, my largest one, but I will always remember you and make it a purpose not to forget. I will remember you as a dedicated professional and gentle soul. May you rest in peace and may your friends and family find it under God's grace, trusting in HIS sovereignty and ultimate victory over evil through the blood of Christ.

Mike was the best. Hysterical wit and sense of humor. Always smiling and upbeat. The world was a better place with him.

Mike was a fantastic person. He went out of his way to come over and introduce himself at a company function. Although it was the only time we were together his kindness was unforgettable.

Mike I think of you often but at this time of year especially. I’m again attending a local 9/11 service tomorrow and you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I worked with Mike very briefly, but remember him as a kind person who went out of his way to help me. I remember him fondly and try to take a little of his spirit with me when I go about my daily life. May God bless and keep his family and friends.

Mr. Cahill sounds like he was a great guy. I, like so many Americans are sorry that a bright young life like his was cut short on that awful day 21 years ago now. To his wife, children, family and friends, I offer my sincerest condolences and best wishes for the future.

Mike, Although 21 years have gone by, you and your family are always in our hearts and prayers. I can still hear your words of encouragement on our runs and humour in the office. I am sure you are making them laugh up in heaven. 🙏🙏🙏

Tomorrow is that sad anniversary of that tragic day 21 years ago. I am attending a local 9/11 memorial service and you and your family will be forefront in my mind as you are every year. Gone but never forgotten.

Honoring you today. We were CIGNA Colleagues. You were such a sweet person. I hope you are resting in peace.

20 years ago we met for the first and only time but I never forget your candir, kindness and brilliance

Michael, it’s hard to believe it’s the 20th anniversary of that terrible day. There is a whole generation that weren’t even alive. Some of them may be aware of the significance of 9/11 but those of use who were alive will always remember you and our colleagues. Rest In Peace we won’t forget you.

I think about you often, everytime I watch St Johns I think about you and I discussing Bootsy Thornton. You will never be forgotten. Such a great guy. Dan Moran

Mike, 19 years later and I will still never ever forget. You were my colleague, my neighbor, my running buddy and a great friend. I still find myself laughing to myself when I think about your dry wit and sense of humor. Rest in peace my friend...

Another year has flown by and it has been a tough one down here. My hope is that your family is doing well in these turbulent times. Just wanted you to know you are not forgotten.

Mike, I just wanted to let you know I will never forget the friendship we had...I think of you often. God Bless.

Mike, from time to time over the year/years I think of you and our other colleagues who left us on that tragic day 18 years ago. Each year as we approach September 11th my thoughts turn to you. As I’ve said in past years sadly you are Gone but know you are not forgotten.

Another year has gone by and I am saddened by how many individuals in the country have forgotten the tragic day you and our other colleagues lost your lives. Mike Rest In Peace you are not forgotten by all who knew you.

Mike I think about you and our other colleagues from time to time but Is at this sad time a year when your loss is at the forefront of my mind. Your children are adults now I hope they are aware that you are still remembered as a trusted friend and true professional by many of us.

Mike you are always in my thoughts on the anniversary of your tragic loss along with so many of our valued colleagues.

Always on my mind st this time of year. God bless you and your family.

Always remembered. Mike was the best of the best of us.

I will never forget you Mike. I am thankful that I had the opportunity to work with you and be your friend... You are and always will be in our thoughts, prayers and hearts...

Michael, It's been 9 more years since my last tribute, but nothing has changed. You are still the person and professional I aspire to be. I hope your family sees this and takes some pride In knowing the enormity of respect you commanded (but never sought).

Mike was the one I knew the best out of the three Marsh FINPRO victims whose memorials I attended. When I worked at Marsh for two years in the mid-1990s I had called Mike often for his advice on fidelity insurance matters (about which I knew nothing and he was an expert.) When I returned to working for AIG, I dealt with Mike from the other side of the table. The universal opinion on Mike was that he was a great guy who was always willing to help out and had as much integrity as anyone in the business. He was the kind of guy who you knew would be an exemplary brother or teammate; Mike was always there for you when you needed him. Mike's memorial service was held at St. Aidan's Church in East Williston, New York (Long Island) on a morning in early October of 2001. The place was already jammed 20 minutes before the start. In retrospect I recall a rainy and gloomy day but I'm not sure if my memory is accurate or simply clouded by the general nature of the proceedings. Like hundreds of others in the packed church, I filed in quietly and found a seat. What transpired over the next hour I won't recount in detail, although I can tell you that the first three to speak at the ceremony (Mike's parish priest, his brother and his boss at Marsh, Tom Vietor) all rose to the occasion and did an admirable job under staggeringly sad conditions. The last eulogist however, Mike's wife Colleen, left to rear their two beautiful young children herself, took it to another level. She spoke with unparalleled eloquence, passion and composure. I don't think I'll ever truly understand from where Colleen drew her strength (the inspiring memories of Mike, no doubt, had much to do with it), but I have never witnessed such a display of courage and composure in the face of a tragedy of this magnitude. Her eulogy was funny, endearing and engaging. It was simultaneously heartwarming and heartbreaking. It captured the essence of Mike perfectly, at least as I knew him, which only magnified our sense of loss. She recounted, among other things, that the story of who-pursued-who in the relationship differed depending upon whose version you heard, Mike's or Colleen's. They had met as summer-share housemates in the Hamptons. According to Mike's version, Colleen sat by the pool reading a paperback with eyeholes cut right through the book so that she could follow his every move. Colleen's eyes, amazingly, remained dry throughout the eulogy. Both her words and their deliverance were truly inspirational. The final piece to Colleen's tribute was an REM song, one of Mike's favorites. St. Aidan's graciously allowed the family to play the recording over the church's loudspeakers as the memorial concluded and people filed out even though, strictly speaking, it was against church policy. I don't recall the title, but it was about a guy who, smitten with a woman, calls to ask her out but gets her answering machine. It mirrored in a way Mike's own courting of Colleen. As the song played my eyes were drawn to the couple's innocent children fidgeting in the front pew of the church. It was a sledgehammer of sadness and it found its mark in most of us. As Colleen walked up the center isle to exit, the previously-muted sobs of the crowd began to rise in unison, unabated. All but those few souls who had already cried themselves out were in tears as the church emptied.

I will always remember the good time he had at his wedding. He was a devoted father and loved his wife and had a true zest for life.

I have been affected by the loss of so many colleagues, but none greater than Michael. We worked together on several mutual clients in the late 1990s, and I developed a tremendous respect for Michael as a colleague and a person. He epitomized every quality I would hope to have: he was highly intelligent, always in good humor, kind and attentive, quick to respond, unflappable and a perfect gentleman. He will always stay with me as an example of the professional and person I aspire to be.
