I was lucky to know Judge McGlynn. He was one of the

kindest, smartest, and helpful judges I ever clerked for. He made

the day at work feel less like work and kept all of us laughing.

He will be greatly missed. So very sorry for your loss. Tina Trost

Please accept my condolences on the passing of Judge McGlynn. I have worked with Judge McGlynn as an Assistant Public Defender here in Markham. One of the best judges I have ever worked with. One of the nicest men I have ever met. He will be sorely missed in this courthouse and no one will ever replace him in our hearts. My prayers go out to his beautiful family.

I am truly sorry to hear of your loss. Although as a public defender in Markham, I did not practice much before Judge McGlynn. However, during the time that I appeared in front of him, he was considerate, fair and very pleasant. He will be greatly missed. My condolences to your family.

SPIRIT OF A FISHERMAN



I'LL ALWAYS BE THERE IF YOU KNOW WHERE TO LOOK,BY A QUIET POND OR A RUNNING BROOK.

IN A BOAT THAT'S ANCHORED IN A SHELTERED BAY, CASTING THE SHORELINE AT THE BREAK OF DAY.



SO DON'T GRIEVE FOR ME, I AM STILL AROUND, IF YOU KNOW WHERE TO LOOK, I CAN BE FOUND. WHERE FISHERMEN TALK ABOUT THE CATCH OF THE DAY, I WILL BE NO MORE THAN A FEW STEPS AWAY.



THIS IS PART OF A POEM I GAVE TO BILL..IT TRULY EPITOMIZED HIM...FOND FAREWELL DEAR FRIEND
