We have lost a good friend and colleague in Michael Cleary. We had positive business dealing with Mike and PQ Systems for many years, and we always respected and appreciated their business ethics. Beyond business, Mike was a valued compadre in the profession.

The staff at Quality Digest worked with Michael for many years when he wrote a column for us. Not only was he a delight to work with but his funny columns (or should we say "punny") helped make statistics not only easier to understand but a joy to read.

Our condolences to Barb Cleary and the folks at PQ.

The staff at QD
Mike, Dirk, Laurel, Taran, Ryan, April, Christopher, Jeff, Kristine
