Tom M. Glasser, 40, Partner, Sandler O'Neill New York, Oct. 4 (Bloomberg) -- Tom M. Glasser, 40, partner and head of fixed-income trading, Sandler O'Neill & Partners LP. His hometown police force plans to honor Glasser at his memorial service Saturday. When the Summit resident learned that the town had denied the police department funds to buy bulletproof vests, he used his own money to make sure every officer had one. Glasser graduated from Wardlaw-Hartridge School in Edison, New Jersey, in 1978, where as a senior president of the National Honor Society and the Development Club, and captain of the track team. He competed in quarter-mile, half-mile, and one-mile races, and the high jump. Glasser earned a bachelor's degree in philosophy from Haverford College in 1982. His prize-winning thesis: ''The Metaphysics of Track.'' In his senior year he won the school's Varsity Cup as best athlete and a gold medal for the U.S. at the Maccabiah Games in Israel for the one-mile relay. He later earned a master of business administration degree from New York University's Stern School of Business. In 1985, Glasser competed on the New York Athletic Club team that won the two-mile relay at the Millrose Games in Madison Square Garden. He was working as a full-time bond trader at Lehman Brothers while training for several events. He also worked for Kidder Peabody & Co., E.F. Hutton and UBS Warburg before joining Sandler O'Neill. Teammate's Remembrance ''To imagine a guy with more life, drive and energy than Tom is impossible,'' Glasser's college teammate Frank Heath wrote in the Chapel Hill (North Carolina) News yesterday. Glasser joined Sandler O'Neill as a mortgage securities trader in 1990. Two years later, he was promoted to partner and in 1995 became head of fixed-income trading. He is survived by his wife; two sons; parents; and two sisters. A celebration of Glasser's life will be held Saturday, Oct. 6. Instead of flowers, the Glasser family asks that donations be sent to designated memorial funds.
