michael was a kind and generous person with everyone but himself in mind. He had a great sense of humor and wit about him that had people laughing for hours. But the quality in Mike that meant the most to me, was that he was a true friend that was there when you needed him. My sincere condolences to Mike's family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Kelly family during this difficult time.

Michael, we will never forget the night you called and left a voice mail on Paul’s cell phone stating: “This is Fontane, I am looking for Napoleon.” I guess you really listened during the monthly U-Haul management meetings.

You were not just a coworker / employee but to Paul and I, you were one of our closest friends. Paul would always call you his “Little Buddy” and enjoyed the phone conversations about sports, music and women.

Your heart was always in the right place. Paul will never forget that you were the only one from work that came to his Father’s wake, knowing you had to take two busses and a train just to get there.

Michael you are greatly missed and will never be forgotten. God Speed “Little Buddy” may you rest in peace.
