Nally had a huge smile when I showed off my fresh
haircut at Mr. Cody's funeral. I also had another
fresh cut for Mr. Nally's Rosary !
I'm grateful to have known him and expect he and
Mr. Cody are holding court somewhere right now!

Deepest Condolences to you Eileen and family. Loved being around your dad at many various shooting sports we shared interest in. Loved his stories, insights and of course he always made me laugh.

I will miss Michael´s detailed stories from the past, and his detailed stories regarding his latest health issues. I will miss the Russell Stover Chocolates he would deliver for Christmas, his history books, his gun talk, his cuss words, his travel advice, his humor and his reply- "Yes, Dear." Michael was the coolest old man with a New York accent, and I will never forget him.

I will always remember Mr. Nally's "Yes Dear" when I had the pleasure of helping him at the bank, he livened up my day with his stories and commentaries on life. I will always remember his kindness and love of family, my condolences to his family.

Rest Michael, until you hear at dawn,
the low, clear reveille of God.
Thank you for your service to this nation. U.S. Air Force.

Mike was mentor and colorful friend who I had the opportunity to work with while serving at McConnell AFB (old fire house) in 1982. Played pinochle when not training (and he was an excellent trainer) I will not forget his distinguishable voice and how I looked up to him when I was at a young age. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family as I know he will be missed
