Mike was always soft spoken and never bothered anybody. When I was down and out in our younger years Mike got me a job hanging gutters side by side with him. We had a lot of fun in high school and with the gang on Bridge St hangin on the corner of Rice St. Although we went out seperate ways years ago we always remained friends. Always felt like family when I'd go over to the Daileys to hang out with my friend Pickle! Mike, you'll be missed my friend RIP Love you Bro!

We are devastated and broken-hearted at the loss of our good friend, Mike. Honestly, we are still in shock - we cannot begin to describe how much we miss our good friend. Mike was a "gentle giant" with a kind heart and an incredible sense of humor - he always had us laughing! Most of all, he was our close friend and we loved him. Please know that we will never let Mike be forgotten - he is in our hearts and will be with us always. Our thoughts go out to Mike's family - we know you are broken-hearted too. Just know that Mike is in a better place and his pain is gone forever. We know that someday we will see our friend again.

So sorry to hear of Michael's passing. Fond memories of Mike and my brother Mike as youngsters, hanging out at our house, riding bikes between Osgood and March Streets.
My sympathies go out to all of the Dailey family for your loss.
