Just read the passing of Mike Nally. I worked with him on the Chapel Street Bridge in New Haven, CT in 1990 as well as a few Big Dig Projects in the Boston Area. Shared many a laugh. Prayers to him and his family.

My Brother Michael was my hero! For over 40 years he "quietly" supervised millions of dollars of intricate construction projects all over New England. His energy was boundless, and his work ethic was unparalleled. When his wife Liz died, I watched him raise his 3 young boys into the exceptional men that I see today. I sit here today in Awe and realize Michael truly made this world a better place than he found it. I love you Mike and I'm going to miss you. I'm so proud to be your brother. I know we will meet again. Marty

Neighbor and friend for 30+ years. Unsung hero who saved our Crow Point pier. One who left for work so early each day while we all slept. Family was priority. Watching his boys grow into adults, first meeting his wonderful mother then family was a special gift. 4th of July parties over the top! Many sunset evenings sitting together on the beach, priceless. Hydro catching eels and Collin putting coins in tidal pools. Mike loved my smoked turkey and insisted I reserve in-bird stuffing only for him. After tragedy, Jennifer made his eyes sparkle again. This was a great man and I am privileged to have been part of his life. Timothy Martin St. John USVI
