He will be dearly missed by my family.
He was an outstanding man and friend.
Sleep with the angels,dear Michael.
My big brother next door. Always in my heart, Mike. Thank you for sharing your great spirit.
Michael, you were a great friend of mine. We shared our lives together, birthdays, family BBQ’s, camping, boating, snow trips and as coworkers at Cardima. Our children, grew up together, making our relationship, even more special. Sharing our stories, still brings fond memories and smiles to our faces. My family and I, considered your family as part of ours and will never forget the times we shared. I love you, my friend, like a brother, I never had. Rest Peacefully, God Bless. George

Sorry i’m unable to attend today, but my thoughts are with you.
I am so sorry for your loss. I still think about and remember all the fun we had growing up in the court: Playing football and baseball (when they didn’t want the girls to play and I would go tell on them) playing hide and go seek, swimming… there are so many memories, too many to list. My prayers are with the entire Keleher family. Mike, may you rest in peace. I will be attending tonight’s celebration of life.
So very sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace.
