Michael was a great childhood friend who taught me how to play chess. And I never could beat him. Miss him for his great wisdom.

I only knew Michael Kelly for a year, but I knew him as “Professor Kelly.” But in that short time, being in his presence was a blessing. He was one of the kindest, most humorous, most patient, and most understanding teachers I’ve ever had. My condolences to his family and loved ones. He will definitely be missed.

You know you´ve met a great person, a great teacher, and a great man when you hear the stories of the people he has taught. The stories of wisdom he shared. The stories of how he made an impact on students´ lives. As a member of Osmosis and the greater Chicago teaching community, Mike touched the lives of many which is one of the greatest things you can do as a teacher. The ¨Good News" says ¨You will reap what you sow here on earth and in Heaven.¨ Good teacher. Good artist. Good champion for our cause. Nothing but good days are ahead of you as you walk the streets of gold. God bless you and yours!
