Charlie May

Charlie G. "Mick" May, 70, peacefully passed away in the morning hours of Monday, April 23, 2007, at his residence following a two and half year battle with stomach cancer.

Funeral services will be 2 p.m. Wednesday, April 25, at Bethlehem United Methodist Church with Reverend A. C. Brook officiating. Charlie will be buried in the church cemetery.
Born January 16, 1937, to the late Otho and Blanche May, Charlie earned his pilot's license in his early twenty's. Soon after, he owned and operated May's Airport for many years.

He also retired from The Carpenter and Millwrights Local Union #312 after serving 27 years with them. Even through his sickness, Charlie was a faithful member of Bethlehem United Methodist Church. Charlie was a hard worker, a good Christian, and a talented pilot; but he will mostly be remembered for his giving spirit of always helping others.

He is survived by his wife, Jessica; his daughter, Shannon Day and her husband, Allan; his son, Shawn May; step children, Ben, Lauren, and Leslie Andrews; grandchildren, Allie and Chase Day; sisters, Virginia Vitka, Helen Levens and her husband, Millard, Mary Lou Younts and her husband, Jack; along with several nieces and nephews.

The family will receive friends following the service at the church fellowship hall.
The family extends a special thank you to Dr. Rubin and the staff at Wesley Long Oncology Center; to the staff at Hospice of Greensboro; and to all the friends who have been so helpful and faithful during the past two and a half years.

Memorial contributions may be made to Hospice and Palliative Care of Greensboro, 2500 Summit Ave, Greensboro, NC 27405.
