Harold L. May

His parents, Harry L. and Ann (Page) May welcomed their son into the world on July 27, 1935 in Goffstown, NH. He grew up in Troy, NH and attended Troy High School up until the tenth grade.

Harold’s work career spanned twenty years at the former International Narrow Fabric in Keene; several years at Troy Mills; a few years at the tannery in Winchester, NH; and sixteen years with Kingsbury Corporation in Keene.

He proudly served his country for nine years in the Army National Guard.

When not hard at work, Harold enjoyed completing jigsaw puzzles and being out in the quiet, fishing. He was an avid Red Sox, Bruins, Celtics and New England Patriots fan. In earlier years, Harold was a little league baseball coach with the youth leagues in Troy.

He will be greatly missed by many, especially his wife of 63 years, Elizabeth A. (Parsons) May of Spofford; three sons, Peter J. May of Mobile, AL, Daniel L. May Spofford, Timothy A. May of Vernon, VT; 15 grandchildren; 18 great-grandchildren; his brothers, Edward May of Albuquerque, NM, William May of Keene, NH, James May of Colorado; his sisters, Marjorie Clark of Spofford, Carol Renaud of Manchester, NH; and many nieces, nephews and extended family members. Harold was predeceased by a son, Michael May; his brothers, Robert May and Richard May; and his sisters, Shirley Huchins and Eleanor Webster.

Services and celebration of Harold’s life will be private.

For those who wish, donations may be made in Harold’s name to the Norris Cotton Cancer Center at Kingsbury Pavilion, 590 Court Street, Keene, NH 03431.
