Mr. Mays was a "class act". I have never known him to have ever had a bad word to say about anybody or anything. I admired the way he was always so calm. He was always willing to help no matter how exhausted he probably was. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have known him. Love and sympathy to all. With our love, Patrick and Kathy
