In Loving Memory of James Cornelis “Neil” May
March 5, 1948 – June 28, 2022
Neil was born in Gatchell, to James and Meta May (nee Ferwerda). He is survived by the loves of his life his wife Heather (nee Dunn), daughter Julie May (Markus Chan), and sister Lorna May (Doug Lowe). He also leaves behind sisters in law Valerie Hammond and Evelyn Jones, as well as many nieces and nephews.
Neil obtained degrees in Engineering Technology and a Certificate in Management. His career in communications took him to Dryden, Thunder Bay and Nipigon, Ontario, as well as Goose Bay, Labrador, Edmonton and Sherwood Park, Alberta. Upon retirement Neil and Heather returned to Ontario, to a quiet spot on the Gull River, which brought them both endless hours of enjoyment. Neil had a passion for riding his motorcycle, fixing things, fishing and helping others.
We are grateful to Dr. Nel Thomas, the Paramed crew, Paramedic Service and the Pallative Care Team. To all of the neighbours and friends who have helped during Neil’s illness, we thank you.
A Celebration of Neil’s life will be held on our property on August 13th, starting at 1:00pm. Please bring or send a story about Neil to share.
