  • Notes 
    • Richard "Doc" May passed away peacefully in his sleep on June 14, 2006. He was 89 years old. He was preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Harriet. He is survived by his wife, Jane May, who he called "Sweetie" until his death. Doc was a winter visitor to Tucson for 50+ years. He resided in his beloved Woodstock, Illinois in the summer months where he owned a farm in his younger years. His greatest passion was playing golf and was a member of three country clubs at one time. His longest membership was with Oro Valley Country Club in which he was one of the original members. His other passions were playing Gin, socializing with his buddies, and watching the Chicago Cubs and Bears games. Doc will be remembered for his kindness and generosity.
