MAY, ARCHIE ANTHONY 
(Died July 9, 2010)

Archie Anthony May, a native of Morgan City and resident of Bayou Vista, passed 
away Friday, July 9, 2010, at his residence. 

Archie could accomplish anything he set his mind to and took pride in the 
quality of work he did. He received many different certificates in the field of 
mechanics, which included automotive and aviation. Many times his co-workers and 
family could bring difficult problems to him, and he would be able to figure 
them out because he had a gift of being a master troubleshooter. 

Archie also had such a "gift of gab" that made story telling a wonderful 
experience for his family and friends. 

Most of all, what Archie will be remembered by is that he was a very loving and 
affectionate man. He was so very appreciative of his family who took care of him 
up to his passing. Archie will be sorely missed by all who knew him. 

Archie is survived by his wife, Sandra May of Pulaski, Miss.; one daughter, 
Velma May of Pulaski, Miss.; and two grandchildren, Velma and Cyrus May, both of 
Pulaski, Miss. Archie also is survived by three brothers, Ronald May Sr. of 
Gibson, Garry May of Bayou L'Ourse and Harry May of Duson; four sisters, Jackie 
Montet of Amelia, Patricia Pasion of Hawaii, Veronica Bernadou of Bayou Vista 
and Blanche LeBlanc of Charenton; and numerous nieces and nephews. 

Archie was preceded in death by his parents, Earnest and Gertrude May Sr.; one 
son, Brandon May; four brothers, Earnest Jr., Lawney, John Wayne and John Paul 
May; and one nephew, Ronnie May Jr. 

A memorial service will be held at St. Andrew Catholic Church on Saturday, July 
17, 2010, at 11 a.m. with a visitation starting at 8 a.m. The East St. Mary 
Veterans Funeral Squad will conduct military honors at the church. A burial will 
follow in St. Patrick's Cemetery in Gibson immediately after the service. 

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to St. Andrew Catholic Church.
