We express out deepest sympathy for the Mays family and we want to let you know of our regrets that we cannot be present at your time of loss. As someone that has known Oscar almost all my life, the memories and expletives are too many to list about what a great Father and person that he was. Oscar may be gone, but my memories will always remain in my heart. We know Oscar is back under a new "Warranty" and he can see and walk again. You are all in our hearts and our prayers. All our love.

Not everyone gets to leave the legacy that Mr. Mays and his wife did. It was a privledge to have known them and so many of the "kids". I suspect the celebration of Oscar's life will be quite the "gathering". My thoughts will be to share in that celebration. From one who was often a neighbor and always an admirer of the "Family".

Words can never express what is truly felt in the heart. Even though we are separated by many miles, please know that I love all of you and share in the loss of a very dear man. The good Lord is going to have his hands full with Uncle Oscar, if you had to hide the ladder and take away the car when his health and eyesight were declining, just imagine what he's going to do with a new body! God bless you all.

You know there really aren't the right words to say. I know you Dave, Doug and Gary and the rest of the family will find comfort in the arms and thoughts of each other and the rest of your family. Take a measure of comfort in the number of friends that extend a heartfelt tear and hug to all of you. May God continue to bless the Mays family.

My sincerest condolences upon the loss of the patriarch of the Mays family. Every West Carrollton kid seemed to know something about him and to be friends with at least one

of his many offspring. He leaves a great legacy and many descendants

to carry on his name and heritage.
