ALFRED MAY Obituary

MAY--Alfred,

88 years of age has died of heart failure on March 10, 2018. Al May will forever be remembered for the love of his family, especially deceased wife Elaine May who was the love of his life for 47 years. They had three children who they loved and adored: Lisa May Brietstein/ Dr. Dan Brietstein (deceased) Joann May Fisher/Dr. Barry Fisher, Andrew May/Abby May. Al was blessed with nine grandchildren, Corey Last/wife Dari, Erika Krasner /husband Daniel, Ryan Last, Haylee Last, Danielle May, Adam May, Julie May, Ben Brietstein, Jared Brietstein and his great-grandson Matthew Last. Al May was the founder of Hercules, a commercial washer and dryer business. His insight and wisdom to laundry development was unmatched. Al had a great love for his business and he loved talking about buildings, landlords and new jobs. That was his zest for life. Al retired to Hallandale, Florida where he enjoyed his life, but still managed to call in everyday for Hercules updates. He was a dynamite man of wise words and sayings, and will be loved and missed by all. Graveside funeral for family only. Donations can be made to the Cardiac Care Unit at the North Shore University Hospital, New York.
