D. C. May Jr was born on October 12, 1938 directly up the river
bottom, in the May family home, above Penn Store. Growing up there,
Penn Store was an important part of his childhood and grown up
life. He use to get up early and look towards the store to see if
the light was on yet. Then he would take farm fresh eggs to trade
for merchandise. He learned the value of hard work from his Dad and
Mom, David Chester and Dewie May, playing in the creek with family
and friends, the importance of good neighbors, and telling stories
at Penns Store. He
spent 2 years serving our nation in the Navy, returned home,
married Barbara Ryan, and settled in Marion County, Kentucky.
Raising 5 children Joyce, Dennis, Cindy, David, and Andy a trip to
Penns store was always a treat for a Nehi Grape and a candy bar. He
worked the family farms, and a factory job at Corning Glass, in
Danville, until his retirement. He loved Kentucky Basketball, Horse
Racing, Farming, taking pictures, his family; especially all the
grand and great grand kids. |
