Racine (formerly of Kenosha)- Christopher A. May, 53, passed away unexpectedly at home on Monday, March 14, 2011.
Christopher was born in Kenosha on February 22, 1958 to the late Merle and Noreen (nee: Cosgrove) May. He graduated from St. Mary’s Grade School, St. Joseph’s High School, and eventually from College of Lake County – with a degree in pipe-fitting.
Chris was employed as a pipe-fitter for Abbott Laboratories for over 23 years. Among his interests, he enjoyed playing his guitar, fishing, reading, home repairs, and was a talented custom frame builder.
Surviving are his wife, Joanie (nee: Judeika) May; their son, William “Will” May; brothers, Paul (Cathy) May and Mike (Lynn) May; sisters, Laura May-Buhler, Mary (Tony) Efinger, and Kathleen May; sister-in-law, Julie (Frank) Bindelli; 8 nieces, and 5 nephews.
In addition to his parents, Chris was preceded in death by his infant sisters, Denise and Sheila May.
A Memorial Service celebrating Chris’ life will be held in the Draeger-Langendorf Funeral Home on Monday, March 21, 2011 at 7:00 pm with Rev. Jeffrey M. Thielen officiating. Visitation will be in the funeral home on Monday from 5-7 pm. Private interment will take place at a later date. As Chris would want, in lieu of flowers, contributions to the family for an education fund for his son, William May, has been suggested.

Joanie, Will and family,
I was so sorry to see that Chris has passed away.
My deepest sympathy to all of you. I will always remember how great Chris was to my mom and dad when you were neighbors and how often he helped me out with his plumbing expertise. He will be missed.
With sympathy,
