Obituary: MAYS, LEE born in Lone Oak, TX in Ocotober of 1926 has died 16, 2014 in Greenville, TX. Lee was one of fifteen children, he had six brothers and eight sisters. He is preceded in death by his wife of 41 years, B.J. Mays. Lee is survived by his children, Rosanne Mays, Leigh Erickson and her husband, Craig, Stephen Mays and his wife, Jennifer, Evan Roberts and his wife, LuAnn; five grandchildren and two great grandchildren. He is also survived by his twin brother, Laura Mays of Irving, TX. He received his bachelors degree in Education from East Texas State Teachers , now Texas A&M Commerce. He joined the US Army as an 18 year old during World War II, where he was stationed at Camp Sheridan, IL and was honorably discharged in 1946. He met his wife, B.J. while he was a Manager of the mens department at Neiman Marcus in Dallas. However, he spent most of his life self-employed. He had a home remodeling business and prior to retirement contracted to JcPenney to remodel store displays across the Metroplex. A job he truly enjoyed. He spent time bird hunting but even more so was an AVID fisherman. Sitting on a boat or anywhere near the water with a fishing pole in his hand was a good day. To say he was a gardener would be an understatement. He always had a vegetable garden. Whether it was a few square feet in the backyard at his home in Richardson or a couple of acres at his home in Greenville, he seemed to always have something growing that could end up on the table for dinner. Lee was also a tried and true Ranger fan. No matter whether they were on top or the bottom he enjoyed watching on television as well as listening to the games on the radio. At the end of the day, what will be remembered most is the man who loved to sit with coffee and talk. He had his favorite coffee shops in Richardson and found himself a welcoming home for coffee and conversation at the American Legion in Greenville. Needless to say, he will be missed. A visitation will be held from 6:00-8:00 PM on , 18, 2014 at Restland . A graveside service will at 11:00 AM on , 19, 2014 at Restland Memorial Park. |

Obituary: Jim went to be with his Savior on 29, 2014. He was born 7, 1923 to Vernon and Ethel Mays in New Salem, Texas. Jim is survived by his loving wife of 63 years, Carol; son, Jay and wife Susan; daughter, Kay; grandsons, Trey, and Bobby and wife Taryn; sisters, Mary Justice, "Dutch" Monzingo, Rebecca Risinger, and Ann Hollingsworth; and numerous nieces and nephews. Jims father was a cattleman, and the Great Depression took a huge toll on rural America and it did not bypass the Mays family. Jims first job was working in a tomato cannery near New Salem for 10 cents an hour. He graduated from Henderson High School in 1939. He worked in the shipyards in Orange, Texas as a sheet metal worker as part of the war effort during World War II. He eventually enlisted and served his country proudly in the Army Air Corps achieving the rank of 2nd Lieutenant. the war was over he entered the University of Texas and graduated from the School of Law. He spent his summers working in West TX as a roughneck and roustabout for the Magnolia Corporation (now Mobil of Exxon Mobil) During this time, he met the love of his life, Carol Owens, and they were married on 1, 1951. He was hired by the California Co. as a petroleum landman, and they spent the first few years of their married life in Jackson, MS. and Brewton, AL. He travelled all over Mississippi, Alabama and Florida putting together large lease blocks, including leases in Floridas Jay Field. Not wanting to climb the corporate ladder, he left the California after a couple of years, and struck out on his own, doing land work for various independents. During this time, he met Thomas Mellon (T. M.) Evans who was looking to buy timberland, primarily in Florida. As a result, Jim taught himself all about the timber business, which would later prove useful in dealing with land owned by his own family. Although they were not able to buy any timberland, Jim made such an impression on Mr. Evans that he hired Jim as head of the land department of his oil and gas company, Evans Production . Jim and Bill Craig opened the Tyler exploration office for Evans before Jim moved back to Dallas to become President of Evans Production. Jim developed the ability to remember and recall all sorts of information regarding the oil business, including the uncanny knack to remember new field discovery wells, the fields they discovered and when they were discovered. He was a walking oil business encyclopedia. Due to various reasons, Mr. Evans decided to get out of the oil business around 1964 and Jim subsequently managed several small independent companies until the early 1970s when he started his own career as a petroleum consultant and purchased some gas production in South Texas. This launched his own oil and gas company, in which he continued to be active until his death. He was a self-made professional in the oil & gas business and enjoyed the challenges and opportunities of it from the time he started in it. He was not a big joiner, but over the years and at various times belonged to the Dallas Petroleum Club, IPAA, and AAPL. He was a history buff, which fit perfectly into the land aspect of the oil and gas business. The research of land titles is simply a study of the history of the ownership of a piece of land, which in turn leads to history of the families that owned it, that is, genealogy. He would read any history book you gave him, but was particularly interested in the Civil War, and World Wars I and II. In the last several years he had also become fascinated with the Scotch/Irish that settled in Appalachia. He and Carol did everything together. Until Jay and Kay were in Jr. High school, Jim and Carol would travel, usually on trips related to business, but combined with pleasure. If they found some place they liked, they would go back, this time taking Jay and Kay. These were not just family vacations; they were family adventures to Vermont in the fall, New York City, San Francisco, the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado, Carlsbad Caverns, and Lake Tahoe. Tahoe became their destination of choice (with side trips to Las Vegas, of course). Jim and Carol both became avid followers of horse racing, enjoying trips to the race tracks in Louisiana and Arkansas, watching the Triple Crown races and the Breeders Cup races. Above all else, he loved his family. He loved for us all to be together, whether it was on vacation, holidays, or even just breakfast, lunch or dinner. He provided strength and stability for us all, and for many of you, and he will be deeply missed. Flowers will be received at the funeral home, or a memorial gift can be made to the Salvation Army in Jim Mays honor at www.donate.salvationarmyusa.org A Private graveside service for Jim will be on , 8, 2014 at 1:00 PM at Dallas Fort Worth National . A Memorial service for Jim will be on , 9, 2014 at Ted Dickey West at 1:00 PM, located at 7990 George Bush Turnpike Dallas, TX 75252. |
