He was an avid deer hunter and fisherman, often found running trot lines or hosting a lively fish fry for family and friends. His love for the outdoors extended to camping and traveling, where he created countless cherished memories. Adrian had a knack for finding treasures in the most unexpected places. He delighted in visiting pawn shops, where he skillfully traded guns and knives, always on the lookout for his next great find. His fascination with clocks and watches filled his home with the soothing rhythm of ticking timepieces, each one a reflection of his meticulous tinkering. In his quieter moments, Adrian found solace in visiting the local locks and dams, where he marveled at the barges and boats locking through, a testament to the beauty of simple pleasures. Adrian May leaves behind a legacy of love, adventure, and a life well-lived. In honoring his memory, the family kindly requests that donations be made to a charity of your choice, continuing his legacy of kindness and generosity.
