A. John May Jr. ’50

Born in Michigan, Jack grew up in Selinsgrove, Pa., and graduated from Mercersburg Academy in 1946. At Princeton, he majored in economics, was a member of ROTC, and was vice president of Cloister. He served in Korea with the 18th Airborne Corps and 45th Infantry Division, attaining the rank of captain.

After graduating from Harvard Law School, he joined Duane, Morris & Heckscher of Philadelphia in 1954. He started as a trial lawyer and later moved to the corporate-law division, which he helped establish. He was chairman and CEO from 1990 to 1995.

Jack lived for 44 years in Berwyn, Pa., where he served on various township boards for three decades.

Besides law, golf was his passion. He belonged to several clubs, and traveled to the British Isles in the summer and to his home in the Dominican Republic in the winter to play.

We extend our condolences to Gwendolyn, his wife of 55 years; his son; three daughters; and 14 grandchildren.
