My sister Janelle and I have some of the best memories of spending our summers with Uncle Arthur and Aunt Myrtle as children. We excitedly looked forward to leaving the city life behind us and entering a majestic and tranquil environment with mountains and trees surrounding us at Maybrook Lodge. When we arrived at Maybrook, we would run to the swings, and afterwards quickly changed into our swimming gear. Believe it or not, Uncle Arthur and Aunt Myrtle occasionally joined us. We just knew we were his favorite niece and nephew when he allowed us to drive his red tractor while he was shifting the gears. However, as we became older, it was evident that the tractor was clearly his baby. After a busy day of work, quality time was spent with him when he took us for an ice cream cone treat or a run to McDonald’s. It was a time to talk and laugh about the day. We always enjoyed his live entertainment of Calypso and Soca music while he diligently worked on different tasks. Uncle Arthur showed me how to change a light fixture without shocking the daylights out of myself. There were times when I assisted him and was not aware that I did something wrong. However, I quickly knew it with his bellowing thunderous voice. Of course I immediately tried to defend and explain myself to get a softer tone from him, which sometimes worked and sometimes did not. Finally, Uncle Arthur loved to tell jokes and stories that made us both laugh.
Thank you Uncle Arthur, for being an important part of our lives. We appreciated spending every summer vacation with you, Aunt Myrtle and our cousins who are our brothers and sisters now. May the wonderful memories of you continue to put a smile on our faces.


My Sincere and Heartfelt Sympathy to the immediate May Family:Aunt Myrtle, Ava, Rachel, Owen  and Arthur and all the extended Family members in the loss of our beloved  Arthur S  May. 
I see it fit to celebrate his life as a man who lived well as a loving and dedicated Husband, Father and Family man.
I'll  always remember all the Birthdays and Christmas parties in Mt Vernon, NY. but the highlight was our 3hr trips from May to September each year during the 70s - 80s to assist getting his favorite Summer country place: MayBrook Lodge in the Catskills ready for "Fun Seekers" escaping the city. 
This venture created lots of fun work by implementing simple country style fun. This experience will be indelibly forged in my memory especially Csn Arthur giving us as well as guests rides in the trailer of his famous red tractor; he was having fun and definitely in his element. So in closing I'll say, even though we must part the memories will not be forgotten because the fun and love you shared with us will unite us again some day. You batted well to 95.75 yrs. 
So Well done and Farewell Csn Arthur. Rest in Peace..

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. May about 5 years ago as a caregiver for both he and Mrs. May.  He always greeted me with a Hi Dear how are you doing. We had some good laughs and conversations about the MTA, taking the trains to and from Croton and Peekskill into Grand Central.  We had good/bad days but ALWAYS  ended the day with an Ok Mr. May I'll see you in the morning have a good day, with him saying ok dear with that cute little boy smile on his face... I'll never forget him he will forever be a memory embedded in my heart. Rest in Peace, you are now in the arms of the Angel's. Continue to protect Mrs. May and your family. I will continue to care for your wife and share some laughs with her as well which you know will include her best imitation of  you!!

Uncle Arthur was my favorite uncle. I will always have the best memories of the summers spent at Maybrook Lodge. I will laugh when I remember how you fussed about the woodchuck eating your vegetables. To my  Aunt Myrtle, my thoughts, prayers and love.  Condolences to my cousins, who were more like sisters and brothers to me and my brother Tommy. Love you all dearly. RIHP Uncle Arthur.❤

Uncle Arthur was near and dear to me. I have beautiful childhood memories of him. He was loving, kind , generous and funny. Always a smile on his face. His jokes were funny. If I had a problem he would lovingly tell me ' this too shall pass". It always did. I will hold memories of him dear. May his soul rest in peace. To Aunt Myrtle: God will comfort you. Love to those he leaves behind. xo

Thanks for the wonderful memories especially the weekends  spent with him in Mount Vernon.
May his soul RIP. 

My sincere condolences to the family. I’ve known Uncle Arthur for over 50 years. He was a great provider for his family and a hard worker. God bless and Rachel was waiting with opens arms.
  Much love❤️🙏🏿
