It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved father, Bernard F. R. May who passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by his family on April 2, 2025 at the age of 94.
Bernard was a devoted husband to Patricia May (Cormier) and they were married for 65 wonderful years. He was a loving father to his children, Patricia May (Connelly), Bernard May, Martin May, Andrea May (Spencer), and Terence May.
