Dad,

As I attended a funeral of an acquiantance on your birthday yesterday, I had many thoughts running through my mind. I still can't believe you are gone forever from this Earth.
There's a huge void left by your absence in many of our lives. One that will never be filled. The only way I can try to fill it is from the many memories of you that I will cherish all of my days ahead.
Even though our relationship was far from a perfect father-son relationship, it was always based upon the strong bond between you and I, built long ago. No matter what was said or thought, deep down, we knew there was always love there. There will always BE love there.

I hope you celebrated a beautiful birthday in Heaven yesterday. You were and are always in my thoughts. I hope that your heart is full of joy, that you shared your special day with family and friends, and most of all, that you shared the day with our Lord.

Happy Birthday Big Brother! I know that you are dancing and having a great time in heaven ... please pray for all of us on Earth. You are gone, but not forgotten. We will see you again someday ...

Love,
Your Little Sister

Tim,
First off I want to say sorry for your lost!

I apologize for just now writing in this guestbook but to be honest I had no clue what to write. Seeing this happened to you, made me realize that you could lose anyone you love at anytime. It also made me ask myself, “what if that happened to my own father when I don’t even talk to him”. I can relate to you on so many different levels.

All I can really say is cherish all the memories you had with your father. You have shared some amazing memories with your father. Your dad seemed like a pretty good father and a good person.

Your whole family is in my heart and prayers.
God bless!

I just learned of Tim's passing and wish to extend to the families my deepest condolences. I will always remember Tim's warm smiles, his loving squeezes when I wasn't looking, and his charming sense of humor. Tim will surely be missed by everyone he's ever touched by his presence, and I will miss him always.

My condolences go out to you Tim. I am sorry for the loss of your father. Everything happens for a reason. Think about it. He is now your gaurdian angel, watching over the son he truly loves and cares for more than any one person could ever imagine.

TIM:

Both my wife and I are sorry to hear about your loss.

The one thing I remember most about your father was that he was a really great guy. You could always rely on him.

He was Ken Jordan’s replacement at the SUPPACT and the Station Commander was Major Fox.

Hope he is relaxing in the great ski resort we all hope to go to in the future.

I knew your dad back when. Sorry to hear of him passing. What a shame. He actually helped me get out trouble with the Polizi in 1975, for a minor offense... nice guy.

Tim,
I am so sorry to hear about your dad. Your description of your childhood memories is indicative of the good man that he was. You have been blessed to have shared a childhood with such a loving and giving man. Two people who share such fond memories will go around again some day. Until then I hope you find peace, contentment and laughter in the fond memories of your dad.

Timmy,

What a great tribute to your father, my brother ... YES, ... a great man!!!

As a child and a teenager, I always looked forward to his return visits from the Army to Erie, PA and Baltimore, MD. We had great "family" times and memories ... I only wish there had been more recent family bonding experiences.

Wouldn't it be great if "all" of the May family would reunite in this life to share the joys of life? Is anyone interested in attending a family reunion in Erie, PA this summer? Our matriarch will be 90 years old.

Though time passed by, Tim will live in our hearts forever. We know that God is a forgiving God and take comfort in knowing that Tim is finally pain free and resting in peace. Some day, we will once again be reunited with Tim.

With love, sympathy and prayers to all,

Janice May Scicchitano

I'm sorry for your loss of your father. My memories of him were that of his being my big brother always looking out for me as we were growing up. We had some very good times together. I'll miss him.
Remember the good times you both had with him and that God will have a final resting place for him.

Timothy May Jr

My father was a great man!

Although the years have passed and time gone by I will always remember our last moments, our last times together. The journey takes me back to 1975-76 when Dad was a Staff Sergeant in the Army. I remember my first day when I arrived in Berchtesgaden, Germany. The first thing dad did was take me to the barber shop to get a haircut…..guess he didn’t like my shoulder length hair. He was my dad, but even more importantly, my best friend. Dad and I shared so many experiences that only we have and know and forever they will remain within my heart. He showed me a life that is incomparable to any other I could imagine.

I remember Dad teaching me to ski in the Bavarian Alps and having that opportunity to ski everyday after school. I remember our hikes though the mountains and his showing me the beauty of God’s Earth. Dad was an avid reader, a trait he passed onto me. The little bookstore was a routine stop for us every Sunday morning. I think he had read every Zane Grey western out there. My dad was my scout leader and attended the International Boy Scout Jamboree in Bad Tolz Germany with me. He was my little league coach and watched every game even though our team never won a single one. I remember like it was yesterday, he and I playing catch in the yard. He and I loved to play tennis every Saturday morning - he was playing tennis but I was just smashing the ball and hoping that sometimes it would stay in the court yard. He was the manager of the Theater on base and he would allow me to help him run the movies – something really neat to a young kid. Those nights when the theater was playing R rated movies when I wasn’t allowed to go, I would stay up until he came home. I knew the sound of that old Volkswagen Bug as it would come down the street and shine those lights across the living room wall. Although he probably knew I had just ran to the bed, he never said anything

Dad, I just want to say Thank you for instilling in me the love of the mountains, skiing, hiking, and the ability to recognize God's beautiful work in nature. I will never forget all we shared because it was only you and I there when I saw my first rock face, when we skied the Blue Glacier, when I saw my first frozen blue waterfall, when I first walked upon Hitler's Eagle's Nest, when we discovered the Salt mines in Salzburg, Austria and so many more adventures with you that I'd never be able to list them all. Thank you for the experiences of living all over our country, Panama, and Germany as an army brat.

Dad I hope you're finally resting in peace. After 28 years in the Army, and several years in the Sheriff's office as a deputy, you retired but it wasn't a pain free retirement. You've been through so much throughout your life, let alone the last few hard years.

And though the last thirty years seems to have melt away I long for the time when we will once again reunite. Until then dad, know that there hasn’t a day gone by that I didn’t think of you, love you and long to spend time with you. You will surely be missed. . Goodbye for now Dad and until we see one another again one day, know I love you.

My condolences go out to you and your family. I knew Tim and Timmy back in Deutschland back in 75 and thought that they were a very close father and son. I actually hoped I would have a kid like Timmy way back when. Now I have 4 boys of my own. Anyhow, my prayers are with you and your family.

Tim Jr - I am so sorry for the loss of your dad. He must have been a remarkable man. A child doesn't grow into the man he becomes without the influences of his dad and a remarkable man you are. I enjoy hearing the stories of your life in Germany with him and hope that you will carry those memories always and forever - these are the memories that only you know and treasure - a time when it was only father and son, best friend and buddies. Your reunion will happen one day but until then, may your dad rest in peace and watch over you. May you travel your life journey with your dad and your memories always in your heart.

R.I.P Grandpop. You became part of me. I will never forget when I finally got to talk to you for the first time and you were asking me questions and you just paused. Then you finally said " You dont know how good it is to finally hear your voice". I wish we would have made it up there to meet you. We loved the pictures you and Carol would send us in the mail of your decorations and on the holidays. You will be greatly missed and I will finally see you one day. See ya there.
