I came to know Rev. May and his family as they befriended and ministered to my friend Eileen McLeod St. John. They were so special to her and included her in many of their family dinners over the years. I will remember your father as a Godly gentleman, wise, kind and generous. My prayers are with you as you experience the holidays without him.

Worth was always an inspiration to me when I had my first parish, St. Stephen’s, in Latonia. He was a great man.

Our deep love and sympathies to all the family. Uncle Worth was a lovely man, a true gentle-man. Scenes from childhood of summers at Kanuga,making and mending, always with a smile and a twinkle in his eyes, always a wise and calming counsellor. From across the Atlantic, we will miss him.
