Group of 10 Memorial Trees

An extraordinary professor and a wonderful person. It was a privilege to be one of his students at UCB.

Although we never met, I grew up hearing about my father´s (Charles May) relative, Dolf May. Very sorry to hear of his passing.

Dolf was a special friend who modeled giving back better than most people I know. I remember him being there for my Mom when my Dad passed away. Helga and I are so sorry we could not be at his Memorial Service as Helga just came home from the hospital. Our love, blessings and prayers for peace to Margaret and your family.
