 Robert was the superintendent of buildings and grounds for the Clearview school in Briarcliff Manor, NY where he also served on the school board of trustees. He then worked for the Valhalla School System, in Valhalla, NY for over 30 years prior to retiring in 2015. He served in the United States Coast Guard and was a member of the Nutley, NJ American Legion. He belonged to a gun club and was an arms instructor. When Robert was not hunting, he spent much of his time as an avid reader and collector of books. Most would agree that Robert was quick witted and had a keen since of humor.

Robert was the father of Robert M. May III, Jennifer Meglio, Maureen May and the late Timothy May; his former wife Catherine (nee Thoma) May; sisters, Carolyn Ryan, Patricia Krug, and his brother-in-law John Krug; and his cherished grandchildren Heather, Kyle, Ashley, Kaitlyn, Timothy, Ryan, and his great-grandson Jacoby.
