Happy Birthday my Darling. I miss you more than I can say.I love you with all my heart. God Bless.

I wish I had the chance to have know him personally. I am thankful I at least can continue to enjoy all the great work he has left all of us. I just watch the entire lost in space series and now after finding out who was inside the robot I want to watch them all over again. fair winds and following seas Bob

Mr. May was always a favorite of my twin sons (now 19) at sci-fi cons in the 90's & early 00's. He remembered them from year to year and always made them feel special, even inviting them to eat with him. One of the classiest and down to earth individuals I have ever met. My sons still cherish their photos with him.

Hello,
I grew up watching LIS and though it's hard to pick one, my favorite character is the robot. I currently have the episodes on DVD. I honestly never knew about Bob May until I was an adult. I also never knew that the robot voice was done by another man, Dick Tufeld. Thank you, Mr. May for your brilliant portrayal of fans' favorite robot.
May you R.I.P.
A fan,
Ray Rogers

Hey Deb, Sorry to hear about your dad. Our family was friends for much of the early 60s thru the early 80s. I would love to hear from you. Judy, Im sorry for your loss. Marty, God bless.

It is sad I never had a chance to meet you Mr. May
B-9 will always be my first mech fandom.

Many fond memories of the tv show lost in space to which this wonderful man gave life to his robot B9. A sad loss to many fans the world over. Thanks Bob.

And thank you to Mark Schwandt for this wonderful opportunity to write somehting and see part of Bob!

My brother and I and friends also grew up watching Lost in Space-mater of fact, we were about the ages of Will and his sister.We all loved the robot--including our parents!
I never got to know Bob May, but I wish I had.One can tell just loking at his smile he was a lovely person.My prayers to his beloved family and for his joy and peace in the next world.He'll be missed.

So sorry to hear of Bob's passibg but because of him I built my robot that actualy walks as well . Now I know I can do anything ! The Robot is my all time favorite and I thank Bob for bringing him to life, so in a way Bob will live forever !!!

LIS was my favorite show as a kid and the robot was my favorite character. I had the honor of meeting Bob May at the Motor City Comic Con a few years ago. His humor, friendlliness and warmth struck me immediately. My prayers go out to his family.

Just wanted to pay my respects to Bob. He was a great person that had the ability to make you feel like you had been friends all your lives. I was hoping to get to see him again in Louisville KY so I could tell him what an influence he had made on my life.

We all remember the Wizard of OZ with the man behind the curtain. Bob is the man behind the mechanical suit.

Would be nice to see Lost in Space remade on the Sci-fi channel with Bobs son playing the robot.

I didn't ever really think about the man inside the Robot, until I found this site! To learn of his death is very saddening. He left a great legacy! I think he's my hero---not everyone could do what he did!

I'm a LIS fan. Aways have been-Always will be! I have all three years on DVD and never tire of seeing them. My husband, David, and I were watching one of the shows night before last. We discussed the characters & those who lent their expertise in bringing those characters that we so love to life! I am so saddened to hear of Bob's death! My husband-who is 50-had never seen an episode of LIS-until we married 5 years ago. Can you imagine seeing it for the 1st time as an adult after all these years?

I was a young man when I met Bob. I was 3 years out of high school. I met him through my best friend who was playing semi pro football. He said you need to come and join the team. They are great and so is the coach. So I tried out and made it. I met his son Marty on it and later met Deb. Then I would meet the whole family. He would always open his house to us when he lived off Ranaldi. We would all go over and play pool and that's where I found out who he was. darn I ran out of room.

My heart goes out to the May Family for their loss. I know that we all must die once, but still it is hard to let go of those we love and spend so much of our lives with. May God Bless His Family.

I grew up watching LIS. Bob's voice is one you don't forget. I never met the man, but feel I know him. You will be missed.

M thoughts and prayers go out to Bob's family and friends.
He will be missed.
