Bob May: RIP
Bob May passed away today. Many, if not most of you probably don’t recognize the name or face. I know I didn’t right away. The reason that I’m noting his passing is because he played an important role in one of my favorite TV shows when I was a kid. Bob May was the man in the robot suit on “Lost in Space.” Although it was Dick Tufeld who provided the robot’s voice, it was Bob May that made the robot move. Together they created one of the most memorable tv characters of all time.
Bob May didn’t have a huge list of credits on the Internet Movie Database. He wasn’t a household or name or have an instantly recognizable face, but he did play a part on one of my favorite shows as a kid and I didn’t want to let his passing go without mention.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends and fans.
