\LOS ANGELES — Bob May, who donned The Robot’s suit in the hit 1960s television show “Lost in Space,” has died. He was 69.

May died Sunday of congestive heart failure at a hospital in Lancaster, said his daughter, Deborah May.



Rest in Peace.  I am sure you knew you were an icon.

I am bummed about losing Montalban and now May and gaining into the public someone as vapid as the new fuhrer :(

Bad days.

May didn't do the voice.  He was the body moving the robot. 

RIP.
