BOB MAY 1939 - 2009

Sunday 18th January 2009

We have received very sad news this evening regarding Bob May, Robot from Lost in Space. Bob passed away during the night (aged 69) and the Lost in Space and Irwin Allen community has lost one of its most enthusiastic stars. The past few couple of months have been very traumatic for Bob and his family as their home and all their possessions were destroyed by the fires in California last year. Below are some of the latest news feeds.
