Hi lee
Now yoyr on heaven's team! Smack some homers out of this universe!

So sorry for your loss. May Almighty God grant you peace as you cope with your loss. Jer.29:11

A friend and great teammate. So sorry to hear about Lee. Enjoyed rabbit hunting in off season. Had a great time. Also enjoyed our visit at Old-timers banquet in Indy a couple of years ago. Mr. MO was a super person. Condolences to Terrye and family.

My heartfelt sympathy to the May family.
Thank you for sharing him.

He will always be a part of my memories. A great person and a great baseball player.

and Lee May rounds third and heads for home...

In the '60s Reds radio called Lee "The Big Slam From Birmingham." In 1969 my history teacher, Mr. Foster, said his father was prejudiced, but Lee May could have stayed at his home anytime he wanted. Lee was a special part of my youth and I'll always remember and appreciate him for that. My thoughts, prayers and condolences to the family.

Remembering you playing in Rocky Mount,NC RIP

I'm so sorry I never got to meet Lee and tell him how I cried when the Reds traded him to Houston. He was my childhood hero and I always thought I would meet him someday and thank him for his contributions and there's a lesson in that I didn't. Never heard a bad word about him. I send my condolences to the family. May he rest in peace.

My condolences to Terrye and the family. Me (Thunderbolt), Pistol Pete and Big Daddy would come to Bopper's New Years Eve party and have so much fun and have fun during the week going out to the golf course and just sitting around talking. I remember his love for cb-radio. His friendship will be missed-

Praying for peace and comfort to the May family.

Our condolences are with you all.

To the May family,

Wishing you God's comfort and blessing at this difficult time.

Lee May was a great and very exciting hitter and player. I'm so glad he spent some of his career with us in Baltimore. He was one of my favorite players and I was so lucky to be able to meet him and talk with him.

Lee May- a fine man and a great baseball player. You are loved in Baltimore and are in the Orioles Hall of Fame. Thank you for all the great memories.

When I was a little boy my dad took me to Crosley Field to see the Reds play. It was my first major league game. During the game Lee and Tony Perez hit back to back home runs. That is etched in my mind as if it happened yesterday. This is one of my earliest memories of my beloved Big Red Machine and Lee was an important part of that. May family, thank you for sharing your precious loved one with the rest of us. I am praying for you.

Dear Carlos, My condolences on the passing of your big brother, Lee. I know he was a mentor and role model to you. His encouragement showed in both of your careers, making you guys the first pair of brothers to play against each other in the All-Star game ! Stay strong, friend. Your memories of Lee will keep him with you always.

Dear Lisa,

I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of your Dad. My prayers and sympathy are with you at this very sad time. Love, Jackie Flynn

To my lifelong friend, I will always keep you close in my heart. To the family, know that those of us who
love the Lord have the assurance that we will see our loved ones again. Blessings to each of you.

My deepest sympathies to the May family for the loss of Lee. May God's Word strengthen you during this difficult time. (Isa. 41:10,13)

I'm so very sorry to hear about your loss. And also may your family find comfort love and strength and with the loving support of family and friends at this time.

A great ballplayer and I loved to watch him play when he was with the Reds. Condolences to the May family.

Offering our heartfelt condolences and prayers to the family of Mr May. Big Bopper was truly an amazing and talented player. His contribution to the sports world will always be remembered, also his kindness and wisdom. May God grant solace to the family during this most challenging time. With Love & prayers

To the May Family;
It is very truly so sad to hear about the passing of Lee May, he was the great 3-timie Major League Baseball All-Star. Also, i do believe that everyone around the Major League Baseball around the country is mourning the lost of him, yet he will never be forgotten.. I am a New York Yankee fan. My thoughts, prayers are with the may family, may you find the strength, comfort at this at this sad time...

Rest in peace Big Bopper...

My condolences to the May family. May the God of comfort grant you the strength to cope.

As an early version of the big red machine of the pennant winning 1970 Reds, Lee was the middle of the line up muscle. His trade to Houston in 1971 solidified the dynasty that would formally be known as the big red machine, when Lee was traded for Joe Morgan, ceaser geranimo, Jack billingham, and Denis menke. He had a great career worthy of hall of fame consideration. My condolences the the May family, Lee was an outstanding ballplayer.

Great power hitter, great character, from a great baseball family. Reggie Jackson once had some comments to Lee in regard to hitting approach. Lee's confident response? "Where I go, the grass don't grow!" A true "Baseball Man," who had distinguished careers as a player and coach.

Rest in Peace, Mr. May, and thank you for your wonderful presence and all of the memorable moments/contributions on the diamond.

Sending Love & Prayers to the Lee/Daniels Family...
God has you in his arms, and I have you all in my heart!

May family, A hero of mine as a child and part of the cog that turned the Big Red Machine. May God comfort your family during this sad time.

My condolences to the family and friends of Mr May. May he rest in peace.

Godspeed Lee, and thank you for sharing a part of your life with us. Playing ball again where the sun is always shining and there are no rainouts.

I think he also played for the Milw. Braves and had a good singing voice..

Big Bopper, rest in peace. God bless your family and friends with peace and comfort . Thanks for the joy and great memories in Cincinnati. You'll forever be BIG here.

My sincere condolence to the family and friends...
