Not sure what to say?

Even though I never had the joy of meeting Mr. May, I knew him through his many articles I collected. What a pleasure it is to read them again and again. Blessings and sympathy to his family.

To my valued neighbor, I will cherish our memories of Beebe Rd and your Z car. See you in heaven one of these days.

I was so sorry to hear of Lee's recent passing. We had corresponded on gardening topics several times in the late '90's and a few times after he moved to Connecticut. I just recently read that Lee and Lyn had moved back, living not far away in Marietta. I had thought about emailing him to see if he would like to see some "secret" natural spots at Kennesaw Mtn, but got caught up with other things and never got around to it. And now I'm too late. Our thoughts are with Lee's family...

I will always cherish our friendship.

As a young aspiring journalist still in college at UGA, Lee May was a mentor to me. When I finally got the chance to meet him face to face, he did not disappoint. He was as humble and professional as they come. I continued to follow his career in Los Angeles and beyond. Thank you Lee for paving the way for many and showing us how to be first class professional journalists. May you rest in peace.

Mr. May, thank you very much for writing about my dad when he was working at the post office.
