My friend, Blaine May...the salt of the earth. You will forever be referred to as a legend within Olathe Youth Baseball.

Your character on and off the field was nothing but perfect. Both of my boys played in the league for a number of years. Through all those games, years and umpires, they only know the name of ONE UMPIRE...Blaine. We will all miss you my friend. We will do our best to carry on your legacy and try to spin those "Blaine May" stories like only you could. We all lost a true hero!

My sincerest sympathies to the May family. I hope you all know that Blaine touched our lives and we will remember him forever in our hearts.
