Every recording session with him was always laugh-filled. Yet when the lights went down or the engineer said, &#8216;rolling&#8217; he was the consummate professional. He worked hard to get it right and we could always depend on him to deliver. In talking with his wife Diana I found out that he loved the sessions, the camaraderie, the give and take during the rehearsals and actual recording. Whenever one of his shows aired he would listen, as do I to mine. However, Rick would listen to the ones he&rsquo;d had no part in and write to say, &#8216;Wasn&rsquo;t so and so great!&#8217; or &#8216;Man, that was a fantastic scrip!&#8217; I would always send him a copy of the finished product.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mr May clearly brought a lot of joy to peoples&#8217; lives, including us gamers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Our condolences go out to his loved ones, especially his wife Diana.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Rest in peace, Rick May.<\/p>\n<div data-oembed-url=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=h42d0WHRSck\">\n<div style=\"left: 0; width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/h42d0WHRSck?rel=0\" style=\"border: 0; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute;\" tabindex=\"-1\" srcdoc=\"&lt;style&gt;*{padding:0;margin:0;overflow:hidden}html,body{height:100%}img,span{position:absolute;width:100%;top:0;bottom:0;margin:auto}span{height:1.5em;text-align:center;font:48px\/1.5 sans-serif;color:white;text-shadow:0 0 0.5em black}&lt;\/style&gt;&lt;a href=https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/h42d0WHRSck?autoplay=1&gt;&lt;img src=https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/h42d0WHRSck\/hqdefault.jpg alt='YouTube video thumbnail'&gt;&lt;span&gt;&#9654;&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/a&gt;\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is with heavy hearts that we report on the death of Rick May, who has voiced several video game characters, including the Soldier from&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1327,"featured_media":4076,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4075","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-video-games","content_type-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
