Biography:   Dr. Edward May was a close friend of Warren basketball as the volunteer team physician for all sports starting in 1962. School officials couldn’t begin to count the number of free physical exams May performed. He treated countless injuries and read many X-rays. The piece of mind given to everyone involved by his presence at games was priceless.

As a school board member, May was a strong supporter of all teams, players and coaches at Warren. He attended many state tournament games and paid for a room for Warren juniors at the state finals for many years. He was awarded the “Outstanding Team Physician Award” by the Illinois State Medical Society and the IHSA in 1984. He also became one of five charter members to be inducted into the Warren Township High School Hall of Fame in 1983.

Dr. Ed May died on May 8, 2022 at the age of 92.
