Billy Mays - You Will Be Missed

We have lost a legend. A self made man. A man of the people. A pitchman unlike any other. A father, a son, and a husband. To his family and friends, my deepest condolences. For the rest of us luckily there are videos of Billy all around. Personally I have watched many. And "Pitchmen" on the discovery channel, will surely not be the same, if it comes back next season at all. To Billy III, your dad may not have been there all the time, but I'm sure that what he did was in your best interest, to provide for you even when he couldn't be there. I miss Billy and I was never lucky enough to meet the man, though I wish I had. I feel like I've known him for years, through Oxi-Clean, the Awesome Auger, Mighty Putty, Ka-Boom and all of the other products I watched him pitch on Saturday mornings. On a scale of 1 - 5, I give you a 10. Billy, you will be missed! "Life's a pitch, then you buy!" -Billy Mays
