Remembering Billy Mays
Billy Mays, the reason many of us have grown to love infomercial products, passed away in his home this morning. As reported on FoxNews.com and confirmed by his son’s twitter stream, @youngbillymays, Billy Mays was found unresponsive in his bed.
Our hearts go out to our dear friend as well as to the Mays family. News of his passing was something we simply didn’t see coming on this sunny Sunday morning. I don’t even think it has hit us yet.
According to a couple news outlets, the family requests privacy at this time. Those same outlets report that no one in the family suspected anything as Mays returned home last night from another OxyClean shoot in Philadelphia.
Thoughts and prayers to the Mays family,

Here’s How I Will Best Remember Billy Mays
This was shot on September 4, 2008, the city of Valparaiso, IN officially crowned the day “Billy Mays Day.” The video was made to present the judging rules for ERA 2008, but what most of us will remember was the electric fun that went into shooting this video.
Billy Mays was a gregarious and generous man. Humble and gracious to the end. A true Amercian icon.
Billy Mays – July 20, 1958 – June 28, 2009.
