I'll miss seeing your commercials on TV Billy. Rest in peace brother.

Apparently the autopsy showed he died of heart disease, not the blow to his head he suffered during the hard landing of that flight he was on....

No matter how annoying your commercials were, you were still a fun guy to listen to. We will miss you.

I'll never be able to watch another infomercial!
It just won't be the same, no one can take his place. RIP!

Man, what a crazy month June has been. Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, MJ, and now Billy Mays? Say it isn't so?
