He was an icon.
Maybe his head wasn't as hard as he thought it was. |

At least Billy believed in the products he sold. |

From everything I've ever heard or read about Mays, what you saw was what you got. A very straight up guy. Too bad..... |

Such is life. |

I worked with a guy in my last job who is the spitting image of Billy Mays. I used to tease him all the time. |

Don't know if it's officially related yet though. the word I got from a radio show close to him was that he went through a botched hip replacement not to long ago. He's been on pain meds (like oxycotton) and may have taken too many by accident. He was scheduled for another hip replacement surgery tomorrow. I don't know any of this to be true, just what i'm hearing. |

Bummer. Too young for that.... |
