[sooks]

Billy Mays is the guy that sells all those products from tv commercials!!!

Here is an article about it. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_obit_billy_mays

I will miss watching him on tv! :'(

Oh no!!!!!!!!!!  So sad. 

The article said he got hit in the head by something when his plane made a rough landing yesterday afternoon, didn't feel good when he got home and went to bed.  Guess we just never know when our time will come. :'(

He was so enthusiastic.

My goodness, I was just defending him on an actors site I use.  Also a fine article in the July issue of "Playboy"  (I just read the articles  )
His career is fascinating.  15 years doing home shows sharpened his skills.  Saw him today on the Discovery Channel, in a show called "Pitchmen"  Fascinating as well.

You don't have to like him, but he has made countless millions!

I personally had to turn the volume down whenever he came on TV... I just don't see why someone has to SHOUT to sell something.  Other than the noise level, I do admire him, though.  What an odd an unexpected way to die.  So sad.

Now they are saying he had a heart condition and died in his sleep of a heart attack. My DH liked watching the guy do his spiels. I guess he was just getting his life turned around when this happened.

Just 50 years old, we never know when our ticket is going to get punched. He seemed so healthy. I keep telling my friends at work that I'm gone the day I hit 55, I will not work there any longer, I will not spend the best years of my life in a refinery. A friend and good man retired yesterday at 61. He didn't want to but with his retirement he actually would have been losing money just to come to work, he would make more sitting at home doing what he pleased. I'd rather face the uncertainty for 4-6 months working for myself until I can get my business built up. You only get one life, live it.
