I am shocked to hear of his death. I loved watching him on television promoting products such as Mighty MendIt, Hercules Hooks, ESPN360.com, Kaboom!, and Big City Sliders, among others. Those products are amazing, and the main reason I bought them was because of the commercials featuring him. RIP Billy Mays
