Billy Mays Found Dead In His Home

[Boro]

Random question: Did he have kids or anything?

I know his son is a production assistant on the Pitchmen show.

Yep, as far as I know he only had a son (Billy Mays Jr. I believe, but I'm not sure I only saw the show once)

I think that Billy Mays was an icon - he wasn't as famous as Michael Jackson or Farrah Fawcett, or even Ed McMahon, but everyone knew who he was.. kind of like the "Maytag Repairman" of the "As Seen on TV" world.

I was very sad when I heard that Billy Mays died. I do watch Pitchmen, so it makes it even sadder. Its been cool to see him all around the Tampa Bay area. They would go down a street or be some where and you would know right where they are. On the show, he flies in a private plane, so I thought it was odd when I heard it was a regular airliner...

I have been in Orlando all weekend, and this is the first I have heard of a plane issue at TIA. I am not sure if it made the news....One would think it would. I will have to check Tivo from this weekend!
