Billy Mays was found dead in his Florida home this morning. They said he hit his head real hard on a landing at an airport yesterday. He went to bed complaining that he didn't feel well. He was, also, 50 years old.

D.B.O. Not a club; a state of mind.

What a shame! I loved watching that "Pitchmen " TV show he did. He will be missed.

I was actually more shocked that he died as opposed to Wacko Jacko. I was kinda half expecting him to off him self some crazy way.

Boy i'm glad that i'm not 50  Grin - No realy that does suck - Too young - A blow to the head is never good - Hopefully others will learn to get into the doctor  - have known others that did the same thing and all most died. Yes a bad week.

Wouldn't an appropriate way to honor his memory be to type our condolences in ALL CAPS?

IT WAS LIKE HE WAS YELLING ALL THE TIME EVEN WHEN SPEAKING NORMALLY!  CALL NOW! Grin

The voice may have sounded like Dyno, but several of us thought he could have been Doug Mische's more handsome brother.   Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

I saw Doug at Cars and Coffee on Saturday and he was doing well.  Don't know if there will be another VW in his future at this time, but hope so.
