When I heard that Billy Mays had died I thought my mom was playin’ a joke, but then I realized that it was true. I was very upset when I found out that Billy Mays died, he was my favorite infomercial pitchman. Billy Mays was truly a pioneer for all sorts of media. His famous quote “Hi Billy Mays here for Oxi Clean!” will ring in my head for years to come, but will be a happy thought whenever it comes to mind. Rest peacefully Billy, I hope one day I’ll see you doing another commercial for Oxi Clean in heaven! Hey someone’s gonna have to sell it to us to keep our robes white!

We were saddned to hear of Billys passing and hope his family finds the stregnth to endure this most difficult time.
Billy burst into our homes every day bringing us products that served to both make our lives easier and bring fortune to the inventors whose dreams he helped realize.
He was more than a “pitchman”, he was a figure of the American dream realized. We’ll miss you Billy. God Bless.

“It’s true that Mays was an inspiration to most new entrepreneurs out there at one point or another. In fact, he was the perfect embodiment of the American dream, from his humble beginnings on the Atlantic City Boardwalk to becoming a national icon with his own television show. He was our daily reminder that the only thing standing in the way of liberating ourselves from the 9-5 jobs we hate so much was a simple way to solve a problem coupled with a good sales pitch. While Billy Mays has passed, he lives on in the imaginations of millions of Americans whenever they ask themselves that famous question: ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’”

I am only a fan, never having had the pleasure of meeting Billy Mays, but I know I would have liked him as a person. His natural good nature came through like the suns rays and he will be greatly missed by his Tampa Bay fans and his fans around the country. May God be with his wife and children. May his young daughter know how loved her dad was. Rest in Peace Billy Mays.

I’m lost for words. I just got to really know the real Billy Mays by watching his show on Discovery. He will be missed dearly. To the man with the blue shirt.

How sad and shocking that Billy Mays is gone! My husband and I are big fans of “Pitchmen,” and had looked forward to watching it for years to come. I can’t imagine how sad his family and friends must be.

Surely Billy Mays is off pitching to the angels. Bless his soul and may he rest in peace.

My brother and I were just discussing this new Billy Mays show a few days ago. My brother was an avid fan and was totally into the show. I had never paid much attention to the show, but there is NO WAY you could ignore a commercial when Billy Mays was the pitchman. Always cheerful and loud, but always ON.

What a tragic week of deaths for celebrity this last week has been. It seems that there must be some connection to this death and the rough plane landing, even though the medical examiner’s PRELIMINARY reports do not indicate that there is.

Rest in Peace, Billy Mays. My the Lord God comfort your family, friends, and fans!
