   I never used his products but I like watching him. His enthusiasm sold the product, no matter what he was pitching. He was considered the most effective pitchman in the business. Several companies stood in line to sign a contract with him. The FCC is blaming his death on the fact that he wasn't wearing seat belt during a rough landing on U.S. Air. Billy was hit on the head by falling debris during that landing. I don't know how a seat belt could have prevented his head inuries. He'll be missed.

      Yes it's true... He was only 50 years old too. That's very sad

   If it turns out that he was whacked with a piece of rebar, I have an alibi

   I always thought he was obnoxious, but like all things, once someone's gone, no matter what, you miss them. I really hope his family gets through this alright.
   
   The world will not be as oxyclean without you, Billy.

    I just wonder if the "Sham WoW" guy is going to muscle in on Billy's informercials now.
