We will miss him forever.  Yes, some say he was loud.  Others say he was abrasive in his selling style, but I enjoyed watching him!  I remember sitting back and watching television when it happened – about thirty times each day…the inevitable took place:

Hi, Billy Mays here for ______________ (insert item name here).  Whether it was mighty putty that stopped leaks and suspended Billy high above the gound on a steel beam, holding onto a hard hat attached to the beam by the putty, or an amazing cleaning solution that obliterated blood stains from a bed sheet, he was there to save the day.

Don’t you just hate when you are trying to slice a cucumber and the mechanism you foolishly decided to use slips off the veggie and slices your index finger off?  Just a little mighty putty will reattach that digit and you can triumphantly wave it in the air proclaiming how the putty saved your career as a hand model.  How resourceful is that!

Thank you for keeping us clean and safe, Billy.
