The Prince of Pitchmen Passes


To the master of marketing products on TV; to the prince of pitchmen; to the sultan of sales; to the hulk of hucksters; we remember and honor tv pitchman, Billy Mays, who passed away suddenly this weekend. Mays was 50.

His booming voice; his trademark beard; his undying enthusiasm for margianlly effective house-hold products--an already struggling economy lost one of its brightest beacons. Mays made the peddler soul in all of us smile.

When St. Peter looks at his chart today, he will see Billy's name on the list and St. Peter will boldly proclaim....

"BILLY MAYS HERE....welcome to heaven."
