Billy Mays Dead at 50
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,529328,00.html
I believe the original report of his death came from his son's Twitter page.

I never really looked up to him but if you read the story you got to admire what he accomplished. From selling mops on the boardwalk to being a television icon and one of the best at what he does. Sort of reminds me of how Don LaFontaine (my personal fav dude) got into his business.
Seems to be quite the week of celebrity deaths.

There will be a 21 Kaboom salute in his memory.

My dad didn't wake up this morning.. I'm sure you'll all hear about it. It hasn't yet hit me but it's about to.

That's the saddest thing I have ever heard. I feel for him.
A local famous blacksmith died before MJ so that's six.
