Yes, any death is a loss, but the fact is this guy was just an annoying shouting shill for products that no one needs and never really worked as advertised. GR specifically, why would you actually miss him? He wasn't charming annoying like Darunia, just annoying annoying. At any rate, I'm certainly glad for a new regulation that prevents commercials from having a volume louder than the shows they accompany. This guy "used" that more than anyone else.
I thought he was charming. He also had this mercenary way about him, as if he didn't really care about what he was selling, he just liked to sell, and his enthusiasm came from the fact that he really seemed to enjoy doing what he did.
I never bought a thing he pitched, and I wouldn't watch a Billy Mays Greatest Hits video, but as far as celebrities go, he's pretty unique.
