Yesterday was a sad, sad day at the RVANews office when we learned off the passing of TV pitchman, Billy Mays. What can we say, we loved that dark-bearded salesman with the inexplicably loud voice.

In his honor, here’s one of our favorite YouTube videos – a nod to Mr. Mays himself.

Valerie Catrow is the former editor of RVANews who now spends her days raising her son, reading young adult fiction, and watching really bad television. When she's not contributing to our parenting column or ranting and raving on her personal blog, Made in Richmond, you can probably find her abusing the caps lock key on Twitter.

   I have a tribute to Mr. Mays on my twitter page at http://twitter.com/thecheckoutgirl .

   Seriously, I was so enjoying his antics on Pitchmen and have bought more than one product, based on his demo. He will be missed.
