Billy Mays , Farrah , and Ed McMahon

With all the recent celebrity the edgray blog is beginning to resemble a celebrity obituary. The deaths of "Maude"," Kung Fu",and Michael Jackson brought back memories of my childhood. The death of anyone is a sad occcasion,however when its a well known individual it makes us take a pause. We think our celebrities will never get old, get sick ,or even die. Today we pay honor to the last group of celebrities that have died. A diverse group of individuals that have sold us stuff we didn't know we need, guys who kept us up late at night, and a girl whose poster became an icon.
Billy Mays -"The Guy who sold us stuff we didn't need"

I have listened to this guy for years mostly at night as I was trying to go to sleep. Mays' distinctive voice pitched everything and made our cabinets full of stuff that we didn't know we needed.

Farrah had the looks, and the hair ,the former UT beauty queen was the essential Texan beauty.
