"Billy worked with determination over the years to develop as the supreme voice of the infomercial industry. It is his persona against which all pitchmen will be measured now and in the future.
"Billy's ability to get people excited about a product was merely an extension of the engaging, likeable and earnest person he was off the set. Although he will be greatly missed by the industry he helped to popularize, his loss will be felt most by those who had the distinct pleasure of knowing him personally. Our deepest sympathy goes to his wife Deborah and family."
