RIP Carrol Spinney

Another little piece of my childhood fades away yet I’m still happy because Carrol brought Brian and me joyous hours with his Oscar the Grouch and Big Bird work. Neither character would be the same without Carrol’s energies. Thanks to his work, Sesame Street became the worldwide success it remains today. He may not have gone on to be as famous as Jim Henson or Frank Oz but he was a critical element to teaching children the little lessons the program set out to do.

Thanks for all your work, especially Oscar’s cranky demeanor.
