R.I.P. Big Bird and Oscar

[Thalstan]

Caroll Spinney, who voiced both Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch, has passed.

Sesame Street was a staple in my house hold growing up, both for me, and my nieces and nephews.

RIP Mr. Spinney, and say hello to your new Neighbor, Mr. Rogers from all of us. We miss you both.

Big Damn Heros!

Damn. My wifey told me about his passing. In the chaos of the day to day I didn't correlate him with Sesame Street, Big Bird or ol' Oscar.

You shall indeed be missed. Keep the masses happy in heaven old boy.

What an impact one person can have...

The episode where Big Bird learns what death means is even more in the feels now.
