"Big Bird, when people sadly die, they don't never come back".
Sonia Manzano 1983
We are so sad to hear about the passing of the legendary Sesame Street voice actor Caroll Spinney who was responsible for playing the voice of Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch since the show's inception back in 1969. This guy was a legendary man who shaped our childhoods and taught us so many things, such as making a nonsense word out of every letter in the alphabet, hosting a Tonight Show parody teaching about numbers and also putting a grouchy but cute rendition of the Billy Joel song "Just The Way You Are" with Marlee Matlin's amazing sign language to go with it.
Thank you Caroll Spinney for shaping up so many childhoods and teaching so many generations over the years and continuing to grow the Sesame Street legacy for years to come. You will be dearly missed by all of your fans and we will never forget you.
RIP Caroll Spinney
1933--December 8, 2019
