Remembering Jerry Nelson (July 10, 1934-August 23, 2012)

I know...it just bugs me that they're showing clips/audio of Marty's Snuffy while saying that...

Yeah that's the frustrating thing about 24 hour news, they're in such a hurry they don't have time to research properly.

The news screws up again.

I just thought of something. After 30 years, Jerry is finally reuniting with his daughter. I can almost picture them walking together like they did in GMC.

Describe Jerry using one word.
Mine would be "magical"

Describe Jerry using one word.

Groovy.

All of the major news corporations have credited Jerry as Snuffy, and you have to admit, he DID ORIGINATE the role, so in a sense, that does say something.

Yes they are...

Don't worry I'm afraid to too. I want to listen to the Fraggle songs on my iPod but I'm worried about my reaction if I do.

Same here, I can't even get the Count's voice out of my head as memories of Jerry's work flows through at the moment.

Yes, I've seen other obits that will mention if an actor originated a well known role.

If I had to sum up Jerry with one word, it would be "integrity". The more I look back on his work, the more I realize how much integrity was in every bit of it. Everything he did had this sense of integrity. His work had such the integrity of all aspects of the Muppets. He performed them all with such integrity, such personality, that it can never be matched.

Everyone else has said what Jerry meant to them, as a person, as a performer, and in his characters, so I guess I should say my piece. Jerry was special to me because he was a Muppet performer, and sure, I adored all of his characters and their different personalities, but Jerry and the other performers are all special to me because they helped me, as a teenager desperate to fit in (as I was when I became a Muppet fan), to see that it was okay to think outside the box, to be different, and even to be a little weird. And for that, I'll always be grateful. Thank you, Jerry.
