In addition to being the original Big Bird understudy, he also performed Snarl, the Frackle that was a precursor to Gonzo in "The Great Santa Claus Switch."

Too sad, He was a minor puppeteer and didn't have enough attention.

Yeah, I heard about his passing. They should've given him his own character or two. Seems like a missed opportunity there.
