Happy Birthday, Jerry! He did a great job with his characters. I wish him well and yes he was a great puppeteer. Let the magic, craziness, and love be in him. As Gobo would say, Thanks Jerry and happy birthday to you too."

His characters were:
Floyd - The Muppet Show
Lew Zealand - The Muppet Show
Count Von Count - - Sesame Street
Camilla, Gonzo's girlfriend (chicken) - The Muppet Show
Crazy Harry - The Muppet Show
Sherlock Holmes - Sesame Street
Gobo Fraggle (main character) - Fraggle Rock
