Yes, Jim would've been 70 if he was still here, but he has such a grace about him that makes him timeless, and ageless.

Just as Kermit was surrounded by chaos and crazy and disparate characters that somehow didn't seem to belong together, Jim did the same with all his friends. Bringing together people from all walks of life to become a harmonious being. All sharing his passion, his vision, and carrying on his simple notion of what you can do when you love people, and follow your dreams.

Jim, you've inspired me beyond belief. Over the years I've had the chance to dabble in puppetry, filmmaking, animation, narrative storytelling, and your influence has touched everything I've done.

Thank you for your tremendous gift. One of your dreams has come true. You made this world a better place by your being here.:smile:
