This is really hitting me hard, and I'm crying because of all of this.

I think a lot of us are.

It is so wonderful that he lived long enough to see Sesame Street reach 50. Such a rare gem. Thankfully his characters will live on.

No doubt something related to his Dystonia, but the family is keeping the details private for the time being.

Much love to his family & the Sesame team. He left behind such a wonderful legacy.
