FAREWELL, CAROLL SPINNEY...


You gave children and adults a wealth of entertainment, filled with education and warmth.


Not only did you bring to life Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch for "Sesame Street", but your characterizations filled "The Electric Company", "Mister Roger's Neighborhood", "The Judy and Goggle Show"; "Bozo's Big Top", "The Flip Wilson Show" and "Crazy Crayon" (which you animated), as well as such big-screen endeavors as "Follow that Bird", "The Muppet Movie", "The Great Muppet Caper", "The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland" and "Homeward Bound: the Incredible Journey."


Your work will continue through others, Mr. Spinney, but it would never have charmed to the extent that it did without your concealed smile.
