I haven't seen the full series of Fraggle Rock yet, but I am familiar with Doc from his appearance in Muppet Family Christmas.

He seemed like such a wonderful person. May he rest in peace. And you gotta love the friendship between him and Sprocket.:drool:

He had such a great chemistry with any of the Muppets that he worked with. On Fraggle or on Muppet Family Christmas, and it's kind of sad he did not do anymore work with the Muppets.

He had such a kind warmth about it, and I think that is what made him so likeable.

This is a tough blow to Fraggle fans... His spirit will live on throughout his work on Fraggle Rock.

( P.S If any of you are willing to post a paragraph on how you feel about this for my blog, feel free to PM me.)

In retrospect, I realize that Doc was my favorite character not in the Fraggle Five. I always loved his segments with Sprocket (I wonder how Steve reacted to this), and his performance in the final episode brings me to tears every time. This genuinely breaks my heart, to know that yet another thing I hold dear is gone. At least he's in heaven with his friend Gobo now.

RIP Doc, my friend. "You cannot leave the magic" <3 :'(
