It's been 17 years now...

Rest in peace, Richard, and many thanks for all the Muppet-related laughs and giggles you gave (and still give) to fans all over the world.

What can I say? (bows head in respectful manner of appreciation to Richard's memory)
Thank you for the great Muppeteer you were Richard. We will always remember you when we watch your characters entertain us again and again.
RIP forever more. :cry:

Remembering you today, Richard, and grateful we still have so many opportunities to enjoy your work with the Muppets. :wink:

I'm reminded of a poem I once read in a magazine that reminded me of him and the legacy I think he left behind:

"Now that I am gone,
remember me with smiles and laughter.
And if you need to cry,
cry with your brother or sister
who walks in grief beside you.
And when you need me,
put your arms around anyone
and give to them what you need to give to me.
There are so many who need so much.
I want to leave you something --
something much better than words or sounds.
Look for me in the people I've known
or helped in some special way.
Let me live in your heart
as well as in your mind.
You can love me most
by letting your love reach out to our loved ones,
by embracing them and living in their love.
Love does not die, people do.
So, when all that's left of me is love,
give me away as best you can."

Don't forget to get out his Find a Grave page and if you'd like, my Blog entry, hehe.

Few people continue to to bring joy and laughter to the lives of others 17 years after their passing, but I can't help but to get a smile on my face every time I watch any of the antics of his characters when I watch the Muppet Show or Fraggle Rock. Thanks, Richard, and rest in peace.

RIP, Richard. A good Muppeter, and a funny person. Or is it a good person, and a funny Muppeter? I'll just say its both.
