I almost posted this in the Tribute to Jim Henson thread, but I felt Nelson deserved one of his own. I mean, he was a muppeteer for 47 years! And among his characters were the Count Von Count! And Kermit's nephew Robin, who I always found especially endearing.

Wherever he is now, I hope he finds as much joy as he brought to billions of people. R.I.P.

May he rest in peace.
