I was born in 1979....So most of my FONDEST childhood memories are due to Jim Henson and ALL of his many characters he created!!! Of course there's The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, Fraggle Rock, The Muppets, Sesame Street etc (just to name a few)....HE was such an INCREDIBLY BRILLIANT and EXTREMELY TALENTED man and many that knew him personally said he was such a kind-hearted person!!! We lost him WAY TO SOON!!! **RIP JIM HENSON!! 🙏💜😢💕🙏

Interesting fact - Jim Henson passed away on May 16 1990, the same day Sammy Davis Jr died. Two Entertainment Legends gone, very sad.

I was devastated when Jim Henson died. I was young and he was something of a hero of mine.

His death really pisses me off. One of his close family members said he didn’t go to the hospital sooner bc, “He didn’t want to be a bother”. He was my bro. Sorry to anyone who reads this and thinks I’m an Asshat. Jim Henson was my favorite ever since I was 4, and recovering from a broken arm, and broken Jaw.(life long chronic pain). Dad moved the TV and I watched The Great Muppet Caper, with him on my ‘hospital style’ bed. I fell in love.With Jim Henson.

We had a very good friend who passed away from the same type of pneumonia as Jim Henson had. He was on a ski weekend in ME and started having cold systems. He kept getting worse over the next few days and was taken to a Boston hospital, where the doctors tried everything, including surgery, to help him recover.

Jim Henson was like Walt Disney in a way.

This is heartbreaking! Those last few days sound awful. Can't believe he waited so long to see a doctor. The Muppet tributes at the funeral sound beautiful though - a perfect way to send him off. Henson's legacy will definitely live on!

The character of Summer would have pleased Jim since she liked to be creativive like he was.

That's why I'm dealing with my chronic abdominal pain in silence I don't want to be a bother to anyone if something is wrong with me

Jim was an absolutely Genius also he would have loved the films son Brian directed and the movie Jason Segal helped write and starred in also its sequel and he would have definately loved Disney Jr.'s Muppet Babies reboot and the character of Summer Penguin.

I bet he would have still been with us had he been more aware of his illness and sought medical treatment in time

Jim's first reaction to Summer would have likely been: "Neat, a new female character, use her!"....he would have also admired and appreciated Jessica DiCicco's performance.
