Hello there, people:

As you've probably heard, that just yesterday, Emilio Delgado, the actor who played Luis on Sesame Street for 45 years, has passed away.  He died after being diagnosed with blood cancer since back then in December of 2020.  When I heard about this news, I was shocked!  I did not expect him to die like this!  When I first saw it on the internet, I didn't want to believe it at first.  And then, I had to do my research about it to see if it was true or not.  And unfortunately, it is true.  This particular death just came to me as a sudden impact!

Emilio Delgado and his character Luis were a great part of Sesame Street.  And now, the world has lost a legend.  And Sesame Street has lost an important member of their family.  I just wish that he never died, but unfortunately, he just did!  He and his character will never be forgotten.  My sincere thoughts and condolences go out to his family, to his friends, to his fans, and to the cast and crew of Sesame Street and Sesame Workshop.  He will be sorely and terribly missed.  And it's an enormous loss, too.
