Hello there, people:

As you've probably heard, that just over the weekend, Bob McGrath, the actor who played Bob on Sesame Street for the first 45 years since its debut, has passed away.  He died from complications after a stroke.  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!

Bob McGrath and his character Bob were another great part of Sesame Street.  And now, the world has lost another legend.  And Sesame Street has lost another 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.
