He also did the voice for Oscar the Grouch, so…
He also kicked the bucket. 
I’m sad, but I also had him on my list.
Thank you, Mr. Spinney, both for Oscar the Grouch and for making sure 2019 was not a pointless year for me.

I had literally just added Caroll Spinney to my 2020 list yesterday. D’oh!
But what a legend he was.
Rene Auberjonois, “Star Trek” and “Boston Legal” actor, dies at 79 - I remember him from the 1976 version of “King Kong”
Yikes, he was also in the movie MASH as Father Mulcahy. And is on my themed list, which is surviving MASH actors.
Rapper Juice WRLD, 21 years old.
Producer Lisa de Cazotte, 58.
Paul Volcker is no longer economizing.
Peter Frates, of Ice Bucket Challenge fame, dead at 34…late-in-the-year points!
Glad to see that neither Registered At Last nor GIGObuster had him! 
Thanks for fixing those links, Chronos. I hate trying to update from my phone. I should know better.
It must have been cancer, but it’s over now: Roxette singer Marie Fredriksson
That’s so sad.
But on the other hand, I get 39 points!!!
Lots of Star Trek connected people dying recently:
D.C. Fontana, writer and story editor
George Laurer has been scanned into the afterlife.
I follow Marina Sirtis on twitter and she posted just a few days ago that her husband, Michael Lamper, passed away in his sleep. He apparently was a musician and actor and once played a bit part in a ST:TNG episode.
Alright, buddy, I’m giving you The Look right now for that tasteless joke.
Dammit. I was wondering who the third person in the Trifecta of Famous People I Really Liked was going to be.
(For the record, the other two were Carroll Spinney and Rene Auberjonois.)
From CNN: Philip McKeon, a former child actor best known for his role on the CBS sitcom “Alice,” has died, according to a family spokesman. He was 55.
