Jerry Nelson

I have enjoyed sesame street as a child for years and have enjoyed Mr. Jerry Nelson's Fraggle rock. May the family find comfort in the God of all comfort during this time.

What an amazing man. I shed a tear when I learned of his passing. We will truly miss him for all that he has done. You cannot leave the magic. Briana Stream Lifelong Fraggles & Muppet Fan

Our paths crossed at Shepperton to create a little magic. The warmth, friendship, and generosity you showed me will forever permeate our festive manifestation. My thoughts are with Jan and your family. RIP Jerry.

To Jerry Nelson.
You did an amazing playing the Count on Seasame Street. I used to watch you play those muppets on Seasame Street when I was a little girl and you just great. Lisa Weiner

That was one of the voices that I grew up with, teaching me letters, numbers, and to believe in myself and the value of others. Rest in peace.

In memory of Jerry Nelson, Watched Sesame Street while studying education (majored in Math) in the early 70's. Never really thought much about who the Count was at the time. My grandson LOVES the Count. Was saddened when I heard of Jerry's passing. Jerry made many children happy with his characters. A Grandmother in Radville, Saskatchewan

May it bring Jerry's family some comfort knowing that The Count is loved by a little boy in Canada, so much that he sleeps with five counts (three figurines and two stuffed) every night. We have a hard time leaving the house without at least one count. Logan had his 2nd birthday Aug. 23, 2012. With a count theme. Everything in his world is "the count". Jerry's voice is heard everyday on DVD in this house. Every time he is on, Logan screams and dances "Mom, Mom the Count, mom look the count".
Thank you Jerry for entertaining my son. I don't know how I would get anything done with out you. RIP.
Although he is too young to understand Jerry's passing, he will never forget The Count.
I LOVE YOU COUNT - Logan Ady, Age 2

May the God of comfort and peace be with Jerry dear family.

I will miss you. My children and so will my grandchildren.
