Thank you Mr Henson for all you gave us. I too am a puppet creator and lived my childhood hoping one day I could work for you. I have developed my own form of puppet creations and hope some day I too will make millions and millions of people on this planet smile and show the love you gave us.

seame street made me who i am loved the muppets
You were and still are one of my inspirations, every year on my birthday I have a marathon of your movies since you and I shared the same birthday. Also in tribute to you I have a Kermit the Frog tattoo on my right calf. You will always be my hero and no one will ever forget you.
First, I just would like to say I really…didn’t know you well enough to be all kinds of sad when you passed. That is because it was before I was born after your time. May you, and your creative ideas, live on forever. Long live Jim Henson, and long live the Muppets!!
Thank you for not only entertaining me in my youth, mainly because of Labyrinth and Dark Crystal. Without people like you,I would not be where I am in the film industry Today. Thank you for lighting the spark and making me dream from an early age.
