Earlier this week, we learned of the passing of Bob McGrath, one of the original Sesame Street cast members. Bob joined the series in the very first season in the year 1969 & worked on the show all the way up to the early 2000′s.
So many tributes have poured in on social media, not just from people who grew up watching Bob on Sesame Street, BUT tributes also from some of his castmates, including Big Bird, Oscar the Grouch, and Cookie Monster. Bob McGrath was 90 years old.
