Many of us grew up with Bob McGrath. He was the friendly neighbor Music Teacher Bob Johnson on Sesame Street. He was one of the original cast members.
He worked on 47 seasons of Sesame Street. He helped us deal with the death of Mr Hooper. He taught us that there are many different people in our neighborhood.
Bob passed away at age 90. The cause of death was not released.
Here are tweets from both Big Bird and Kermit.
Thank you for always being my friend, Bob. I love you. ❤️ pic.twitter.com/vNpUYil0Ut

There was no one quite like my friend Bob McGrath. His infectious joy and remarkable voice could make every day sunnier. I’ll always remember the wonderful times we shared on Sesame Street. Let’s all sing a song for Bob today.

Here is where Bob taught us about all of the different types of people we might meet.
You meant the world to us, Bob. You taught us so much. Rest in Peace.
