I went and wrote up an entry over on my Wordpress about what Jerry’s passing means to me personally. It’s pretty lengthy and I tend to ramble a lot in it, so I won’t go posting the entire thing on here, but here’s a snippet:

I’m sure every fan and friend of Jerry is thinking the same thing today: what did Jerry mean to me? Mortality tends to do that to us. It makes us think on all that the person did for us and the rest of the world. And Jerry did so much. He taught us to count. He taught us that halfway down the stairs is a great place to sit, and that being little isn’t such a bad thing (which is good to know, as I am a pretty short person). He taught us that silly things like boomerang fish can be art, that chickens can be beautiful, and that theatre phantoms aren’t always so scary. He taught us that adventures are worth going on, and what some people consider to be trash can be the most important thing on this planet for other. He even taught us that sometimes you just get bad service at restaurants and it can’t be helped (curse you, Grover!).

You can read the whole thing here.
