A belated RiP

because attention must be paid to the passing of quiet voices of laughter and love, as well.



Jerry Juhl, whose Emmy Award-winning writing gave life to Jim Henson's whimsically irreverent Muppets on television and film, died on Sept. 27 at a hospital in San Francisco. He was 67 and made his home in Caspar, Calif.

The cause of death was complications from pancreatic cancer, diagnosed five weeks earlier, said his wife, Susan Doerr Juhl.

Mr. Juhl was the head writer for Muppets programs including "The Muppet Show" on television and, in some capacity, all the Muppet films, from the first "Muppet Movie" in 1979 to "Muppets From Space" in 1999.
