Jerry Juhl
Jerry Juhl Day is September 25, the anniversary of Jerry Juhl's passing in 2005. Fans on the Tough Pigs message board, inspired by his wife's sentiments, have decided that this should be a day to do silly things rather than mourn Jerry's death.
After Juhl's passing, Ken Plume wrote a tribute article for IGN Film Force. When he told Susan Juhl that he would be writing the piece, "she had only one request – make it silly."[1]
Susan Juhl's wishes for silliness for her husband's legacy were observed at Jerry's memorial where funny nose glasses were provided for attendees.[2]
Jerry Juhl Day is somewhat like a Silly Creature equivalent to the Fraggles' Joke Day.
Notes
News of Juhl's death was announced by Brian Henson on the evening of September 26 during an event unveiling U.S. postage stamps honoring Jim Henson and the Muppets. The news was subsequently posted to message boards on Muppet Central[3] and Tough Pigs.[4]
The date of death was reported as the same day as the event, but was later corrected to September 25 by the deceased's wife, Susan Juhl in an email to Bonnie Erickson.[5] Juhl's obituary submitted to the local newspapers erroneously reported his death as September 27.[2][6]
The day of recognition was originally proposed in the days following his death, but since that time it has made the most sense to remember it on the actual anniversary of when he died.[7]
