Spinney only retired the puppeteering part of Big Bird in 2015, and keep doing the voice until last year.
I've always believed the primary reason us old schoolers are so aggressively anti-Elmo is that the role that Elmo is designed to play already existed on the show in Big Bird. And it was Spinney who made that magic happen. I'm literally in tears as I write this. Stupid television.
