The singer-sausage king died yesterday, at the age of 81. Supermarket shoppers might remember him best for his eponymous line of sausage patties, bacon, and breakfast sausage (originally called "pure pork sausage"), for which he did many hammy commercials.

And, of course, his show gave the Muppets their first exposure (Rowlf, in particular). Sadly, Miss Piggy wasn't created until later...

RIP, Jimmy. Thanks for providing one of the top comfort foods of my childhood.
