From Wired News:

Passage: Bob Keeshan, 76
Bob Keeshan, known to generations of children as the kindly, mustachioed Captain Kangaroo, died Friday in Vermont following a long illness. Captain Kangaroo premiered on CBS in 1955 and ran for 30 years before moving to public television for six more. The show, which debuted on Oct. 3, 1955, won six Emmy awards, three Gabriels and three Peabody awards. Following his retirement in 1993, Keeshan remained a tireless advocate for children's issues.

Truly a sorry day for the boomers. <Moment of silence>
