## Resource

Handyman Negri, the beloved guitar-playing neighbor from Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, passed away at 99, just before his 100th birthday. Before TV fame, he was a jazz guitarist who taught for decades at Pittsburgh and Duquesne universities, even launching Duquesne’s jazz guitar program. He started playing at age three with a ukulele, performed for legends like Fred and Gene Kelly, and brought his warm, musical presence to the show for 31 seasons — becoming an iconic part of its gentle, comforting spirit. His legacy lives on in the music he made and the joy he gave generations. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
