He had retired last year at the age of 84.
Spinney had portrayed the Characters - including providing their Voices - since The Show 's start in 1969.
"Caroll was an artistic genius whose kind and loving view of The World helped shape and define Sesame Street from its earliest days in 1969 through five decades, and his legacy here at Sesame Workshop and in the cultural firmament will be unending," The Statement said.
He had previously spoken of The Show 's importance to his life.
"Before I came to Sesame Street , I didn't feel like what I was doing was important," he said. "Big Bird helped me Find My purpose. "
Spinney developed A Love for puppetry at the age of five after watching a performance of Three Little Kittens.
He explored puppeteering throughout his childhood and teenage years and used his performances to raise money for college tuition.
After serving in the US Air Force , Spinney performed as a professional puppeteer in Las Vegas and Boston in the 1950s and 1960s, eventually meeting Muppets creator Jim Henson , who also starred in Sesame Street .
Spinney later joined the cast for The Show 's inaugural series in 1969.
