I am so sorry to hear this. I had been thinking of him just this week. He was a true Disney legend.

Mal,

Thanks for the list of his grand characters. I knew he was instrumental in Lady and the Tramp, but i did not know he created my all-time favorite character--Jock. He has left the world a legacy.
