Disney Designer Ralph Kent Passed Away

[ScottakaMickey]

Don't know if anyone saw that Ralph Kent passed away this weekend. He was the first Disney artist to create a limited edition watch. He designed a lot of other Disney items, and there are even a few pins out there that he designed back in the earlier days of pin trading.

I did have the pleasure of meeting him a couple of times and he was a great person and truly a fan of Disney and a love for what we did.

Scott, do you know which watch he designed?

Several years ago, at one of our October Unconventions, we had lunch with him. What a fascinating life he led. He will be missed.

Cyn,

Not sure which one it is, but it was a Mickey Mouse watch. Yes, he will be missed.
