Sad News--Roy Disney has died

[SusanEllen]

Roy E. Disney, on of Roy O. Disney and nephew of Walt, has died. For years he was head of the Disney Animation Department. Among his many contributions to the Company was cofounding the Save Disney project. He had an eerie resemblance to his Uncle Walt so managed to literally put a family face on the business. I always admired him, thinking he handled with grace the burden of living and working in the shadow of the incredible generation that came before him. Hope there will be a bronze of him at the Animation building in Burbank--one we can see from the street.
