Mediocrity will never be known beside the name of these great men.

Sorry to see another great man go.:(

I'm very sad. I knew his health was deteriorating rapidly (he was 95 after all) but both he and Frank were my favorites of the 9 Old Men. Their work was so wonderful, their spirit and companionship amazing and ther personalities endearing. We got to see them both at a screening at LACMA a few years back and I was completely star struck. I am fortunate to have a few items I purchased from the estate sale last year. His office chair is my "art chair". I always hope the power of Ollie will seep through to me.

RIP Ollie. You and the boys create something wonderful for us all in the afterlife, ok?

I, too, am so sad to hear of his passing.

He was the special guest at a screening of Cinderella I was so glad to have attended - he'd always been my favorite. Despite the difficulty he had talking, Andreas Deja was able to discuss the film with him, and he expressed with such passion that to properly animate (even when animating an "ugly" stepsister) you had to feel the emotions of the characters. I may not be an animator, but his passion had a great effect on me as a writer.

I, too, am so glad that I took time that hectic morning two weeks before the wedding to attend the estate. His xeroxed storyboard mock-up sits in my living room - I think it's time that we framed it and found the perfect place to pay tribute to his brilliance.

It's never easy, even when you know it's comming. RIP Ollie.

The world is more colorfull place because of him and the rest of the Nine Old Men.
