RIP in 2009 - Page 80

I just read about Roy- very sad news.

One of my fellow vendors at the Larchmont mkt, the father of one of my store owners, and the brother of one of the guys who work for me all died last week. I'm officially worried.

Oral Roberts figured largely in my early teenage years. I recovered.

Roy Disney became a wonderful standard bearer for quality within the company that bears his family name. From some of the biographies I've read, he wasn't thought of too fondly by his uncle. I was impressed that he stepped up to the bat during the Eisner years.

Holy cr@p!

Thank you Roy for stepping in (or down) when needed!

Oh no, that is very sad news indeed.

Sad to see a true "end of era" with Disney. He fought for us and he fought for what the name Disney meant. I hope, in some cinamatic way, Walt greets him, shakes his hand and thanks him for all he did.

Oh crap no!

I got to meet Roy a couple of times, and the in-person resemblance to his uncle Walt was astonishing.

Sad news indeed.

Wow, sad to hear about Roy - I wonder who's left to protect the Disney brand, the end of an era indeed.

Very sad news. I had no idea he was ill. I really am disconnected from Disney these days.
