Roy E. Disney, RIP
Walt Disney's nephew, Roy E. Disney, who was the last member of the Disney family to work for the company and the man who revitalized Disney's animation efforts 20 years ago, has died in Newport Beach at the age of 79 from stomach cancer. Roy Disney served as the conscience of the entertainment giant in his well-publicized battles with then-CEO Michael Eisner. If Disney survives as a family-friendly entertainment company, it will be thanks to Roy Disney's influence.
Requiem aeternam dona ei, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat ei. Requiescat in pace. Amen. (Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. Rest in peace. Amen.)
