I was very saddened to hear this news.
Enjoyed reading the piece Mr Mouse about his life and work.
May you rest in peace and look down with the angels at all the happiness Disney brings to so many.
Quite literally the last od a fine line. he will be sadly missed
I have just been Reading the early chapters of James B. Stewart’s Disney War and Roy features heavily as you might expect.
It paints a picture of Roy from a young boy playing on his uncles 1/8 scale rail road with Nancy Sinatra. Taking his story through his years in the company and describing him as a quiet, reserved, honourable man, much beloved of his colleges in the animation building who referred to him affectionately as the Shepherd.
Reading these chapters just after his passing was a little emotional.
