That’s sad. Roy was as good a spokesperson for the Disney brand as Walt ever was. He’ll be missed.

RIP. i remember seeing him in a few interviews for pixar or something like that. my thoughts go out to his family.
that is so sad
Rest In Peace!
Rest in peace Mr.Disney, thanks for all the memories.
I am bit shocked that is all you have to say about Roy Disney. I saw another article in the Chicago Tribune that explained his amazing efforts that revamped the animation division at Disney. All you have is two sentences. Really?
