I did already post this in the Disney History section: Just heard from a friend that Wayne Allwine, the voice of Mickey Mouse, passed away yesterday at the age of 62 from complications of diabetes. Not much in the news yet but Wikipdeia has updated their listing with the information of his passing. What joy Wayne and his wife Russi, the voice of Minnie Mouse, have brought to children of all ages.
