I hope that in this great loss we the fans can come together in hopes of picking up the torch and continuing to insure that the Disney we all love is kept intact. We have lost our lion, a friend, and a hero this day. Roy give a big hug to your Dad and Uncle Walt for me and tell them thanks for giving me such a great escape.

I think it is safe to say that, without Roy, the company is not what it is today. Walt had the dreams but Roy found a way to pay for them and kept his brother in check...no small victory.

He could often times be found sitting on a bench on the deck of city hall because it was a quite place above the hustle and bustle were he could enjoy watching the joy in people that he helped create.
