LOS ANGELES – Roy E. Disney, the son and nephew of The Walt Disney Co. founders who twice led shareholder revolts that shook up the family business, died Wednesday. He was 79. The Walt Disney Co. announced that Disney died in Newport Beach, California, after a bout with stomach cancer. news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091216/ap_en_ot/us_obit_roy_disney_13

No! What a bummer... I always respected him. I thought it was so great and fitting when he did the introduction to Fantasia 2000.

Been trying to avoid this, as it has made me a little sad. This thread just makes it more real. It's the same feeling I felt on November 30, 2003 when I heard about his resignation. It's also sad timing considering Walt passed away on December 15, 1966. Still, I know that nobody can live forever, as much as we'd like them to.

I had heard of that while watching the awards. Also read the same thing on a Pirates Online Forum. Very sad to hear
