I grew up on Disney. My parents took me to Disneyland when I was only 6 months old. I worked as an apprentice for a summer and loved every minute. I have always wanted to work at Disney in the animation dept. Mr Roy Disney, not only did you inspire artists, you inspired a nation. You will be missed.
he carried on the wrok of his brother—– he did it well. Disney is a true escape for ypung and old alike. You have left a legacy.
Roy you were an inspiration, you got rid of that greedy sob eisner.You will be missed.
It’s hard to think of the name Disney, and not have a smile come to your face, you have touched so many, as did Walt. Thank you for the many years of happy memories, movies and moments!
You were a very good man i love disney…….your the best!
I have only recently seen this, and it breaks my heart. I was brought up with Disney, and i have been to both Disneyland’s, the one in Florida, and the one in France.
What a sad loss, a great man, but his magic will live in my heart forever.
Roy youre father and youre uncle walt will take care of you in heaven as i heard many times no good deed goes unpunished you are now in peace

I met Roy at Buena Vista Studios in Burbank at his office. Barbara his assistant was so kind.
We had an mutual investment in Esprit Racing Yachts in San Diego. I have met Presidents and been to the White House but was never more impressed with anyone, he was kind and looked just like Walt. Really I was in awe. We lunched in the commissary and it was like a dream for a man who grew up looking forward to the “E” ticket God bless you Roy. And if any Disney family reads this please feel free to contact me.
Allthough you have left us your magic will remain with us untill we go to
you have left us it feels like a family member has died we will forever remain your loyal disney lovers no matter what!
