Yeah, it made me sad as well. Roy was the one who made Disney into what we all remember basically. Those who grew up in the 80s and 90s.

He will be missed so much. I want to thank him for keeping the magic alive. He stood up for Disney against Eisner and other's and fought to continue the
original concepts that were and are all aspects Disney, especially Disney animation, that his father, Roy, and uncle Walt founded and believed in. I hope
there is someone waiting in the wings who will continue on with such belief and dedication.
Thank you Roy!

It's because of Roy that Disney didn't completely tank and get swallowed by some other company and completely lose it's identity a long time ago.

It's awful those bastards basically pushed him out of the company. Sad news.
