It is a sad day in the World of Disney as one of the most influential members of the Disney family, Roy E. Disney, passed away today after a long battle with stomach cancer at the age of 79. Roy was the nephew of Walt Disney and played in an active role in the Disney corporation. He leaves behind his wife, Leslie DeMeuse.
May he rest in peace knowing how big of an impact he made throughout his life.
