Roy E. Disney, son of Disney Studios co-founder Roy O., and the nephew of Walt, has died at the age of 79.Roy E. was involved with the Walt Disney Company for more than 56 years and was vice chairman of the BoD from 1984-2003, and chairman of the Studios' animation department. More recently, Roy E. served as director emeritus and consultant for the Company.
Disneyphiles (Disney lovers) may remember Roy E. as the man who 'took on' Michael Eisner in 2003-05, when many were dissatisfied with Eisner's job performance as head of Disney.
Requiescat in Pace, Roy
