Thats how I want to remember him.

He was a jewel. Nice man and visionary artist. - Enophile 12:02:09 04/18/08 (0)
All we can do now is celebrate his great 95 year life!

I collect animation cells, and some of my favorites are from movies in which he played an integral part.

He was of that era of handcrafting that I'm a little sorry to see pass, as well.
Does anybody here remember seeing the documentary "Frank and Ollie"? - C.B. 11:22:09 04/18/08 (2)
Back in the '90s, I think it was.
