Ollie, you were so much a part of my life as a child. Both in your movies as well as riding on your trains at your ranch in the mountains. I still remember riding on the E.Marie! I also remember watching you drawing Sir Hiss and many other Characters from your Wonderful Disney Productions. You and Frank Thomas encouraged me to draw and create. While I did not go into animation as a career, I will always remember the "Uncles" that treated me to a great childhood filled with adventure and...

i loved your books since a little girl i read everysingal one i loved the pictures and drawings, they enspiered me too draw thank you for your lovely memories...

A "legacy" is something of a permanent nature left behind for those who follow.......I am deeply moved by all of us, across the U.S. and worldwide that were touched by Ollie's work.........eternal rest grant unto him O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.....may he rest in peace.

I grew up with your movies and they are classic after their time. you will live on in them and in the generations of kids who will treasure your films.
