Terrible news!
John is in his 90s, so you expect it sooner or later, but I sure hope for the best.

I will say a little prayer for John...

This is awful news! I just got his book for Christmas and have been avidly reading it... beautiful work he's done! Very easily one of Disney's finest. My prayers are with him.

I also got His book last week, wounderful drawings and insight about Disney and working with Walt Disney. When ever I'm at WDW ,I like to go thru the castle and see his picture (or likeness) in the cinderella mural .

This really sucks, I need to read his book. He designed so much of our favorite attractions. I hope he gets well soon.

Sad news; this was sent out by Marty Sklar today:

"I regret to inform you that our friend and mentor, the true Imagineer, John Hench passed away of heart failure during the night.

He is survived by his wife, Lowry."
