it's not directly a Disney story but the organization he founded worked very closely with Disney and all the theme park operators to enable the experiences this amazing place made available to their guests.

I got a chance to volunteer at GKTW during my CP, playing with the kids while the parents got a night out. What an amazing experience and an incredible organization. His legacy will certainly live on.

I have been a huge supporter of GKTW and always look forward to their annual Gingerbread Run. It is the one organization that I always recommend people consider supporting because of their purpose and philosophies. I'm sad to hear the news, but I completely agree with @Biff215 that his legacy will absolutely live on.
