Very sad. Does Disney do anything, or hold a memorial?

I think Walt greeted his old friend and took him out to the lawn to show Ollie the train layout that God has running :)

Disney Studios will have a memorial tribute of his life - so states the article. If Ollie Johnston doesn't have a window on Main Street he will be honored with one soon.
