Wayne Allwine, Voice of Mickey, dies over the weekend..:(

Disney3xJC

Wayne Allwine, the man that voiced Mickey Mouse, passed away over the weekend from complications due to diabetes. I was fortunate enough to meet Wayne and his lovely wife Russi Taylor(the voice of Minnie Mouse) on many occasions at Walt Disney World. All UABers have heard his voice on many tracks on this site, in the parks, in film and television over the last 32 years. He was named a Disney Legend in 2008. We luckily have his voice to cherish forever.
