Disneys' Timely Deaths

Recently on Facebook I saw a cartoon of a man on a block of ice.  A man standing with his young children complaining about "this wasn't what I had in mind,  when I bought tickets to see Disney on Ice."

Of course the joke was referring to the long lived rumor that Disney did not really die, he is frozen until they find a cure of whatever he was  about to die of.

Now, having said that today's date in history, December, 15, 1966, Walk Disney died.

Now, get this:

On this same date in history, December 15, 1997, Lillian Disney, Walt's wife, died.
