It's a sad day for Disney Music lovers.

Below is my facebook post for this morning:

A truly talented man, that will be missed dearly.

Hello to family and friends,

I have very sad news to convey.

My Dad, Robert B. Sherman, passed away tonight in London. He went peacefully after months of truly valiantly fending off death. He loved life and his dear heart finally slowed to a stop when he could fight no more.

I will write more about this incredible man I love and admire so much when I am better rested and composed. He deserves that.

In the meantime, please say a prayer for him. As he said, he wanted to bring happiness to the world and, unquestionably, he succeeded. His love and his prayers, his philosophy and his poetry will live on forever. Forever his songs and his genius will bring hope, joy and love to this small, small world.

I love you, Dad.

Safe travels.

Love,

Jeff Sherman

Thank you for sharing the unfortunate news...I almost feel as if the theme park attractions that use his music should have a silent minute in his honor.

I think that would be a fitting tribute, Justin.
