Former Walt Disney Attractions chairman Dick Nunis has died aged 91.
Joining Disney in 1955, Nunis was instrumental in guiding the growth of Disney’s outdoor entertainment enterprise from a single park into a global theme park and resort operation. Among his many achievements, he worked on ‘Project X’, which would eventually become the Disney World Resort.
“We mourn the passing of Dick Nunis, a true Disney Legend whose contributions to The Walt Disney Company have touched the lives of millions of people all over the world,” said Bob Iger, Disney CEO.
“What started as a summer job training future Disneyland employees would ultimately become a storied 44-year career at Disney. Dick took the values and philosophies he learned directly from Walt and incorporated them into everything he did at Disney. We are grateful for his many achievements and we extend our deepest sympathies to his family and loved ones.”
