The sad fact that these two individuals passed within one day of each other makes the connection that they had to both each other and Disneyland history all the more poignant.
I left the following at the Wally Boag Facebook fan page:
I had the distinct pleasure of enjoying both Wally and Betty on visits to Disneyland when my parents and I lived in California many moons ago. Later I learned more of the wonderful comic legacy of Wally and the cherished place he will always have in Disneyland history and the minds of those of us fortunate enough to have experienced the Golden Horseshoe Revue. One cannot help but think that there was a good reason that Wally and Betty passed within a day, maybe to bring proper performances of the Revue to Heaven for the angels to enjoy.
D23, the official Disney fan club, had nice tributes to both Wally and Betty. My condolences to their families with the hope that the joy that they both brought to so many will be of some small comfort to them.
