The Reitherman Legacy

The Reitherman family lived in Burbank and I remember the boys from Miller Elementary School. Wolfgang 'Woolie' (1909-1985) and Janie (1924-2007) Reitherman had three sons, all who graduated from Burbank High: Richard class of 1965, Robert class of 1968 and Bruce class of 1973. Their father, Woolie, was a major animator at Disney. His work is amazing! Below is a great video of Woolie explaining his work. Then photos of the three sons along with Richard's wife, Nancy Prater Reitherman, also BHS '65 who sadly passed away in 2017. Finally, the obituary of Mrs. Janie Reitherman.
