Argentina’s Diego Lerner, a guiding force for The Walt Disney Company’s roll out in Latin America and Europe from 1990 to this year, died Dec. 18 in Buenos Aires at the age of 71 after a long illness.

A private funeral was held for Lerner on Friday attended by close creatives such as Mariano Cohn and Gastón Duprat, creator of “The Boss.”
