Beat me to it. One of the worlds great bearded hat wearers. I'm looking forward to introducing my kids to his books in a couple of years, it's a shame there will be no more.

[Nativewood]

A very funny, highly intelligent man who showed what great character he had throughout his fight against alzheimers. I've read only a handful of his works but enjoyed them all immensely.

RIP Sir Terry.

Terry : "Oh, I see. It's time is it?" Death : "YES. I'M AFRAID SO" Terry : "You're shorter than I wrote you" Death : "SHORTNESS IS JUST A PERCEPTION CAUSED BY THE ETHEREAL EFFECT OF THIS CROSSOVER PLANE. IN FACT I AM NEITHER SHORT NOR TALL. I AM JUST HERE. OR THERE. I GET MIXED UP SOMETIMES" Terry : "You talk a terrible load of drivel" Death : " WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME? YOU WROTE ME" Terry : "Lead the way, my firend" Death : "CERTAINLY. BUT FIRST, FANCY A CURRY?"

I am saddened to realise that on my bookshelf I now have the complete works of PTerry. And that I shall never again drink beer with him through to breakfast time at a convention.

Rest ye well on Dunmanifestin Sir Terry.

Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it's not one half so bad as a lot of ignorance.

Ah RIP Sir Terry, but may the works and words live on.

It was a pleasure reading (and re-reading, like visiting an old friend) every book he wrote, and thoroughly enjoyed them all. What a legacy it'd be if we managed to solve and cure Alzeheimers though.

Sincerest condonences to his family and friends.

I'm terribly sad he is gone, but glad he did not linger in the manner of others with that horrible disease.

 

[Kerne]

Very sad. Loved the books and big respect to the man for living with his condition so publicly.
