RIP Sir PTerry

Postby Vetinari » Thu Mar 12, 2015 2:03 pm

Sad news today, that Sir Terry Pratchett one of the true literary genuises has passed away. He'll be sorely missed, though I feel he'll be remembered through his remarkable creations for years to come.

The following says it all:

May he rest in peace. Discworld is a fun series to read.

A sad day for those left behind, but a well-lived life to celebrate.

I have been fan of his works since teen years, and even if I did know his altzheimer and struggles with it, somehow I thought Terry would still live on and on. :(

Everyone in my apartment was saddened by this. To honor his memory, we watched Color of Magic, a movie based on one of his books.

A brilliant mind, and a sad loss.

His books have been a part of my life for two decades. His skill with words and insight into humanity was amazing. Such a loss. He has added so much joy to my life and to the world.
