Sympathy to his Family & Friends.

Re: Terry Pratchett

So sad we have lost a very talented writer today and a chap who's storys I love to read, I have most of his collection. It all started when I first bought his Three Witches I will never forget his humour and will make sure my grand children will read his story's, like me I am sure they will love him.

So The Reaper Man has finally arrived farewell my friend you will be missed by many..

Lovely post - echo your thoughts .......

Re: Terry Pratchett

I was (still am) very upset by the loss of Terry. I am a massive fan of his Discworld books and his passing is a massive loss. As well as having a great imagination, he had an enormous impact of many things outside of literature and was always keen to watch his documentaries and programmes he made over the years. I was deeply upset when I learned of his dementia, but I applauded his efforts to bring the subject to open discussion and debate - something which was generally held as taboo.

I for one, am going to miss the adventures of Commander Vimes et al.

If.I say if-it turns out he took his own life then good for you I say
