I wished I heard of his work sooner rather than later. His stories are unique in a wonderful way. Something that cannot be copied by others.

Why do I see this now, months later? It rips off my heart again... Wow, that picture with that view of them walking away might be the best tribute to this great man that I have seen.
I'm grateful that he gave his stories to the world - and I'm grateful to people like you who can draw (which I can't) and use this to give a wonderful goodbye to him.

Thank you very much for your kind words, it really means a lot to me. I'm very glad that someone appreciates my tribute so much. It's people like you, who help to give these tributes and art in general a purpose.

This is... just perfect... Thank you Tyngel for making this so simple and so apt.
I'd never 'connected' with an author before Pterry, and I fear I never will again...

"I would like my pudding now nurse. And then I think I'd like to... write... something... I don't remember what."
Standing in the corner, he waits. The sand slowly flows, but it nears it's end. The old man still glows, as thousands of threads spread away from him.
SQUEAK.
I AGREE. IT IS A SHAME TO SEE HIM THIS WAY.
SQUEAK.
NO. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN.... BUT I CANNOT WAIT TO ASK HIM HOW IT ALL ENDS.
The old man looks up, through them at first... and then he sees them. For once, the smile on the hooded figure's skull is genuine.
"I... I remember you. The anth... ant..."
ANTHROPOMORPHIC PERSONIFICATION.
"Yes, that. We knew each other?"
ONCE. AND WILL AGAIN, SIR.
He so rarely said it, and these feelings... remembering his young aprentice, and beloved daughter. The beautiful child they have.
"There... is a girl, yes?"
SHE IS SPEAKING TO THE AUDITORS, SIR. THEY ARE UNWILLING TO LISTEN.
"Well then. You know what they say, two things you cannot avoid. Taxes and..." He looks into the firey blue eyes, and becomes aware.
SQUEAK.
"Quite right. Is it time already? I have so much left to do."
YOU HAVE GIVEN ALL YOU CAN SIR.
"No, not cancer. Alzheimers."
I AM AWARE.
"So, where is the boy? I remember a boy."
CARRIAGE ACCIDENT.
"Ahh. Never much trusted cars. Or horses."
THEY GET YOU WHERE YOU WANT TO GO.
"Must I?"
SOON. BUT WE MAY SIT HERE AWHILE.
SQUEAK
DO YOU HAVE ANY BISCUITS?
"No. Shame really."
YES.
"Is it truely turtles?"
ALL THE WAY DOWN. I HAVE SEEN THEM.
"Ahh. I would love to see it. Perhaps a small trip before?"
IT WOULD BE MY PLEASURE.
"The light is slower there... and there's a monkey...."
ORANGUTAN. SAME PRINCIPLE.
"Yes... will they remember me?"
SQUEAK.
"What was that? I could not hear you."
HE SAYS WE WILL, SIR.
"I never much liked the trouble people had with you. You seem like a nice fellow."
I HAVE MY DAYS.
"Don't we all?"
SOME LESS THAN OTHERS.
"Is it quick?"
YES. AND I BROUGHT THE SWORD. CEREMONY DICTATES IT.
"Ahh. How about a cup of tea?"
I WOULD ENJOY IT. DO YOU PLAY CHESS?
"No. how about checkers?"
And so they sat, two old friends regaling each other, though the old man could not remember all of the details, the cloaked man and his rat filled him in, when it was needed. " - by Nick Mogavero on Facebook

There's a little less magic left in the world today. Safe travels, Sir Terry. See you out there.
We keep losing the ones we can't afford to lose. Thank you for this tribute.

I hope you don't mind, but I used your piece (full credits, copyright, and link back to this page included) in my memorial notice on my facebook page. It seemed... appropriate that an image such as this be included. I'll include a link to my page/post if you ask.

I don't mind at all, it's an honor for me and I thank you for it. Yes, I would like to see it, please.

No, thank you. I should have asked for permission first, but I honestly felt this post needed to be said as soon as possible.

I'm glad that I can share the loss with you and others. It's one of the "ripples" sir Terry left behind. A sad and inevitable one for sure, but still.
