RIP, Toots. My sympathy and thoughts to his friends and those who knew him. I hate it when this stuff happens.

Mirrorz		2013-02-04 07:01:50 PM

Thank you for the update. He always seemed to have fun with the contests.

Rincewind53		2013-02-04 07:02:03 PM

It's always bad to lose someone. My thoughts go out to his family.

Toshiro Mifune's Letter Opener		2013-02-04 07:03:57 PM

I'm very sorry to hear that.

I send my sincerest condolences and best wishes to his family, friends, and anyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.

Salud, TdlF.

He sponsored me for TF last year and he regretted every minute of it.

Toots was a senior citizen and lived in a care facility somewhere in the US. He was noted for being of large heart, quick wit and he did this all on only one leg. Apparently he was always harassing his caregivers, and told us about it in PSAEF.His son happened to find the Fark Notification email in his Dads computer, and dropped in to tell us the news.He will be greatly missed by the photoshopping community here at Fark.Good bye Toots.

I remember his 'shops. Thanks for the laughs TdiF. Peace be with you and your loved ones.

R.I.P. Good sir. I enjoyed many of your photoshops over the years you were on fark.

Do we have a TFer Hall Of Fame yet?

Dumski		2013-02-04 07:25:19 PM

This was one of the first Photoshops that I saved of his, after he sponsored me. Initially I thought that the guy in the image was really him.
I came to understand I was wrong.

libranoelrose		2013-02-04 07:25:33 PM

This was one of his shoops from a contest 2 years ago.

Something tells me that sick and twisted Farker wanted to go out something like this...

RIP, Toots

Daaaaym! Now who am I going to send BIE to?

RIP, Toots - you were a noble creature.

A lot of his images are gone from the contest browser, and a lot of them never made it there because of the Fark updates.

I remember a contest, it might have been on the squirrel site, where he had a self portrait as an entry.

If anyone stumbles across it, please let me know.

E-Brake		2013-02-04 07:34:56 PM

Farewell Toots, R.I.P

doglover		2013-02-04 07:50:10 PM

And so it goes...

AdolfOliverPanties		2013-02-04 07:50:52 PM

Aw, that sucks. I remember seeing many many of his photoshops and wondering what the hell his username meant. Funny motherfarker.

RIP Toots!

AdolfOliverPanties		2013-02-04 07:52:22 PM

BunkyBrewman: Do we have a TFer Hall Of Fame yet?

Or at least a Fark Memorial page. There are so many already that could go there.

Dumski		2013-02-04 07:54:39 PM

Here is Toots page on Misfit Squirrels, as posted by bighairyguy in the PSAEF.
Thanks bhg!

Dumski		2013-02-04 08:02:12 PM

Oh, and thanks to the Moderators/Admin for making this thread a greenlit submission, that was not my intent in sharing this news, however I think that many non-TF members would appreciate knowing this. I don't think his son knows what he did by letting us know. If you highlight/bold Toots de la Footsjelly, the notification will go to his son, unless he has disabled Toot's email.

Toots.I hope you log on from the afterlife and view all this!

whyRpeoplesostupid		2013-02-04 08:03:33 PM

sigh

Winterlight		2013-02-04 08:09:25 PM

Damn.

AssAsInAssassin		2013-02-04 08:13:06 PM

Well, that sucks. Toots is one of the names I counted on seeing in Fark Photoshop contests.

Here's hoping Yammering Splat Vector and Abe Vigoda's Ghost stick around for a long time.

What happened? Injury? Illness?

shotglasss		2013-02-04 08:14:00 PM

A sad day indeed. I recognized the nic when I saw it and recall laughing at a number of his 'shops. RIP.

Indeed - I've never been a TFer but I always check out the PS contests and have greatly enjoyed Toots' work. Very sad.

UNAUTHORIZED FINGER		2013-02-04 08:14:37 PM

This calls for a PhotoShop contest. What is Toots de la Footsjelly doing right now?!?

/I enjoyed your photoshops

The Angry Hand of God		2013-02-04 08:15:22 PM

Sherman Potter		2013-02-04 08:20:59 PM

That's too bad. Just reading his handle made me smile.

Rindred		2013-02-04 08:21:09 PM

Toots was one of the Shoopin Greats. Rest well, ye master of the lasso tool.

Dumski		2013-02-04 08:21:55 PM

GIS for Toots and others Photoshop submissions. Thank you Google.

And Wholesale Ass, you better be just trolling. Leave your wholesale ass at the door.

Primitive Screwhead		2013-02-04 08:22:18 PM

I've been lurking here a lot longer than my current account indicates, and have enjoyed many of Toot's shoops over the years. Thanks for the many giggles Sir. My condolences to your family and friends.
