As many of you would know one of our best regular posters Toots Hibbert was diagnosed with cancer 2 1/2 years ago. At the time he was told it was incurable and was treated with chemotherapy ever since to hold it at bay.

About six weeks ago Toots had to be hospitalised as a result of the effects of chemotherapy which his body could not tolerate anymore.

Treatment has stopped and his care has been transferred to a palliative care team. Toots's intention is to spend his remaining months and weeks at home. There's still plenty to enjoy, family, friends, going out. He is not in pain and there are plenty of drugs to keep him pain free and mellow.

Toots wants everyone to know he has been able to lead a very full life, has been overseas twice with his wife and had a great time, done lots of gliding, hang gliding and started a microlight course recently. Plus enjoying lots of time with friends and family. He has also enjoyed doing volunteer work for Port.

I've been lucky enough to meet Toots a few times at games and training and he is a smart, funny, thoughtful, centred guy and generous to a fault.

This is terrible news and I'm not ashamed to say there are tears on my keyboard as I type this.

Be strong Toots you are a fine man.
 
If our players had hearts the size of yours Toots we would be in a much better way.

Stay strong Toots, you are the type of supporter this club has built its foundations on.

PAFC Forever.

I have had the fortune to meet Toots a number of times at the footy. And although I dont know him well, I found that he was the type of person who left a lasting impression on me as a lovely human being. I must admit to a lot of sadness due to his situation. If you read this Toots, hope you are comfortable and hope to see you at the footy.

Kind regards.
 
Toots,

Great poster & from all reports a great person, keep the good fight going.

Thoughts are with you & your family.

Regards,

CA
 
Lord help me
to remember
that nothing
is going to happen
to me today
that You and I
together can't handle.

Amen.


I can only pray for you Toots and tell you how you have brightened up my life online.

Toots, we had plenty of stoushes over the years in Bay 13 and can honestly say they were the most enjoyable days of Bay 13. It's an f'in tragedy that this insidious disease invades so many good people.

Best wishes to you and your loved ones and may you find a teal, black and white cushion to keep you comfortable. Cheers mate and I hope you find your peace and your family prospers.:thumbsu::thumbsu::(
 
Keep punching Tooters, from all at the guild of the teal cummerbund.
 
Haven't met you Toots but feel hollow for the news as I have enjoyed your postings over the years. Best of luck to you and your family mate.
 
Just devastated mate. Absolutely lost for words.

Dont think we have met Toots, but have more than enjoyed your postings.

Best of luck to you and your family mate, ****ed.

Stay strong my friend
 
One of bigfooty's finest. Like TSW I was gutted to learn of your illness, but happy that you continued living life and contributing to these boards. The gliding photos were inspiring. Keep up the fight toots you'll be my thoughts and prayers.
