NUTTY Dreamscape Acolyte Painter

Len Helding, "Tigerfeet" passed away last night . He was 58.

He was a wonderful person, fantastic friend and a brilliant man.

He will be greatly missed by me, and all of us.

He was Tigerfeet, he was Lord Hatha of Bagha, he was shop critter, he was Welcomer Tigerfeet and he was our crime fighting Sheriff, The Sheriff of Dreamscape.

He was a dedicated host many games. He brought joy and laughter to us all. He enjoyed the joy and laughter that we brought to him.

I already miss you Tig.

Good Bye Mr Feets,

Tigerfeet was a great friend and I shall miss him. I am also glad he received his office and new head before this happened. He was very proud of his position as Sheriff, and worked diligently in many ways to help DreamScape be a better place for us all. Knowing he has been welcomed in Heaven helps.

Re: Fly with angels Tigerfeet 

I'm at a loss for words to say how much TigerFeet will be missed among the Welcomers as well as the community at large. His passing leaves an empty hole among our close knit team, his kindness to all, his wit, and good humour will be remembered and we are all better for having known him. 

Rest in Peace dear TigerFeet you are sadly missed.

Re: Fly with angels Tigerfeet 


I am so sad...while I have no been iw long, I did know TigerFeet, maybe not well, but well enough to know he was kind, generous, loving, dedicated, and sweet. I shopped his stores, we chatted a few times, he taught me how to host Get A Clue, and he gave me my most treasured possesion, a very very old SK pixie, named...Pixie, there are only a few iw and he parted w/one of his, he only had 2 left he said, to give to me, free of charge, to complete my Sprite/Pixie collection. 

Dream well TigerFeet & Sheriff of Dreamscape...Dream well.

God Bless his family, his friends, and all who's lives he touched iw and rw 

Goodbye TigerFeet, we'll miss you.

Re: Fly with angels Tigerfeet 


I don't know how to respond, but will try anyway. 

Sly & I just learned now about this loss for our worlds, RL & Kymer.

Tigerfeet was a special guy, a true gent, and was very easy to chat with. He never let on to us that he was sick in any way, and we saw no indication it was so.

Whether visiting his stores, going to his games, or visiting him in Bar-L Bar as Sheriff as we have just learned, he was always upbeat. 

Sly had just made him a new Sheriff's badge, and he was very excited about it.

I mourn for the loss of a true friend, and kind soul. He will be sadly missed by everyone he met. 

God Bless Tigerfeet...Sheriff. 

You will be sadly missed.

Re: Fly with angels Tigerfeet 

I am very sadden to hear of the passing of TigerFeet. I attended his games often and he also attended mine. We were very good friends and often shared time together. His passing will leave a noticeable hole in our IW family. I will miss him personally very much.

Fair winds and a following sea, my friend.
May our God grant you now peace of mind and relief from your pains.
Farewell my friend until we meet again in that last port of call.

OMG This is so sad !! Fly with the angels indeed Tig.. 

I attended most of his games he hosted also, and he always was ready with big huggs and a total joy to chat with, very caring, an awesome quester and a very dedicated host!!

He was one of the first people i met when I came to Dreamscape and we became good friends..

I am at a loss for words here, you will be truly missed Tig 

His biggest wish in dreamscape was one day to become a Mage, he told me that on many occasions as he loved roleplaying ...
So I am VERY glad he did play The Sheriff...just perfect role for him!! ( and i just found this out by reading the previous posts..."you li'l sneak") ..

But I truly hope you are smiling upon us from up there
and one day we will meet again...RIP my friend

and my condolences to all his family,friends and loved ones!!

Re: Fly with angels Tigerfeet 


This is very hard for me. I have known Tiger for quite some time. He was a joy to us all. Knowing how much he loved not only Kymer but he loved SK. He rode over with us during the merge.. I most remember back then every time i would unghost at the gates he was there. Or would come down to chat or just say Hi. 

He was a wonderful man and will be missed very much.

Fly with the Angels Tiger... and Help take care of my special angel.

Huggs with many tears

Re: Fly with angels Tigerfeet 

*tears* I knew Tigerfeet wasn't always in tiptop health, but I guess I just got to taking it for granted he'd always be a pillar of our community. Heck, I almost still feel that way, actually... Once he appeared in old SK he jumpred right into the life of the community and it was just as if he'd always been a core part of us. He was a kind and compassionat person, with a wry sense of humor, but the thing that impressed me most about him was his wisdom and even-handed way of considering all sides of a matter. I'm sure that if he had been able to stay with us he would eventually have become a mage - heck, I pretty much thought of him as a kind of RW mage anyway! I just can't help feeling that, wherever he is, he's still pitching in and helping wherever he can.

Re: Fly with angels Tigerfeet 

This is a very sad day for Dreamscape, indeed. No doubt, he also deeply touched the lives of all of his rw students. I'm sure he was an awesome teacher.

I, too, am at a loss for words. Till we meet again, Tigerfeet .

Re: Fly with angels Tigerfeet 

The Mages too have asked that I express their deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Tiger. He was a regular at most Mage games and was affectionately referred to as "Mr Feet" by the brotherhood. His presence at their activities brought a smile to their faces as he was a genuinely nice man, who displayed great kindness and humor in all of his interactions. Although they will sorely miss his physical presence, they know he will be with them always in spirit.

Re: Fly with angels Tigerfeet 

I just cannot believe what I'm hearing !! <sobs>

I spoke with TF at length while on duty in the Welcomer Center a night or so before I went in for surgery last week. We were talking about his pneumonia and when I suggested that maybe he should get some more sleep, he insisted that he was coming along nicely. 

He stuck around to chat with me about how my mom was doing after her heart surgery and asking me about my upcoming surgery, etc. He reassured me that everything would be fine and that he would send prayers up for me as I have done for him repeatedly since finding out he was ill.

He was just such a kind and gentle soul, a true gentleman and very chivalrous as well. I sit here and cry just thinking of how little time he had left here with us! Although I'm sure, being the kind person he was, that he would not want us to cry over him, I'm also certain that he knew we would were he to leave us!

I think of a poem that I've oft read in the past as a way to heal my heart since my father's passing and think that perhaps Tig would relate to it as well.

I hope that his family will find comfort from it as I have.

May the Lord bless you, keep you and welcome you home Tig!!

Warm, tight huggggs sent to you above!

Look for the Wind
by A.P. Beall, 1987 

Beneath a March moon rising
Over memories of snow,
You can hear the East wind calling
In the sea cliffs, there, below. 

And beneath the full moon rising,
Where gentler breezes blow,
My shadow longs to walk tonight,
In places I can't go.

Where I'm going, I can't tell you,
When I'm coming, I don't know;
Look for the wind behind you --
Think of times not long ago 

And I'll be there 

In the Springtime by the Old Mill,
In the Autumn by the Bay,
In the laughter of the Summer
And each rainy Winter day. 

I'll be there. 

I have a reason to have been here,
And a reason to be gone.
And a reason to have loved you
Every evening, every dawn.
And beneath the full moon rising
Where my shadow longs to go...
But now I'm gone. 

Yet I always shall be there
In the warm and gentle winds
Behind you --
Yesterday.

LadyShania

Re: Fly with angels Tigerfeet 

Oh my god! The weirdest feeling is coming over me now - It was my father, Alan Patrick Beall, who wrote that poem! He died in 1996 and my mother later discovered this poem under his typewriter. Apparently he had written it ten years before, when he had his first heart attack We figure he wrote and hid it because his brush with mortality made him unsure how much longer he would live. He was the kind of man who found it hard to express his emotions out loud, and had hidden the poem so that it would be found after his death, so that he could still let us know he loved us, even if he could only do it from a distance.

Now that I think about it TigerFeet did remind me a great deal of my father. You might even say I had a bit of a "father complex" around him... But anyway like I said, I have the strangest feeling of shakes going through me now - as if I have suddenly realized that they are both in the same place now, and if and when they run into each other they will find that they have a lot in common, and be able to have great conversations together (and probably shake their heads together over me, as well, sometime!)

Anyway I later posted Dad's poem on my web site because I felt it would give comfort to others. I'm so glad to find out that it did! Isn't it funny how things come back around over the years?

Tig, please tell my dad I said Hello, that I am doing fine and not to worry about me - thank you, huggsss!

I just returned from a family funeral out of state to find that we have lost our dear friend, sheriff, and Welcomer (among many others) Tigerfeet. He was a Welcomer for a short time but he loved being there to help others and to visit with avies who came in to share some time with him. I am so sad. I will miss you Tig, you were always so kind to me. God and Heaven are a better place with you there. But we will miss you terribly.

Tigerfeet you will be missed by all of your friends and family in RW and here IW. I haven't had a chance to talk to you much lately but I am very proud to have a picture of you with FD and I at our wedding.
You were such a kind man with a gentle soul.
I was absolutely shocked to find out that you passed away. It is nice to know however that you passed doing something that made you happy. You passed away with your friends and family right at your fingertips.
I know you are in a better place and smiling down on all of us.
Tigerfeet you will be missed by so many.
I will not cry for you. I will celebrate your life. Celebrate all of the wonderful things you did in your life, all of your experiences, all of your joyus moments. 
I will miss you Tigerfeet.
Rest well my friend. 
You will always be in our hearts, memories and will always be a part of us.
