I miss you everyday. Rest in peace my friend.

Before the book closes, I just wanted to say that I knew Raymond only for a short time and only on the Cyber soapbox. He always impressed me as a good and decent man, slow to anger and quick to forgive. It is a shame when the world loses such a man, they make it a better place, but God needs good men too. He is not really gone; he is waiting in a place where time has no relevance.

I only knew him online, he touched hearts the world over. One of the kindest souls, you're missed r.brown.

I only "met" him online, but I know I speak for many when I say that r.brown (as he was known to us on the Cyber Soap Box and earlier on the Car Talk bulletin boards) came across to everyone, without exception, as one of most gracious, decent and worthwhile people in both cyberspace or in the real world. I'm sorry I never got to meet him in person.
Raymond will be missed by many, many people he never knew. My sincere condolences to his family and others whom he did know.

I am one of the many who also only knew Ray on-line. Throough our interactions I always found him to be an articulate and intelligent who was genuinely caring and respectful of other's feelings. Even the way he faced his illness showed a strength of character that I have much respect for.
My sincerest heartfelt condolences go out to his friends and family on the loss of this exceptional man.

I knew Ray through various message boards as well. In all my interactions with him, he was a decent and caring man who apparently had little bad to say about anyone. he will surely be missed.
My condolences to his family and friends.

My deepest condolences to all of Ray's family.
I am yet another of the many people with whom Ray shared his life on line. He presented himself exactly as all those who know him in "real life" would have expected - kind, caring, funny, and almost constitutionally unable to either take or give offense or hurt to others.
He truly was one of a kind, and I shed genuine tears on reading of his passing.
Thank you for sharing him with us.

To Ray's family,
I "met" Ray in 2000 on a message board at Car Talk. For the last seven years, I have admired his honesty, caring and sense of humor. One very unusual characteristic of Ray's was that he never resorted to personal attacks on others, but was instead supportive and empathetic.
My thoughts will be with you.

I knew R. Brown through a message board. Consistant with what I have seen friends and family say, he never had an unkind word. He will be much missed by his cyber friends.

Dear friends and family of r. brown,
r. brown has been a long time and almost daily correspondent on the Cybersoapbox, and before that on we was corresponding together on the Rants and Rave message board.
Some of us have been writing with him for nearly a decade.
His was unique voice of reason and humor in that online community, and we are going to miss him.
Our condolences go out to his family and friends in Salt Lake City.

We are all very saddened by Raymond's passing. Although we only ever knew him online, in all our discussions and debates he was a true gentleman. He showed courage and humour through all his adversity, and was never one to complain.
He will be very much missed.

Raymond also has a large group of friends on-line. His written words will be missed.

Grateful for the sweet memories of our association with Raymond. I remember his effort and thoughtfulness when he came to vist Uncle Mitch after Mitch's open heart surgery. Then there were the many emails, after the surgery, from Raymond to cheer Mitch. Thank you Raymond for belonging to all of us. You are just out of sight for awhile. Families are Forever!
Love and prayers to his family. He is missed and loved
Love Aunt Winna

Ray inspired everyone to be the best they could. He was original and unique and was never sugar-coated. He was my story idea buddy and that will be greatly missed. The Utah Grizzlies have lost their greatest fan. God Speed, brother and we'll swap story ideas again someday. Love ya. Cheno

Ray was such an important and special part of our lives. From photograpic advice to the personalized letters from "Santa" that arrived in our mailbox every Christmas, his friendship to me and my family was genuine and priceless. I was so fortunate to have him as a part of my life. We love you Ray and you will be greatly missed...

I have many great memories of Raymond. He had his own unique humor and wit, and could lighten any room by his mere presence and smile. He could tease you, then make you laugh at yourself in the next breath - and that is truly a gift.
He was a sweet and caring person who will live on in all our most kindest actions.
May His Memory Be Eternal.
