Not sure what to say?

Like many others, we've not met but you've brought so many personalities into my life, enriching the stories you tell. I'm just now learning of your passing and it makes me so sad. I would think you would have made the most amazing dinner guest as your knowledge would be spread over endless topics, having read such diverse books. But, I shall miss your capturing the characters in Louise Penny's books the very most. My condolences to your family and my appreciation to them for sharing your...

Dear Ralph, I only discovered Louise Penny´s Inspector Gamache series recently, and thus discovered you. Her writing draws me in, and your voice brings it to life in the most cherished way. I only discovered your passing today, and I can´t imagine Armand´s voice without you giving it life. Though I just `met´ you, and I will miss you, you can be sure I will be searching for books where your strong, beautiful, comforting voice will be bringing them to life. As it has been, and is now 8...

My favorite voice in the whole wide world. Anything you read I fall in love with. I feel like you are a great grandfather I never had the same pleasure to meet. Rest easy Mr. Cosham. You are still alive through your voice.

I am a fan of Ralph Cosham. His voice gave the novels of Louise Penny, C S Lewis, Doyle, Conrad, Kipling ... heft and beauty; clean lines of sound that equally comforted and inspired. I hope he loved his work as much as I enjoyed finding a work narrated by him. Thank you.

Mr. Cosham's storytelling has been a treasured delight. I am sorry to hear of his passing and I'm grateful for his wonderful legacy of well read stories.

Ralph Cosham, you never knew me, but you were my friend. Thank you for all the stories you have told me. Your audiobook readings have enriched and continue to enrich my life.

May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always.
