Raymond L. Brown

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 "r.brown" from his postings on the Car Talk board and then from the cybersoapbox. His unique view of the world will definatley be missed. My condolences to you and your family.

God speed, Ray.

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.
