Sorry to see this, I was just wondering the other day why he hadn't posted in sometime.
I did not realize he was ill. My thoughts and prayers to his family.

I was in the middle of writing a response to the hospice news when this was posted.
I assume news of the arrangements will be posted here.

Indeed we shall, John. I too have been missing his posts and have wondered about him.
He was a good friend to us all who enjoy this hobby and so often a source of information. May he rest in peace.

That's very sad news. Dick was a key part of this forum and the 1/43 hobby in general and he will greatly missed. Thankfully, he had a peaceful passing and with loved ones nearby.

Mr Browne will be missed. He had a wealth of knowledge about our hobby and many fascinating stories as well. Rest In Peace!

I share Mike and Lou’s thoughts (And those of everyone else here). Although I never met him, as a frequent visitor to this forum I respected Mr. Browne for his knowledge. My condolences to his family and friends.

Very sad to hear this news. I knew he hadn't been well...
and I used to email him every so often saying I was 'checking up on him'. My condolences to his family and all friends who knew him.

Sad news. Like many here, I knew Dick was ill and I have been thinking about him.
I enjoyed his articles in the model magazine, and he was a key member of the SFBBC, writing most of the articles in its newsletter, "Limited Editions." He was a strong supporter and advocate for our hobby.
Sincere condolences to Dick's wife Jo Ann and their family. RIP.
