HIMAN BROWN Paid Death Notice
From The Paid Death Notices at the New York Times: HIMAN BROWN Paid Death Notice
From the paid death notice: “(He) died peacefully at his home in Manhattan on Friday June 4th 2010 at 8:13pm.”
It is inexcusable that The New York Times hasn’t run a legitimate obituary of one of the greats of radio drama, absolutely inexcusable. All we have now is this paid notice, which while written with a sense of humor does not do the man justice.
Much thanks to Doug Douglass for posting the info to the OTR Digest.

You are absolutely right that it’s ‘inexcusable’, however according to the NY Times website paid obit ads are only printed by permission. Not sure if Google would have it or not but I’m going to give it a shot.
