Off Topic R.I.P. Richard Brown / urchin FF moderator
Very sad. Only met him once, but again he left a good impression. This mortal reminder has certainly made me stop to think today.
Very sad.
I never met Richard, but spoke on here a few times. Always enjoyed what he had to say, condolances to the family.

Just been pointed to this by Stu.Terrible terrible news - he really was a fantastic chap.
As a mark of respect, the forum will be shut down during the funeral.
Stay tuned for further updates.
These things always happen so suddenly, I was reading posts by Richard only a couple of days ago.
My thoughts and condolences go to his family and friends. He came across as a helpful and kind man, and his presence here will be sorely missed.
Some comfort can be taken that he will never be alone, and has the late Steve Yensen to talk panda into the early hours.
RIP Urchin.

I've not met many from FF, but Richard was one that I had. He went out of his way to help me source a part, and then didn't mind me turning up in the middle of the night (got lost on the way) to collect it.
He was always a pleasure to talk to, and will be missed by all that knew him. My thoughts are with his family and friends.

I never met Richard but being close by he offered to help me out a couple of times when I was scratching my head about Panda problems. This is such sad news and such a shock. My thoughts are with his family. Richard will be hugely missed by us all.

Not been on the forum for a while, come back on to hear of this. Absolutely terrible news. My thoughts go out to his family, doubly awful at this time of year.
RIP urchin.

I first met Richard after messages on FF at Stanford Hall, raining heavily by still had the BBQ going under the gazebo!
I brought along Poppi and he had the silver 4x4 on display, was a good day and such a nice guy to talk to!
RIP Richard. My thoughts go out to Paula and family.

And we are back - I hope Richard was in all your minds this previous hour.
Good luck up there sir

As far as the rest of things go - Paula had expressed a desire for any funeral donations to come to the forum.
Whilst this is a nice gesture, it didn't seem quite appropriate - so instead, we will be using all the donations to go towards the purchase of a custom made trophy, perhaps the "Urchin Cup" for best FIAT? This will then be awarded each year (probably at Mitcar) - and will be passed on annually.
I will of course keep you all up to date on this - never bought something like that before, so it needs a bit of research!

He was indeed! I was hoping to attend today as a mark of respect but realised this morning I'd looked up Bramcote near Birmingham not near Derby. There's no way I'd make it back to se London for a family commitment I have this afternoon so very annoyed with myself over that.
My love and thoughts go out to all the family and friends of Richard/Urchin
RIP Richard Brown
My condolences go to his family friends and colleagues.

maybe some of it could go towards some new forum fliers with richards cars on?1
The service and panda convoy was lovely and a pretty good turn out Fliers and trophy are great ideas. Maybe the urchin trophy could be awarded on his birthday?
Gives me a goal to achieve in my next Panda
