Ralph Cosham, the narrator of Louise Penny's Armand Gamache series and many other audio books has died suddenly. Louise Penny posted the following on her Facebook page this morning:
"Just received the desperately sad news that Ralph Cosham passed away yesterday. I'm so sorry to have to tell you - I know for many of you it is like losing Armand. For Michael and me, we've lost a cherished friend. I can barely bring myself to believe it. His wife Beverly and family and friends must be devastated. I tried to post a photo of him, but for some reason I couldn't, so the best I can do is this link to the last interview he gave just over a month ago, to the Washington Post. Oh, Ralph - dear man. Our thoughts and prayers to Beverly and family. And our thanks, dear Ralph, for your kindness and warmth and intelligence, your passion for your work and life. Thank you for bringing Armand et al alive, forever. But mostly, thank you for your friendship. We love you."
