Dear Brian, you and I joined Wikipedia around the same time. Your intellect shone from the outset and it was clear that a gifted and generous contributor was with us. Your articles will continue to read by thousands of our readers for may decades to come. A magnificent legacy.

Brian, You will be more missed than you can ever possibly have realised. Your calm hand on the tiller of so many Wikipedia reviews is missed already. The one word that keeps resonating from heavyweight Wikipedians is "mentor". You taught us all so much, and we are never going to be able to fill the gap you have left.

Hi. I would like to offer my condolences. I am a huge admirer of Mr. Boulton's work. I left you a message on Wikipedia, at the user page set up with the user name User:Brianboulton's Family. I would be interested to let you know about some work that I hope to do with some wonderful writings that Mr. Boulton left, at his user page at Wikipedia. You can communicate with me at my user talk page at Wikipedia, at this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Sm8900
there are some drafts that Mr. Boulton left that I am working on. they are absolutely wonderful, and a true example of the intellectual depth that he brought to his work. I would like to communicate, and let you know what I hope to do with them. If you might wish to reply, I would be greatly honored to let you know more. I really appreciate your help. thanks. -- Sm8900

Dr Ramsden cannot read The Times obituary today
He’s dead.
