He died on Good Friday. He said repeatedly that becoming a Christian believer was the most important event of his life. Born a Jew, he was baptized as an Anglican on Holy Thursday 15 years ago. And, he was received into the Catholic Church and took the sacraments, including Holy Unction, in his hospital room on Monday. -- View from the Right

Mr. Auster was a gifted teacher and communicator. He helped us all see the world in a proper way-I will be forever grateful.

I fine man, a soldier in the fight against tyranny and always an intelligent and thought provoking writer. He will be missed. May he rest in peace.

Impossible to replace.

Lawrence Auster once accused me of being less than a gentleman. He was correct.

The world is a poorer place without him. Rest in peace, soldier of Truth.

I am so ashamed to not have known of this great, good man until very recently. I wept over his recent posts, and the comments. I am so very blessed to discovered him through the miracle of the Internet.

He was a unique man. His mind was like a sharp knife. God help you if you didn't state your point with precision. He made a lot of people angry. I was reading some of the less kind sentiments about his passing at American Renaissance. Many Jewish bloggers considered him a fifth columnist, which is hilarious, given the fact that so many liberal Jews continue to vote fore their own demise.

Lawrence's blog became a go to place for me daily over the last few years. I will miss him. May his soul be at peace with the Lord.
