STANLEY

STANLEY WAS AN ORIGINAL THINKER WITH A DEEP SOUL. HE CREATED AN AURA OF INTELECT AND CONVERSATION. STANLEY HAD STRONG OPIONIONS, BUT WAS OPEN TO ALL IDEAS.

HOWEVER HE DIDN'T SUFFER FOOLS LIGHTLY. 

YOU HAD TO KNOW Y0UR RESERCH BEFORE CONFRONTING STANLEY.

I HAVE FOND MEMORIES OF MEETING STANLEY @ MOCA WEHO SO WE COULD VIEW THE CAMERON EXHIBIT WITH MUTUAL AWE. WE THEN WALKED IN THE RAIN, (WITHOUT UNBRELLAS) AND CAUGHT THE BUS HOME. ON THE BUS FELLOW RIDERS JUST STARED AT US, AN UNLIKEY PAIR. WHAT COULD THOSE TWO POSSIBLY HAVE IN COMMON?

PEOPLE SITTING NEXT TO US WERE MEZMORIED BY STANLEY'S CONVERSATION WITH ME. SOMETHING ESOTERIC AND EXISTENTIAL. THAT WAS STANLEY'S EVERY DAY CHAT!

THANK YOU STANLEY FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT OVER THE YEARS. WITH MY GALLERY AND BEYOND.

YOUR AWARNESS IS GREATER THAN LIFE.

I WILL  STILL DEARLY MISS YOU ON THIS PLAIN 

& YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY 

HEART.

LOVE RICK CASTRO
