My Dear Stanley,
I just found out last night that dear Pedro passed. It brought tears to my eyes to think of all the times we spent together and how much he taught all of us and his wonderful sense of humor! Patty and I were reminising all night about the great times we had and shared. His artistic eye was far above the norm and he brought all of us to another level. Call us when you are in Margate...love to you Claire Collins and Patty and Berny Capaldi

Stanley -- I was an early "client" of your dearest partner. I say client in quotes, because he meant so much more. He was special and I use Pedro-isms still. He was the best. Even though we didn't see much of each other in the past several years, please know I will remember him. His talent is still everywhere in my little home.
Thinking of you in your sorrow --
