I am a visitor of art shows and came to know Jorge through them. I recently heard and was so sorry to hear of his way too early passing. My sincerest condolences to his family and friends. The artists who knew him spoke highly of him. I bought some of his stone necklaces, the quality of his mirrors and frames work equally beautiful. He was a kind, with an emphasis on kind, interesting, friendly person to talk with, though that time was always short. God's peace and my prayers as you continue to miss him in your lives.

Para la familia de un amigo que ahora esta durmiendo profundamente pero sin soñar.
Jorge Castañeda.
Una gran persona conocida y respetuosa, tuvimos el gusto de compartir con su maravilloso arte en diferentes ciudades de Arizona por muchos años, Jorge era una persona atenta, ayudadora y muy seria en su trabajo siempre con su actitud positiva, que triste es para nosotros perder un amigo y comprendo profundamente como ahora se sienten ustedes los que quedan porque están cocientes de todo lo que están pasando y verdaderamente lo sentimos mucho, por favor reciban nuestro mas sentido pésame y tengan mucho cuidado especialmente en estos tiempos tan difíciles de manejar.
atentamente:
Sus amigos de "Andina music and hand crafts"
