Not sure what to say?

His work is quite amazing, and although I never met him, I saw much of his art and was able to get some of it to his family.

I have come across more than a hundred slides/photographs taken by Mr. Chandler and would like to send them to whomever would like them. I'm not sure how they ended up in my hands, but perhaps from the time that I lived in Mill Valley, CA. My Cell/Text is 239-707-1000

I met Geoffrey when he had just made the painting for Supernova 1987A, and it was on the cover of TIME magazine.

It was then I realized he was a master and got to know him as the warm and kind person he was, besides being amazingly talented. I always thought very highly of him and am saddened to hear of his passing.

Geoff's Artwork - 1970

I have digital copies of the master tapes of some of the (very psychedelic) music/jams we made together that I would be happy to pass on to his heirs. ...

Geoff's Memorial Grove at Big Basin

What a loss to the art world and I just discovered his passing today June of 2018!
Having been moved by his one and only music release Starscapes I have hope his musical gift to the world of curios listeners would one day be re-released for future listeners to partake the aural journey into the deeper hinterlands of imagination.

On a whim I just did a google search of my ex-husband. Tory and Helene I'm sorry for your loss and I am also sorry for the loss to the art world. Obviously I had left Geoffrey and my early adult life behind, since I am seeing this almost a year later. Though my life with Geoffrey was complicated it was also formative and filled with a deep love and passion that he brought out in me. Some of my favorite times with him were when he and I played piano and flute together privately. Not many...

Just learned of your passing a couple of days ago, Geoff. You were an insightful influence; you were loved and you will be very missed.
