Not sure what to say?

Earlier this week Id revisited Bobs stunning black and white monoprints. His work continues to be relevant and inspirational. The mystery and grandeur of his Italian landscapes remain a highlight among his many accomplishments.

To the family,
My wige and I met Mr Dente and his wife Linda in Taormina, Italy in October 2005. We came out of the train station and took a taxi together to separate hotels. We din not know each other but chat a lot in the car. Later that night, we met again by accident in a restaurant and eat together. I was under the charm of this nice man and (I found out later) great artist. We visit his expo in Palermo I think and met again his lovely wife Linda in that city. She told us to stop by...

Bob,
I always remember you as a very kind man. Wish I could have seen you again before you passed . Your memory will always be cherished and remembered by me and your beautiful artwork.

Love your cousin,
Felecia

I liked Bob. And, my condolences to Linda.

Bob was a visual poet, a philosopher, a great cook and nurturing, complex soul. His art was transcendent, his humor witty and wicked. Sitting in the pink and culinarily tricked out Dente kitchen yakking, drinking, eating and laughing was always a sublime highlight of my visits to Connecticut.

Sending love and peace to Bob's loved ones.
