Candido,
On behalf of my family, I would like to thank you for your wonderful artwork that we have enjoyed for several years. You consistently brought fresh insight and a sense of optimism to our lives during the brief times that we met. Our time on earth has been enriched as a result of having known you and we shall cherish the time we have with your wonderful paintings.
On behalf of myself and my fellow artists that have had the pleasure of having known you, your mentorship and relentless dedication to your art will live on as a most noble legacy. Thank you my brother.

My dear Candido, never have I met anyone like you. Always so full of hope and optimism even on the darkest of days. You were an artist beyond compare; the way you saw life and colours was beyond my comprehension. I only knew you for a brief time and can only imagine how many other lives you touched and changed. May the Lord bless you greatly in paradise for your selflessness and mirth. You were a dreamer, a creator and a wonderful teacher. Thank you master, I will always remember you.

Our dear artist Candido,
Your soul and positive attitude towards life will always be remembered. Awesome memories from Astoria, NY all the way to San Antonio, TX. Our hearts are mourning, aching and full of sorrow knowing that you are no longer with us.
You will be missed and we'll always love you. You will be the life of the party in heaven.
We remain fortunate to have shared your friendship. Que en paz descanses.

To the family, I am so sad that you have lost Candido. My friendship with him started in Malibu at the Getty Museum in 1992. I remember vivdly Candido standing next to me in the gallery and drawing in his sketchbook the sculpture I was looking at and then sketching me. He started talking about art with his accent and I was won over. I will miss his laughter and passion for life. I am thinking about all of you and may God Bless you.
