Friends,
I am sorry to announce that Carlo Pittore passed away yesterday, July 17,
2005 at 3:05 pm. I am told he succumbed peacefully, attended by loving
friends, in his beloved state of Maine on Sunday afternoon to the esophageal
cancer that he was diagnosed with last year. Carlo, always the fighter, far
outlived the time that doctors had predicted he would have on the planet. He
was determined to live life to its fullest as long as he could, and this he
certainly did.
He was such a passionate artist. I wrote this
[http://www.panmodern.com/carlopittore.html] last year when I heard about
his illness. We then had a tribute for him in October at the Bowery Poetry
Club in New York to which some of you sent messages. I forwarded them to
him. He enjoyed watching the video and reading and hearing about the
messages from his many friends. I now welcome other tributes to Carlo as
well as suggestions about how we might remember him with art. Send your
suggestions and thoughts and wishes. I will forward along any information
that I get as it comes in- back to you and also to his friends and family in
Maine and New York who will determine what will happen next.
Celebrate Carlo with passion and joy and enthusiasm. I am sure that is what
he would have liked.
Mark Bloch
