CARL WAS ALWAYS A TRUE FRIEND, AND WILL BE FOREVER A STANDARD THAT OTHERS SHOULD STRIVE FOR , NOT BECAUSE HE WAS THE BEST , BUT THAT HE TRIED TO BE WHO HE WAS AND DIDNT HURT ANYONE DOING IT. HE IS ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT STAY WITH YOU . HE WILL BE HERE ,LIKE HE WAS IN LIFE IN A DIFFERENT WAY THAN OTHERS BUT EVER PRESENT.

Carlucci (aka Carlooch, Carl, ELF, St. Stanton, Viking Etiquitte) was a close friend and his passing is breaking my heart. Like Van Gogh, he was a gentle, tortured genius. I am completely stunned that he is gone. I pray to St. Stanton every day.
Carlucci was such a beautiful, gentle, exciting person. He shared everything in his being & lived to create & explore. It was an inspiration to be a part of his life; he was so open with his ideas, his freinds, his creativity. I watched so many people laugh & smile & become inspired in his presence. I have so many memories of playing with the toys/artwork all over his apartment, of going out with him as a walking work of art, of eating samosas on the cold winter streets, listening to records while it snowed & he sketched things on peices of wood or paper we had found in the street...he was unforgettable. More people should live like that, with the heart of a child & the mind of a genius. I ran away one day & never got to tell him a proper goodbye, I always just thought that when I made it back to the city, he would be there in his curios of an apartment....no matter what happened to the rest of the city, I figured Carlucci would be there, he was his own institution. He will be more than missed, by his hundreds of true freinds, by fans the world over & by everyone in the chaging lower east side where his presence inspired so many. The world will be a little less interesting without carlucci, but he has left us with food for thought& there is no doubt that he is in peace now. He loved his community, his life & he served the purposes he believed in, but the world’s not always so easy for genius to survive in. He was always an angel anyhow, sometimes I could practically see his wings & halo, even with a lampshade or a monster mask on his head:)I love you Carlucci. I missed you already & think of you all the time. You are an inspiration & will be missed greatly.
