California Jamaican Food Vendor Mr. Stone (Noel Dias)
passed away January 24, 2020
|
He will be sorely missed by the California Reggae Festival Industry. Stone’s Jamaican Kitchen was a landmark at hundreds of reggae festivals up and down the state for over a quarter of a century bringing authentic Jamaican food to thousands who would otherwise not have the opportunity to experience it. He also fed the traveling Jamaican artists and the producers of the festivals. His generosity of spirit made him an integral part of the reggae festival family. Rest in Peace Mr. Stone.

If you wish, and we really wish you wouldn't, like to be removed from this list, please reply with REMOVE in subject line.
It will make us very sad if you do, and perhaps your removal will be the one the makes us decide this no longer worth doing at all, and all the information we provide will go away forever and musicians will sit home alone at night and cry because they have no one to play for because no one knows about their shows.
