Dean C. Fasano

The older I get the more I think about my childhood and Dean was a big part of that. The radio station I listen to plays My Cheri Amore often and always brings tears to my eyes. He sang that song to me as I listened from my bedroom window. My first love always in my heart. I keep his family in my prayers.

I am saddened to learn about Dean's death. I went to school with Dean from Kindergarten to 4th grade at St Anthony's School in Belleville. I haven't seen him since he moved away in the mid 60's, but I remember him well as the class clown. It was just recently when some former classmates got together that we talked fondly about Dean. At that time none of us knew that he had already passed nor did we know the level of fame that he attained. My condolences to his family.

I can't believe today is 1 month since Dean Passed away...I miss him so much I know he's at peace and in a better place now..but still being here on earth it hurts so bad not being able to speak with him again on the 16th of this month (Jan.) would have been his Birthday..I miss our longs talks at night on the phone. I want Jake, Max, and Chaz to know that your Dad loved you all so very much.God Bless the boys and stay strong.Till we meet again my Dear Friend and Brother....Love and Miss you :-(

Dear Fasano family, my name is Roseanne Grossano Ragosta. i am 54 years old. I moved to Port Reading and lived on Gaffney Way, in 1965 when i was 10 years old. My first boyfriend was Dean. He would ride his bike from his house on Beacon St. to Gaffney Way almost everyday. We would ride our bikes together and find our other friends like Anthony Picillo, his sister Tina, John Candito, Mike Armento and so many others. Every nite before we had to go home at dark, Dean would come by my bedroom...

Dear Aunt Laura, Rich, Eileen, Colleen and the rest of Dean's family,
I was so shocked to hear of Dean's passing. It had been 10 years since I had last spoken with him, but he was one of my favorite people, and I was always proud of his accomplishments. Please accept my deepest condolences.
Love,
Mark

My Bestfriend my Brother Dean I will miss you and you will Always be in my Heart. Rest in Peace my Dear Friend you are finally home and some day we will meet again.. Love you Bro Sue(Tamarac, FL)

When I first heard of Dean's passing, I was so sad. I only saw Dean a few times in my life...he was a very good friend to my father, Al Romanelli. Although I didn't know Dean very well, I felt like I knew him from a very young age. I had his Message album, "Lessons"...I believe I was in second or third grade. I would listen to that album religiously and just remember that he had the voice of an angel. Dean made a huge impact on me from very young...I will always remember Dean as an extremly...

To Dean's family... Especially Gerry & the boys: We are so very sorry about Dean's loss. We loved him so much & will always miss him. He was a wonderful & talented man whose work in our studio was amazing. We will always keep him in our hearts and prayers. Our sympathy & love go out to his family.

I hadn't been around and just heard about Dean passing away. Dean had a big voice, and a bigger heart, and anyone who really knew Dean, knew what he was about. Me thoughts and prayers go out tonight to his family and friends, with the hope and promise that he will now be free of pain, and blessed with eternal peace. I will now have a single day to celebrate the life of two of my idols who left us much to early.
