DEAR RON & THE FUSCO FAMILY; I WAS ONE OF BANDSTAND'S BIGGEST FANS AND GOD BLESSED ME WITH MEETING JOE IN THE 80'S AND THANKS TO JOE I MET SO MANY BANDSTANDERS AND HAD SO MANY GREAT TIMES WITH JOE; HE WAS THE LIFE OF THE PARTY AND A NUMBER ONE DANCER; AS PRESIDENT OF THE 'AMERICAN BANDSTAND FAN CLUB' ON BEHALF OF ALL OF US; YOU WILL BE MISSED AND WILL REMAIN IN OUR HEARTS AND MEMORIES FOREVER! WE ALL LOVED YOU JOE!

I met Joe, oh, so many years ago, dancing almost shoulder to shoulder with him, 5 days a week. It wasn’t until the fall of 2001 that Joe and I reunited. Thank you Joe for the many wonderful original pictures you sent to me from so many years ago. You and I had some wonderful phone conversations about our dogs. Yes Joe, you were still the same sweet lovable person as you were so many years ago. I was so glad you came to the AB Mural unveiling on August 2, 2007. That was the last time I...

Thanks to Charles Amann I got to know Joe. I considered myself so lucky to have been invited to one of his infamous dinners. What fun they were! Thanks Joe for giving me so many laughs and good times. Will miss you!

Dear Ronnie and Fusco Family,
I go back back 40 years with Joe. I just found out today of his passing and how shocked I was when Ronnie told me the news.. He was a special person in my life as I'm sure he was to many others. Ronnie stay strong and take care of those four-legged kids. They will need you more than ever. Ron, please know I am here for you at any time.
Joe...I will always love you.

In the past four years, Joe had become a big part of my life. All the dinners, all the Bandstand blasts, and we spoke as much as five times a week -- long calls. I'll miss his laughter and love. A few months ago, I was happy to facilitate Joe's participation in a forthcoming documentary -- possibly the last existing footage of Joe. So for all to see, please go to youTube and type in Bandstand Dancers. I loved you, Joe Fusco...and you were loved by all. Say hi to Harvey, Frankie, Richie,...

To the Fusco Family & Friends of Joe: Though I never met Joe, he has been in my memory bank ever since seeing him on the 50s American Bandstand shows. Stored in that bank of memories are the visuals of him dancing across the screen with many of the popular girls on the show. I know there are many other fans who have these same great memories. Keep on dancing, Joe...and thanks for the memories!

Dear family & friends - We are so sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
