To the family of Dick Fussner I can only say how very proud you must be of his life. I never knew a kinder, more generous and caring person in my 80 years. I was a friend of Dick during that period that he was with Kings Island. Many were the time that he hosted our various safety group meetings in his position with Kings Island. On a one on one relationship he was indeed my guide and mentor in the safety business field.
Dick and Mary Jane became our friends during these years and Jan, my wife, and I spent many a happy evening in their company. The love that they had for each other and their family was a joy to be a part of during that time.
We extend our sympathy to you and please know how much he will be missed by all who he touched in the Cincinnati area.
Sincerely Dave & Jan Machnovitz

Mr. Fussner was so kind and generous to me while I was writing my Kings Island book. What an amazing and impactful career and legacy! My thoughts and prayers go out to the Fussner family.
