Alfred Desio

My cousin Damon was a student and in the movie Tap.
He absolutely adored Al.

Al Desio was my Stage Movement Intructor at USC in the mid eighties.
He was always bright and cheerful, and that infectious enthusiasm was felt within and brought out the best in all of us.
Thank you for your humble, brilliant instruction Al.
God bless you and may you RIP.

I love you, Al Desio...you made my time at USC so very special. Honored to have studied with you❤

Dear Al Desio Gone....But NOT Forgotten !! RIP Dear Brother we will all meet again one day and we'll be Dancin' with the Angels !!

I'm so sorry that Uncle Alfred passed away. My Mom, Matilda (terry) Holiday passed away 10/8/08, is with him now with Grandma, Agnus

My husband Alfred died almost 3 years ago - February 14, 2007. His spirit is still very much with me. Thank you to those who signed this guest book and for many letters.

Dear Alfred, I just now (01/11/08) read about your "last journey"...
The Heavens will be blessed with a beautiful human being like you...
Always your student: Wanda E. Kraag,
USC-CNTV, 1985-1990.

Alfred and Neils' mother Agnes was my mothers sister. The last time I saw cousin Alfred was 1949 in Clyde NY and cousin Neil 1956 at our uncle Armond Renzis in Miami, Fla. Very sorry for your loss.

Louise, I am Alfreds cousin Joanna (renzi) Walker of Tennessee. I wish I had known Alfred as an adult, I just remember him when I was very young. God Bless You.

My boys and I never experienced a wonderful tap teacher like Desio. He was one of a kind...knew his stuff and knew what he could get out of you. Made you do your best. We will never forget that infectious grin...

I LOVED Al in "KEAN"...one of my all time favorites.

"GIVE US A TUNE,CHRISTIE!"

God Bless and keep you!

so iam sorry

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

May Flights of Angels Sing thee to thy Rest.

Louise, So sorry to read abou Alfred. I was married to his brother Neil. God Bless You, Janet

ALFRED--YOU'RE GOING TO BE IN GOOD COMPANY UP THERE---GENE KELLY. FRED ASTAIRE AND GINGER ROGERS....BUT WITH A RESUME OF "WEST SIDE" "LA MANCHA" AND "FIDDLER" I THINK YOU'LL HOLD YOUR OWN. DON'T FORGET--NO ONE COULD KEEP UP WITH ANN MILLER, BUT GIVE IT YOUR BEST SHOT. I LOVE DANCERS ABOVE ALL THE OTHER ARTS. RIP.

REAT IN PEACE, ALFRED
