Downloadable fliers – Go to our calendar and check out our downloadable fliers. We have created an option on the website for you to download a flier for any one of our currently listed calendar events.  Now you can conveniently download Jazzway 6004 and Pizzeria Venti event info wherever you are!

New ticketing system – Change is difficult.  But we decided that changing from  Brown Paper Tickets, headquartered in Seattle to Instant Seats, which is DC based would offer more local promotion opportunities and be more convenient for patrons, and musicians alike.  This system will allow you to print out your own tickets on-line and tickets will also be available at the door (for Pizzeria Venti only).  Unfortunately no phone sales are offered, and cash must be paid at the door, but we plan to add a credit card payment option at the door within the next two months. We are still working out the bugs and learning the system, but we expect that this will turn out to be a more efficient and flexible option for taking payments and for getting the word out.

Joseph Albert Casucci  - June 15, 1928- July 8, 2010

 STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Joseph Albert Casucci, 82, of The Villages, Fla., a former Staten Island resident who was one of the founding families of the Eden II School for Autistic Children, died last Thursday in Florida Hospital East, Orlando.

Born in Manhattan, he was brought to West Brighton as a child. After his marriage in 1952, he moved to Sunnyside. He settled in The Villages about 10 years ago.

Mr. Casucci worked for over 20 years as vice president of Covent Ventilating, Manhattan. While working with the company, Mr. Casucci designed air conditioning systems for the former World Trade Center, Rockefeller Center and Radio City Music Hall. He retired in 1990.

Mr. Casucci attended McKee High School, and left to join the U.S. Navy, where he served as pharmacist’s mate during World War II. After receiving his general equivalency diploma, Mr. Casucci briefly attended Wagner College, Grymes Hill, and earned a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from New York University’s School of Engineering.  According to family, he went to school at night for 12 years while working to support his family.

Mr. Casucci and his wife, Jean, were among the founding families that created the Eden II School for Autistic Children. At that time in 1976, the program operated inside the former Bayley Seton Hospital, Clifton. The program evolved into multiple locations boroughwide that provide classroom and vocational instruction; adaptive physical education; speech therapy; psychological, social and residential services; parent training, and adult training. It serves children from pre-school age to adult.

Mr. Casucci served as the school’s first president and, according to family, because his son, Larry, was autistic, both he and his wife were actively involved in caring for their son and creating the school’s programs.

Mr. Casucci was a man of sincere personal Christian faith, who had a deep love for family and friends, family members said. He was proud of his Italian ethnicity, and was committed to the honor and tradition of his heritage.

Deeply patriotic, he was a former member of the Joseph F. Merrell American Legion Post, West Brighton.

Mr. Casucci was an avid Yankees fan, golfer and a longtime member of the Staten Island Fairway Golf Club.

“He was known for his infectious smile, exceptional dancing ability, generous spirit and uncanny ability to tell an entertaining story,” said his wife of 58 years, the former Jean Polizzi.

He enjoyed spending time with family and was especially devoted to his grandchildren.

Along with his wife, Jean, also surviving are four sons, Steve, Joe, Daniel and Larry; two daughters, Annmarie Mercaldo and Jeanette Rasmussen; one brother, Carmine; four sisters, Antoinette Kilgannon, Rose Collo, Anna Mantani and Florence Peters, and six grandchildren.

The funeral will be Friday from the Harmon Home for Funerals, West Brighton, with a service at 10 a.m. in the Church at the Gateway, Richmond Valley. Burial will be in St. Peter’s Cemetery, West Brighton.
