A great man. And a true man of the theatre, which I only understood years after I'd left Dolgeville.

When Joe joined the faculty of Dolgeville Central School, he brought with him great experience, great teaching skills, great enthusiam, and an uncanny ability to energize his students. He encouraged me to become a Theatre Major at SUNY Albany, which later lead me to Albany Law School and a long and happy career as a lawyer. Anyone fortunate enough to have been in one of Joe's classes should be grateful to have had that opportunity. I am honored to have been one of his students.

Mr. Martuscello was certainly a special person. He defined "gentleman" and actually made high school English an interesting subject. I was quite fortunate to meet him again a few years ago in Dolgeville and we had a nice chat and a few laughs. Great guy. My sympathy to his family.

To the family of Joe Martuscello:
Mr. Martuscello was my all-time favorite teacher. I enjoyed working with him at the Savarin Restaurant during the summer, as well, when he would surprise the staff with delicious home-made goodies (like carrot cake).
His lectures in English class ran the gamut from literature to mattress manufacturing & always kept us spellbound, and/or laughing.
His contribution toward the development of the drama productions at Little Falls High School was profound. He welcomed us into his home, encouraged our talents & accepted us as we were.
I am sorry for your loss.
Sincerely,
Anne DiNardi

Joe was an excellent teacher and a fine theater director. He was also a mentor to many of us at Little Falls High School. He directed three-act plays and musicals, he custom wrote plays for school assemblies and a number of us took his summer drama course which ended with a large production. We even staged "West Side Story." When he retired in 1985 Joe phoned me to ask if I thought his teaching career had been worthwhile. I told him that it certainly had been. My sincere condolences to his wonderful family.

I am very sorry to hear of Mr. Martuscello's passing. One summer in the sixties Mr. Martuscello directed us in a wonderful production of West Side Story. Participating and learning from Mr. Martuscello during that summer was a gift to me illustrating the creative power of the theatre that remains with me to this day. My sympathies to the Martuscello family and may Mr. Martuscello rest in peace. Sincerely - John

Dear Nanette, Yvonne and family, I am so sad to hear of the news of your fathers passing. More often than not we lose touch with those who had once been our best friends. Never purposely but we get busy with new things in our life that we realize we haven't seen or talked to them in years. So is our case. We have our memories, sliding down the slide in the little swimming pool, having grandmas with the name Rosie, swinging on the swings and just being together everyday. The grocery store, the ice cream store. I can go on and on. I often think of all those things and you will always be in my heart Nanette because you were my childhood best friend. Your Dad was a wonderful man and father and we are both lucky to have such wonderful parents. My thoughts and prayers will be with you, your mom, and your family during this time. I'm sorry I couldn't be there with you I have fractured my foot. I still have my parents and spend as much time as I can with them as their time grows near. We all still live in Amsterdam, spend my winters in Florida, have two grown children. Please know I think of you often and our times growing up. God bless you and your family. Never forget our childhood. RoseAnne McGillin St.John

I am deeply saddened by the passing of this man who was such an important influence in my life. I so often think of him when I am interpreting a song to be sung and some words to be spoken.... he did help me appreciate myself in a very confusing decade. I haven't seen him for along time now , but I am so often reminded of him in the many good things he taught me. May he rest in God's Love.
Peace and Grace to all of the Martuscello family.

Mr. Martuscello was that one teacher we all have -- if we are lucky -- who truly makes a difference in the way we see ourselves and our approach to life.
Through, theater, public speaking and even reading Shakespeare, he helped me see possibilities that were seldom revealed in Dolgeville in the late 70's. I gained enough confidence in his classes and in our theater productions, that I gained the direction that would allow me to have a satisfying career in media.
By chance I ran into him some years later at Arthur's Restaurant, and I told him what a difference he had made in my life. I'm sure many other students had similar experiences, and I hope he knew how much he really did shape young lives.

Dear Cousins,
Love to you all. I am thankful to your father for the love he extended to my father and mother, and to all of us. When he gave you his attention, he gave you his full attention. I will not forget hopping in the car to drive out to see all of you and feeling like Alice in Womderland. There was singing and laughing and food and whispers and eavesdropping on the adults... A wide open door and wide open hearts. You are a beautiful family and you will miss him very much, I know. Love and big hugs, Roberta

If one is fortunate, one has a teacher who sees something in them that they don't see in themselves. If even more fortunate, that teacher has the skill to bring it out of you.
For me, and many others I suspect, that teacher was Joe Martuscello.
I am eternally grateful and bow deeply to you, Sir.
Love ya Prof.

Prof. Martuscello was one of THE most influential teachers in my entire life! He instilled in me a life-long love of theatre and literally helped me find my voice, when he was looking for someone to sing the opening lament for Man of LaMancha, and I didn't know any better and voluteered [he was looking for a male, tenor!] That was back in the late '70s and from that moment on, music and theatre have been a huge part of me. Through our conversations over the years about theatre and music, Prof discussed life lessons and challenged me to think about things from a different perspective. While my trips home to Dolgeville were not frequent, up until these last few years, each trip included a visit to Prof. He met my kids, he knew my loves and my heartaches. He was ALWAYS a supporter of me and a constant encourager to follow my path. His confidence in me was important to my development throughout high school and set me on a course that allowed me to build on that confidence and tackle the world beyond the Mohawk Valley. I will be forever grateful that he was a part of my life. My deepest sympathies to his kids, many of whom were childhood friends. While our paths haven't crossed in some time, I do hope that memories of your dad will sustain you at this very sad time and ultimately will be the source of many smiles and great big laughs, booming over everything else - just like he did! You are in my thoughts.

I have many fond memories of Joe. From my teenage years to going to see him when visiting Amsterdam, NY after I married. Joe helped me make the decision to leave my home in Amsterdam and marry my Navy officer husband Charles, a Texan, 50 years ago. He wrote such a encouraging letter to us after the wedding. It was always a blessing to be invited to Joe's home for lunch or dinner for delicious gourmet food & great hospitality. I also remember how well he took care of his Mother, my Aunt Rose! I will miss not being at the funeral but send loving condolences, thoughts & prayers to Rosalyn, Roxanne, Nanette, Yvonne, Michelle, Bill and Camille. May God give you deep peace & comfort in Jesus during this time..... Lovingly, Arlene

This is very sad for me. Mr. Martuscello was very important to me. He really fostered my interest in reading, literature, and, of course, plays and acting. He inspired me to understand how to get inside the head of a character and how to portray that. He also was a good friend of my parents. The last I remember seeing him, he was very distraught at seeing my mother in the funeral home. I know it must have been heartbreaking for him when Joe Jr. passed away. I hope all of his children and grandchildren remember him for the great man and the great teacher he was.

We are saddened to hear of Mr. Martuscello"s passing. He was our English teacher in 1965-66. He was a very educated man, and he made our classes very interesting. He taught us about Shakespeare so we actually understood it, and as part of this learning experience we attended a performance of Othello , which at the time was at the theatre in Herkimer. That was kind of my first "date" with the man who has now been my husband for 47 years!! Thank you Mr. M. for all you did for so many. He will be missed but never forgotten. Our condolences to his family. RIP Mr.Martuscello!
