Obituary

Philip Fazio, 68, of Ft. Myers, Florida passed away surrounded by his loving family on April 16, 2024
while battling cancer.

Born on March 10th, 1956, in Paterson, New Jersey, to Anthony and Lillian (Pennacchio) Fazio. He
was a devoted husband, beloved father and pop, a friend and mentor who touched the lives of
many.

Phil graduated from Montclair State University studying accounting and finance. He served as chief
financial officer to many organizations, most notably in Syracuse, New York at SRC, where his
legacy is one of leadership, care, and kindness.
Phil was a frequent concertgoer, an avid golfer and sports fan, but mostly enjoyed spending time
with his family.

Phil is survived by his wife of 41 years, Meg (Beronio) Fazio; his children, Kelly Vespole (David), John
Fazio (Jennifer), and James Fazio; and his beautiful grandchildren, Avyana, Violet, Olivia, Vincent,
Benjamin, and Margaret, who were the twinkle in his eye. He is also survived by a loving and
supportive extended family.

A celebration of life will be announced at a later date.
From coaching youth sports to mentoring future leaders, Phil’s desire to improve the lives of those
around will be sorely missed by all who knew him. His humility, wit, and generosity will always be
remembered.

“And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make”

    I was so sad to hear the news of Phil’s passing. I worked in the deli at SRC and loved when Phil came in - always happy and joking with me about “no soup for me” and telling me to watch the Seinfeld episode. I will do that in his memory. Phil was such a wonderful man and will be missed. My condolences to his family he loved and spoke of all the time.

    I am very sad to hear of the passing of Phil. I will miss him. We spent countless of hours discussing work, families, community events, politics, golf and the Yankees.

He will be missed by all. Rest in Peace.

    Submitting again seems like first attempt didn't transmit -
    You were like a third brother Phil. I am so saddened - yankee games, batting cages and even umpired my little league games.
    I hope you never lost sight of how much you were loved as our cousin
    Rest in peace.
