Ronald Fazio Obituary
Ronald C. Fazio's son, Ron Jr., is getting married on Oct. 14. So Mr. Fazio spent the last few months as his son's trusted wedding consultant — touring reception halls, interviewing florists, considering limousine services. When his three children were young, Mr. Fazio never missed a baseball game, a school play or a prom. "He was the ideal family man," Ron Jr. said.
In recent years, Mr. Fazio would ride the train from Closter, N.J., to his office at Aon Reinsurance, on the 99th floor of 2 World Trade Center, and two of his grown children would ride in with him. "He lost his father at the age of 9," said Mr. Fazio's wife, Janet. "When he had his children, he used to say to me, `I don't know how to be a father.' Well, he did a better job than a lot of men. When my parents were sick and dying, he would be the one to go for me if I couldn't handle going because I was devastated. He was a family man for all of us." Mrs. Fazio corrected herself: "He is."

Like some others posting here, my memory of the mid-1950s is clouded by time (and, OK, by my age too!). But I do remember those days as enjoyable, doing what kids of the time generally did in and out of the school that was the social center of many of our lives. And each time we reached the last days of class before summer, an extra amount of fun was evident. I'd been given a simple camera by my folks, and on one such day took it to school. When classes let out, and even during lunch time in the school yard, I took photos of teachers and classmates. I'm adding to this site one, from a negative clouded by time like my memory but from circa 1956 in the PS-68 schoolyard, that shows Ron to the right with friend Richard Buck center, and a fellow (left) whose name escapes me. But it shows the camaraderie we shared.
In high school at nearby Mt. St. Michael's, the few of us from PS-68 drifted slowly apart, pursuing other interests and college careers. And afterward, we all largely drifted on our separate ways. Tragically, the next time I heard Ron's name was in connection with the attack on the WTC. I, like so many others, was stunned, watching in almost disbelief as the Towers came down. And more stunned to learn the names of the 6 Mt. St Michael's alums who lost their lives that day.
But I was not surprised to learn that Ron, like others, selflessly gave their lives trying their best to aid others. Acts of bravery and thoughtfulness that will forever remain examples for the rest of us.
I've never been to the memorial site-- I saw and heard all I could bring myself to see and hear as events transpired. Rest in peace, Ron. And know that you will never be forgotten.

Each time the anniversary of 9/11 rolls around it is made more precious because of the one person I know the most about - Mister Fazio. His death (and his family's loss of the most important central figure in their lives) brings home to strangers alllllllllll over the nation and world, the value of a single life. One man's good deeds and life-example CAN make a difference. I pray god's blessing for all the Fazio household. For them, the lyric in Willie Nelson's song (regarding a death) says: 'It's not something you get over;, It's something you get through." I wish much continued success with the organization established in Mr. Fazio's memory. May he live on- through inspire'n others to live lives of sweet examples of kindness. The world seems more harsh and yet there is serious hope for a peaceable world through the actions of the Fazio clan. Perhaps 'the term 'A GOOD DEED' needs to be re-named 'A FAZIO'.

Ron was one of the most genuinely kind and caring individuals I have ever known. He never met a stranger nor forgot your name. Can it be almost 20 years already that you last held the door for others to live? Thank you, Ron, for all the kindness you brought to the world. Until the day we can all be together again.

I knew Ron because we were classmates for eight years in elementary school at PS68 on Seton Avenue in the Bronx, about 65 years ago. I knew him as a very happy person who was well liked by all our classmates. But I really did not know him well. We were just kids. We played ball in the school yard during ‘recess’ year after year. We had Mrs. Bush for science class. And Mr. Shapiro for phys ed. Mr. Casessee for civics. We gave Miss McGardle a hard time. Mr. Bolden in ‘shop’ was a good teacher. It is good to know that Ron had a wonderful and loving family and his life had a positive purpose. I’m thankful for that.
I now live in Arizona. I don’t have much opportunity to go back to New York. I have been to the 9/11 memorial in New York several times and it is so hard to understand how this happened. I have held my hand on that marker with his name. I think of Ron often, even though I have not seen him since we graduated from ’68. He was my friend.

It is so hard to believe it is 19 years. It is still so sad you didn't survive. I am so sorry that you and your family were so cheated. You were so we liked and respected by everyone in the office. You will always be missed Ron.

I read the article in the NYT earlier this week about the family who left Reese's in memory of a loved one lost in 9/11. I was so touched by the story. I had the pleasure of meeting your son, his wife, and baby Reese today as we paid our respects to all of you who sacrificed your lives for us. They were so beautiful and baby Reese she love you so much. We all joined together in celebrating your life. I felt honored to be part of your legacy for a brief moment.

Folks,
Yesterday, I looked at the website dedicated to Mr. Fazio / the organization created to honor his deeds. It was inspiring to know the work continues -- and for that, all involved are to be commended.
The 'new' (well, it is NEW to me) logo design brilliant; At first glance, I was wondering why the 'ines' had been added to the letter 'H.' THEN, I SAW THE OPEN DOOR - THEN RECOGNIZED THE ROOFTOP ANTENNA AND UNDERSTOOD THE 'LEGS' WERE THE TWIN TOWERS. This should win awards!
May GOD continue to bless all of you. Mr. F. is surely glancing back, glowing with tremendous pride...

Mr Fazio, I saw you remembering your dad on
Neal Cavuto. Your beloved dad is a hero now in Heaven. Jesus said "greater LOVE hath no man then he who lays down his life for another" Straight to Heaven.
I lost my first cousin of 46 of us, "Anthony Fallone" on the 105th floor of the north tower, 39, left wife and children. He worked for Cantor Fitzgerald. He never knew what hit him. (N-51)
Also a good friend of mine lost her Fireman son "John James Tipping" Ladder 4 , 32 yrs old.
May they all rest in PEACE.
PEACE & Blessings to you and your family.
GOD BLESS
Respectfully

I read about Ronald Fazio and I find myself proud of a man I never knew. I am so very sorry for the loss suffered by those who loved him, yet so glad to know he lives on in the hearts of others. He sound like a great dad, and I should know because I had a great dad too. I wish peace and love to Ronald's family today and every day.

It doesn't need to be an Anniversary date with 'special, easy to count numbers' for me - any time the World Trade Center is discussed, (after having read of this man's brave & caring deeds,) I THINK OF HIM.
Yesterday, I watched his son on one of the cable news TV channels discuss his Dad. It was good to learn from a family member, more details of the work the foundation had been accomplishing. Photos of the Fazio family today were presented and a lil' toddler was spotted. She is a wee Granddaughter -named 'Reece.' This name was bestowed as a tribute to her Grandfather because his favorite treat was'Reece Cups!' This baby's name was surprising, amusing and endearing as well as the perfect honor. The news video included a view of the memorial center's fountain, framed with names, including Mr. Fazio. Instead of an adornment of a mini-flag or a flower next to his inscription, a package of his favorite candy was marking his place. It made my heart smile.

I'm originally from West Hempstead, on Long Island, and now live in Rochester, NY. I visited the 911 Memorial for the first time on August 12 of this year. It was truly a sureal expierance, that I will never forget. But the moment that really got to me, was seeing flowers laid above a name on one of the paraphets of the Reflecting Pools. They were the only flowers on either pool at that moment, and I knew instantly that I needed to get a picture of this. When I got home from my vacation to Long Island, I looked up this person's name, and found out about Ron, his family...and his sacrifice. I have shared his story, the picture, and the work you do, with all of my friends. I would like to offer my sincere condolences to Ron's family, and friends. And God bless all of you, for the work that you do, in his spirit.

Janet- & Family,
Marguerite and I met you at a wedding this past weekend. I was so inspired by your loving spirit, love of Ron, and focus on the special things in you life. Your wonderful memories of Ron, your admiration of your children, and how you light up when you speak about your grandkids. After looking at the website, Hold the Door for Others, I am proud to say I know you, and feel connected to your family. I have been to the memorial in Closter serveral times in the past, just to reflect on Sept 11th. Now I know why I was drawn there and I feel a more special connection.
I bet Ron is as proud of you and your family as you are of him.
God Bless

I did not know Mister Fazio. This evening I heard of his last-known 'KIND ACT' (on the network news). I was so moved that this gentleman's death had inspired others to build a foundation to reflect what he did, I decided to learn more. WOW - what an impressive undertaking!
It is as though he left a gift behind in the wake-of-his-life... His children, friends and others-wishing-to-help are now toiling together, doing good and making successes large and small. The reflection of Mr. F.'s goodness have helped better lives all around the world.
I send you my condolences upon learning of the death of Mr. Fazio - my prayers are with you all and a big hug too!

Ron, it's been 10 years and I am still so sorry you didn't make it home. I will always remember your thoughtfulness, kindness and sweetness. I keep thinking how calm and composed you were while you held that door and stopped Roe from going back to get her bag. I believe you saved her life. You were always the leader and rock of your department, and you showed that leadership that morning. Making sure we all went down those stairs and never thinking of yourself. I remember you saying come on lets go. These last few days I have been thinking I never even thanked you for holding the door. I was just too scared at that moment. So I thank you now. I will always miss our talks about family and food. I miss you everyday Ron and I will always keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Until we meet again my friend.

Reading these tributes to you just makes me want to be a better person, a better parent. My goodness what a legacy you have left. I know that God has blessed you in Heaven and was waiting for you with open arms. Rest peaceably dear man and those you loved so much and those you touched in life will join you in the morrow.

Ron,
It is so hard to believe that it is almost 10 years ago since that dreadful day. I think of you every day, Ron as I am so grateful to you for my life. I know Ron that if it weren’t for you, so many of us on the 99th floor would not be alive today. Your bravery, leadership and concern for all of us was extraordinary. You got us all to the stairs and then you went around to get others to evacuate. This is true heroism and unselfishness.
Ron, you were an amazing man and human being. You live on in my heart and thoughts and through your beautiful family. I have faith that one day we will all be together again with our loving Father in Heaven.
God bless you Ron, my dear friend. God bless your family. Never forget 9-11.

I will say over and over again you were a CLASS ACT. You would much rather go home after work and be your family rather than do anything else. And how you loved your dog. Every conversation revolved around your wife and kids. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers now as always. I don't need a birthday or anniversary to remember you.

If we could get more people to understand how you understood what being a dad was truly about there would be a lot more joy and a lot less pain in the world. Your Grandkids are amazing.

Happy Birthday my friend. I came across the Happy Birthday sign that I hung up on the Kitchen wall for your last birthday, and I had to laugh through tears. I remember you laughing and saying you were going to kill me for those pictures. You always had that great sense of humor which made everyone joke with you. How I wish you were still here for me to hang that sign up again. You are still remembered so fondly in the office and I will do my best to make sure we continue to do that. You are too special a person to ever forget. You will always be remembered as a CLASS ACT.

I know the Fazio Family through mutual friends. I wanted to let you know that I will be running in memory of Ron on September 28th during the Tunnel to Tower Run. This event honors a fallen firefighter, Stephen Siller, FDNY, who ran from Brooklyn to Ground Zero with all of his gear to help rescue efforts at the towers. Like many he too lost his life on that day. Thank you to all the brave man and women of that day and the day to follow. May they forever live in our hearts.

Uncle Ronnie,
On a recent trip to Ortley Beach, I was reminded how strongly your spirit is alive in your family….For me, the memories that exude from your shore house are filled with happiness and laughter, and the love that you and Aunt Janet instilled in your children is still present, if not ever more resilient, today. On days like this, I try to hold tightly to those memories and know that no matter where we are, you are with us; in the warmth of a smile, the echo of laughter, and the tenderness of a hug. Missing you today and always...
