Fred Anthony Clarizio

Those of us who knew Fred from the construction business knew that building things was his first love. He was happiest when he was hammering and sawing... He once told me that the best day of his life was the day he left behind the food industry of his youth to become a carpenter... and that if he ever had to go back to that profession, it would be the death of him. When the construction business turned bleak a few years ago, Fred found himself back in the food industry... Sadly, I am...

Dear family member, we are a small group of praying Christians who meet weekly for bible study and prayer. We are all members of Neighborhood Church on Ronda Rd. in Anderson. Because we are members of your community and are grieved by your loss, we are going to pray for your family and ask God thru Jesus Christ our Savior to bless your families and to return your joy as time passes. We in the group have all expierenced the death of loved family members and know what a troubling time it...

I was shocked & sad when I found out about Fred's to early passing. I worked with him on the plans for his restaurant. He was passionate about using only the highest quality food for his future patrons. He worked hard for this project. Any one who ate there had great praise for the taste of the food served. I enjoyed talking to him. I am glad to have known him.

We so enjoyed Clarizio's meals but especially because Fred's warm welcome made it feel like being home. Too soon. He left too soon. Our thoughts are with his family during this difficult time.

We will always remember the wonderful times we had at Clarizio's - the many times we enjoyed the ambiance and welcoming feeling. Bob will never be able to hear or sing Torna a Sorrento or O Sole Mio without hearing an accordion and seeing Fred's smiling face looking at him and nodding. Our heartfelt condolences to Pat and all the Clarizio's staff. We will miss Fred so much.

Fred wasn't just a family friend, he was family. He was the uncle that I wish I had. He was caring, loving and funny. I'm sure going to miss that smile of his.

Fred was more than just a family friend, he was family. He was like the uncle that I wish I had. He was caring loving and all loved him.

Fred had a passion for life and treated his customers like family. May his soul rest in peace and his legacy live on.
