Anthony “Big T” Fabrizio
Anthony “Big T” Fabrizio, born in Erie, Pa. in 1925, died in Bradenton, Fla. – his retirement haven for the past 25 years, on June 20, 2014 at 89 years of age.
Tony spent the majority of his life doing what made him (and others) happy; enjoying his WHOLE family, his wife, (Red, whom he missed dearly), his sports, his dogs, and his life in general. His success with his family at Fabrizio’s Rondevou for many years certainly gave him the opportunity and delight to share with his friends and family each day and especially on holidays where everyone was invited! Since my dad’s time here was a celebration of life, he made clear that he wanted no mourning for his death. Therefore, suffice it to say that Tony Fabrizio was a man who lived life exactly as he wanted to all the way to the end!
The family would like to thank everyone for their calls and their support during this period and would like you all to know that since he was such an avid sportsman and taught so many others the appreciation of life (animal or plant!) that in lieu of flowers, donations are certainly not necessary but may be given to the Sons of Lake Erie in Tony’s memory.
