He grew up in East Haven during the best years in that program’s history and went on to the University of Bridgeport where he was a starting defensive back for all four years. He was elected Captain in 1973 when his team played for the coveted Lambert Trophy signifying the best small college football program in the east. Well known for his relentless play and high level of sportsmanship, his brilliance as a player was matched by his intensity as a coach. After a short stint as a Division I football coach, he settled in Madison where he and his beloved wife Lori, raised their daughter Kristen, and son Michael. Faz was a quiet force behind Madison Youth Football from the beginning. He volunteered as a coach, and later became the league’s President. His lifelong friend, Wayne Larouque, commented that Faz so loved Madison that he once remarked to him, “There was nowhere on earth he would rather live.” He loved everything about Madison and it came through to everyone who knew him. Whether it was walking the Madison Country Club or strolling down Main Street, a moment with Faz was all anyone needed to have their spirits lifted. He had an unbelievable ability to cut through all the garbage and get to what really mattered. He was a man of few words but when he spoke, if you were smart, you listened. It is said that one can become smart with another man’s knowledge, but never wise with another man’s wisdom. His wisdom was the product of hard work, honesty, decency, and honor. He never pulled a punch, but even if he had to put you in your place you were grateful to have run into him. Fazio was simply a very good man who loved life and never missed a chance to share that love with others. He loved the boys he coached, mentored the men who coached with him, and had great respect for the parents of every boy under his charge. During his years as President of MYF, he distinguished himself as an innovator bringing more teams into the league and establishing a very high standard for coaches’ education and sportsmanship. He instituted the master coach concept and participation
