Frederick F. "Fred" Faccioli, Sr.

Mr. Frederick F. “Fred” Faccioli, Sr., age 92, of Utica, passed away on Monday, September 29, 2008 in the comfort of his home. Born in Utica on September 10, 1916, Frederick was the son of the late Francesco and Concettina (D’Orazio) Faccioli. He was raised and educated locally and attended Utica Free Academy. A proud veteran of World War II, he was drafted into the U.S. Army and served his country in the European and African Theaters of Operation from March 17, 1941 to January 12, 1945. During his service he was promoted to Master Sergeant. On December 18, 1943 he married the former Ann Trivieri with whom he shared 32 years prior to her passing on November 20, 1976. The couple had a true devotion for each other, and their greatest priority was raising and caring for their family. Fred always kept the memory of Ann close to his heart. Fred was an extremely dedicated and loyal employee of the Utica-Oswego Motor Express Co., retiring on September 10, 1976. An excellent provider for his family, he led by his exemplary work ethic, and his disciplined, organized, and independent nature. He always remained active, ready to lend a hand to family when needed. He enjoyed the long running tradition of Friday night fish fries with his family. One of his few pastime pleasures was rooting for the New York Yankees. He was a member of the Teamsters Local #182, and held the position of union steward for the Utica-Oswego Motor Express Co. He was of the Catholic faith. Fred is survived by his sons and daughters-in-law, Fred F. “Butch”, Jr. and Andrea D. Faccioli, and Carmen A. “Dusty” and Denise M. Faccioli, all of Utica; his grandchildren, Michael C. Faccioli, and David M. Faccioli, both of Utica, Rich A. Klotz, and Dan P. and Karmie Klotz; and his great-grandchildren, Areanna, Brendan, and Tristan Klotz. Survivors also include many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, several cousins, and in-laws, Elizabeth “Betty” Salamida, and Linda Trivieri, both of Utica. He was predeceased by his siblings and their spouses, Anthony and Rose Faccioli, Congettina “Tina” Faccioli, Joseph Faccioli, Vincent and Marie Faccioli, and Clarice and Sam Scampone; and his in-laws, Nicholas and Sadie Trivieri, Theresa “Lil” and Louis J. Mazzei, Alma Trivieri, Orlando “Lefty” Trivieri, and John S. Salamida. Visitation will be held Thursday (today) from 4:00-8:00 at the Eannace Funeral Home, Inc., 932 South St., corner of Hammond Ave. Fred’s funeral service will commence on Friday morning at 9:00 from the funeral home and at 10:00 at St. Agnes Church where his Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated.
