He then served as the Chief Resident at the Medical Center in Beaver, PA before starting a practice in family medicine in New Castle, which has expanded throughout the years. He was a member of the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Family Physicians, the Lawrence County Medical Society and the Pennsylvania Medical Society.
Dr. Fazioli was passionate about sports, especially skiing and golf, and enjoyed travelling the world with family and friends enjoying these activities.

We would like to express our sincere condolences to his family. Dr. Fazioli was a long time customer at our shop, and we always enjoyed his visits as winter approached. He had a great love for the sport of skiing.

I’m very sorry to hear of Larry’s passing. I attended Duquesne U. with Larry and his sister, Gerianne. Larry was a wonderful person and though I haven’t seen him in many years, I will keep his family in my thoughts.

We were very saddened to hear of Dr. Fazioli’s passing. He was an excellent doctor. He was our doctor for many years. In 2010, we moved to Monroe County to be closer to family. Our deepest sympathy to his family and partner. We have made a donation in his name to the New Castle Public Library
