Faustino “Austin” Fiore

Austin is survived by his devoted wife Ralphine; his beloved daughters Donna Fiore Patterson and Jill Fiore; his son-in-law Tim Patterson; proud grandfather to Emily Rose Patterson and Matthew Austin Patterson; and loving brother to Mary Rae Wollner and husband Gerard Wollner, and Arthur Fiore. Austin was blessed to have many wonderful friends and extended family, many who called him "Tex" or "Uncle Austin."

Austin was a kind hearted teacher at Elizabeth High School for 37 years, a career he was very proud of. His love and devotion to his wife, children, and grandchildren were an inspiration to all. His grandchildren, Emily and Matthew, were the light of his life and brought him so much happiness.

Anyone who was fortunate to have known Austin will remember a happy man full of life and love. He enjoyed telling stories and jokes, and sharing positive quotes of wisdom. A lifelong NY Yankees fan, Austin will forever be remembered as a kind, gentle, calm, and loving man.

No memorial service is planned at this time. There will be a celebration of Austin's life during the summer of 2021.
