Dennis Fonzi “Fummer,” age 66 of Baldwin formerly of Hazelwood, went home to meet his Lord and Savior on September 27, 2022.

He was the son of the late Adeline and Patrick Fonzi.

Beloved husband of Heidi Pido Fonzi; loving father of Karissa Fonzi, Laura (Matt) Fastuca and Jennifer Kochan; step father to David Pallof Jr. and Brittni (Daryl Goodwin) Pallof; Pappy of Carmela “Mena” and Jovanni “JoBoy;” dear brother of Patricia (Danny) Renziehausen and the late Ronald (surviving: Josie) Fonzi; also survived by many nieces, nephews and his special puppy Sophie.

Denny loved playing the drums and was known as “Fummer the Drummer” when he started his career at  Bishop Boyle High School. He played with multiple bands, and ended his last gig at North Way Christian Community – Dormont as he played for Jesus.  He was a true Christian man, holding Bible studies at home and regularly played drums in the church worship group. Most of all he had a passion for cooking and bringing his family together. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

Per Denny’s request, there will be no viewing. A funeral service will be held on Friday, September 30, 2022 at 11 am at North Way Christian Community – Dormont, 2865 Espy Ave., Dormont, PA 15216.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to North Way Christian Community c/o Year End Giving Autism Ministry.

I love you Uncle Denny. You were truly an angel on earth. Your laugh, your sense of humor, and the way you light up a room will always be remembered. This world will not be the same without you in it. Please tell grandma, Pap, Jean, and especially my mom and dad I love them so much. No doubt in my mind with all of you together, heaven will be filled with a lot of Italian nummies

Laura, I’m so sorry for your loss. Although it’s been a while, Denny always made me laugh every time I saw him and I know how much he adored his family. I’m holding you and your entire family in my heart and in my prayers during this difficult time. He will be watching over you with love.

You touched everyone you knew in a very special way. You were an incredible neighbor, and made great memories for me as well as Kristne. I know you will rock Heaven.
