Fred James Muratore

Fred J. Muratore, 71, of Syracuse, passed away Tuesday, December 11, 2018 at Upstate University Community Campus. A lifetime resident of Syracuse, he was a graduate of Valley High School and attended Mohawk Valley Community College. Fred was a financial advisor with Key Investments, retiring in 2017 after 25 years of outstanding service to his clients. He was an active member of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church. He was also a classic car enthusiast. Fred proudly owned a 1953 Buick Special and a 1953 Hudson Hornet, installing seat belts so he could buckle his grandkids in for rides with Poppa. A devoted family man, his love for his family had no boundary. There was rarely a moment that Fred was not actively involved with his grandchildren, teaching them life’s many lessons, right up to his final days.

Fred was predeceased by his parents, Fred and Grace Muratore; and his sister, Catherine Soccocio.
