Mr. Fauson was a wonderful friend and neighbor. He did not know a stranger and offered kind words and help to all who needed it. He would mow our yards when we were not able. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Vera, whom he adored, and his children and grandchildren (whom he also adored!). Sometimes it takes a village, and Ernie was our village. He took good care of us. RIP Ernie.
