I met Dr. Fauls while attending J. Sargeant Reynolds Comm. College where he taught Psychology. Dr. Fauls was a very insightful man and had an enormous amount of knowledge to share with his students and friends. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Dr. Fauls listened to my father on the radio. I felt honored to spend time talking with him and those memories will stay with me forever. My condonences to his wife and loved ones..

I took a psychology course taught by Dr. Fauls at J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College many years ago. I recall his kind, encouraging and compassionate approach toward each student. He had a gift of reaching (and teaching) students at their own level of understanding, irrespective of whether their intellect was as keen as his own. His interest in sharing his insights and knowledge with us in a collegial manner made the course an enjoyable challenge.
My condolences to his family....
