A family man above all else, Austin, a native of Jersey City, was the fourth of four boys born to Joseph and Vincenta Faccone, who were the proprietors of two Italian family restaurants, Faccone's in Jersey City and Austin's in Long Branch. Austin graduated from Ferris High School in Jersey City and Seton Hall University with a degree in English. He studied film production at New York University in their certificate program and earned a Masters Degree in Media Studies from the New School for Social Research in New York City. His masters degree thesis was the original screenplay Downtown. Austin spent a long and successful career in television production, having retired as the Director of Corporate Television for Verizon in 1995. Austin is a published author, his most recent work being a family history spanning five generations entitled I Giordani. At Seton Hall, he met the love of his life, his wife Camille, and together this year they were celebrating 50 years of marriage. They moved to the Jersey shore after the birth of their first child and lived and raised their three children for 37 years in West Long Branch.
Austin was predeceased by his father and mother, Joseph Francis and Vincenta "Jennie" Faccone; his aunt and surrogate mother, Rose Giordano Taylor; and two brothers, Gerard Faccone and Joseph Faccone Jr. He is survived by his loving wife, Camille Marie and his children, Alitia Faccone of Rumson, Austin Faccone and wife, Kelly of Charlotte, NC, and Christopher Faccone and fiancée, Angela Draleau of Ocean.

I worked with Austin for many years in Newark, New Jersey and always found him to be quite the gentleman and always fun to be around. He took pride in his work and was always there to lend a helping hand. Understanding, funny, passionate, pride in whatever he did are only a few of his qualities. He made working there a pleasure. A good man. Rest In Peace my friend.

Austin combined a keen intellect and rare talent with a quick and hearty sense of humor. He'll be missed by all of us who knew him at NJB.

Austin was a great television director who brought NJBell and later Bell Atlantic out of the dark ages of visual communication. Austin also was a very funny, literate and gentle person; we need more of him in this world.

I was so saddened to hear about Austin's passing. He was my best friend since we were 5. We lived across the street from each other in Jersey City and were constant companions. He was my best man when I got married. Although we lost touch through the years, we had reconnected several years ago and it was as though time never passed.A few years ago when Austin learned that I was moving to S.Carolina, he became sad as did I. I'll never forget him telling me that now that I've found you, I'm losing you again. Little did Austin know that I felt the same.
To anyone that knew Austin, they loved and respected him,it was easy to do.
He was a thoughtful friend and a true gentleman. I will miss him.
Words can't express how much he will be
missed. My deepest condolences to his family
