May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well-lived. Worked with John and Affiliated Inventors for many, many years. What a super guy.

Col. Farady was my first baseball coach at the Air Force Academy back in 1961. I played on a team that went undefeated with his son Mike. Later he was a teacher at Corpus Christi when I was in eighth grade. God Speed Col.

I was in Mr. Farady's 8th Grade Class at Corpus Christi during Fall 1969 through Spring 1970. Mr. Farady was a joy to have as a teacher. I remember him explaining that his internal organs were reversed and so they were on the opposite side of a normal body. He also often spoke about his love of inventing things. I will always remember him as one of the best teachers I have ever had. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I was in Mr. Farady's first 8th grade class at Corpus Christi in 1967 when he taught at our school for the first time. He let us watch on tv his beloved Boston Red Sox play the Cardinals in the World Series that year. He was the only one rooting for the Sox and we gave him a ton of grief for that!! He also told us he had internal organs that were on opposite sides of his body - that made science class interesting! Thanks for the time and effort you put into teaching us. We Corpus Christi "Critters" still remember you and pray for you now.
