Age 78, of Rehoboth Beach, DE, died peacefully at his residence on Saturday, October 3, 2009.

Jake was born and raised in Philadelphia, PA, son of the late Jacob David and Lydia (Schroeder) Faust. Mr. Faust attended Dobbins High School and went on to receive an Electrical Engineering degree from Drexel University. He worked 34 years in the engineering department of Unisys Corporation in Malvern, PA before retiring to Rehoboth Beach in 1992.

Jake was an active member of the Lutheran Church of Our Savior, currently serving as an Elder and Eucharistic Assistant. He was instrumental in developing the Shepherd's Program at the church. He found great strength and peace in the Lord and spent many hours studying the Bible and enjoying fellowship with his dear friends at the church.

Faust; three daughters: Donna DeRafelo and husband Rich, Linda DeAntonio and husband Louis, and Patricia Fry and husband Keith; one son David Faust and wife Denise; 13 grandchildren; 1 great-grandson; and two sisters, Edna Soltanuk and Regina Kershock.
