I knew David through ALL our school years. Due to alphabetical order, David sat behind me in homeroom throughout high school. That's when we became very close friends and respected each other's individualism and genuineness. He was funny, too. I can still hear him impersonate John Wayne. In fact, whenever I see a John Wayne movie or hear his name, I mention David's name. Although we lost contact after graduation, I NEVER forgot him. I thought about him often through the years and wondered what and how he was doing. I had heard he was living in Florida, but nobody had an address. I assumed he was still there. From what I've read here, he never changed. I'm so happy to know that he had a good life with a loving family and many friends.
Of all the male friends I remember from high school, David is the one who stayed in my heart and mind all these years. We never dated, he was more like a brother to me. I've been living in Cincinnati since 1992, so I heard about David's passing through a friend in Allentown. The years melted away and his death hit me hard. He was much too young.
My sincere condolences to the Faust family.

Dave had an exceptionally endearing personality leaving you with a warm, gentle feeling, wide smiles and belly laughs! He was always so happy when preparing his homemade lunch, as it seemed to show his loving connection with Ann. When asked, he would always lovingly say... "Yes, this is homemade clam chowder, etc. - yes, Ann prepared it" ~ totally crediting Ann for her good cooking! Their love ties were so evident! Dave was just an All-American apple pie sort of man... completely committed to family and job. Should you ask him anything at all... he went out of his way to see it to completion. Our hearts are heavy as we will not see that smile again, or hear his wonderfully-amusing Pennsylvania Dutch slang. Loss has been a part of my personal journey as well, but it has shown me what is Precious. My sincere prayers for continued strength, courage, comfort and conviction for the whole Faust family.

Dave worked for me years ago in the summer when he was home from college. He was a fun loving, happy go lucky guy who was a real pleasure to work with. He always made the day intresting. It is such a shame that the good always die so young. My deepest sympathies to his family. God bless you all.

It has been an absolute pleasure and an honor to be working with Creighton and Sharon Faust and the entire Faust family team for these past few years. They are truly some of the nicest and most inspiring people I have ever met in my life. Dave was no exception. His sense of humor was brilliant and amazing. I am shocked and saddend by this terrible news. God be with you, Dave... you will be sorely missed.

I worked with Dave for the past five years and there was not a nicer person to work with on a daily basis. His humor and generosity filled the office and made it a better place to work. He will be missed.

When Dave came into the office, I was never without a smile for long. It would come from the complete hilarity of his stories, antics, impersonations, or pranks. It would come from witnessing his non-discriminatory kindness. Often I'd smile because Dave was proof that genuinely good people DO exist in this world. I am better for knowing Dave and will miss him dearly.
May God comfort and be with Anne, Daniel, and all who loved Davey.

Anne & Daniel,
LIFE...so fragile. LOSS... so sudden. HEART...so broken.
In the wake of such a loss, we're haunted by things we don't and may never understand. Yet the solace we seek may not come from answers. So we look for comfort in the belief of love's everlasting connection. May that love lift you, hold you close, and give you peace.
His sense of humor will truely be missed.
Sending you love and healing thoughts now and in the days ahead.

"Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay a while & leave footprints in our hearts." Dave, you certainly did that with us as for the short time we knew you there was a certain calmness in you that we drew strength from. You were a pleasure to know and we will keep you in our hearts to remind us of the beauty of relationships.
We will keep your family in our prayers and wish them strength & peace. Usha Patel & Bob Wells

I only got to know Dave a short while, but was it great! I will always remember for his 52nd birthday celebrating at the Hedgehog eating ice cream and how Dave made us all practically fall over laughing....
To Daniel - your father loved you very much and the last time I spoke to him he talked of you more than you could ever imagine. Know that he will always be with you.
See you someday Dave! Thanks for the short but great memories!!!

Dear Ann and Daniel,
Dave talked about you both alot! Daniel-I lost my Dad at 18, now I look back with a smile on my face and the funny things he did. Hope you will be able to do the same. Seems we had some things in common...Creepy movies, nostalgia, silly cartoons. Ann...Many people here miss Dave - but so many fond/funny memories live on! You will always have "Last House On the Left" ...AND TO THE ENTIRE FAUST FAMILY...Love you all! My thoughts and prayers are with you today - as they are every day.

I KNEW DAVE FROM BACK IN THE SEVENTIES. I RAN INTO HIM A WHILE BACK WHERE I WORK AND STOPPED TO SEE HIM WHEN HE WAS LIVING IN SOUTH ALLENTOWN PRYER TO HIS MOVE TO READING. HE USED TO COME VISIT AT THE MOTORCYCLE SHOP WHERE I WORKED. DAVE HAD ONE OF THE BEST MINDS FOR HUMOR I KNOW. HE COULD ALWAYS MAKE ME LAUGH. I ESPECIALLY REMEMBER THE PARTYS WHEN HE LIVED IN THAT LITTLE HOUSE ON CEDAR CREST BLVD. DAVE AND I WOULD BOTH BE SLOW IN THE WINTER AT OUR JOBS,AND WOULD GO TO HESS'S PATIO FOR LUNCH JUST FOR KICKS. DAVE WOULD ALSO GO TO THE MOTORCYCLE RACES WITH US SOMETIMES. WHAT A RIOT. ANYWAY,GOD SPEED DAVE. I WILL MISS YOU.

I knew David when we were both Yankees fans, as kids, in Midway Manor. I always admired him. I was a very picky eater, shy, and he was outgoing, and would eat anything! He was such a robust guy. I had no idea he'd been ill. I'm so sorry. It's hard to believe.

My prayers and sincere sorrow go out to Creighton and his family. There is no explaination to why God brings home his children, when He does, especially at such a young age. David was an inspiration to us all with his strength, determination, kindness and laughter and will be very sadly missed. I know his spirit will live on. Those we care about & love, also never truly leave us, they live on in the laughter & feelings they shared, the memories we built, they live on in our hearts and souls forever. Energy never dies & we are all made of energy.

Life is journey, a course of events separating one from their cognizant surrounding, propelling them into the unknown. Each separation moves you forward in life toward a goal that isn’t always constantly clear. Sometimes, the event is a choice made with one’s own volition; on other times, it is an event over which there was little or no control personal control. These events nevertheless, make the journey, forming the person and influencing the life led.
During life’s trek, experiences contain a variety of unpredictable emotions, happiness or anger, joy or sorrow, or compassion or cruelty. Each event’s intensity of emotional duress can range from insignificant to debilitating. A person experiencing a predictable separation will move forward with anticipation and hopefulness. One’s fear of the unknown will move them through the separation with apprehension and hesitation.
Dave traveled a wonderful journey throughout his life. He made many friends and influenced just as many lives. He was a kind and loving person and always had an extra smile to share. He was many things to many people; acquaintance, friend, neighbor, son, brother, nephew, cousin, husband, and father. His life was joyously celebrated and has culminated much too soon. His earthly passing is only another separation, one of many he has experienced throughout his life.
He will be there, every step of your way. Watching from another dimension in a fashion that we may find hard to understand. His physical presence will be missed, but his heart and soul will live on through all that knew him.
We must constantly remember, nothing stops when we pass to the other side. It is only a separation from the life we know on this earth.
Godspeed David Faust. May the grace of God give you eternal peace in Heaven.
