Mr. Faust had a smile that was infectious along with Nancy's! So many, many wonderful memories shared ---years of Thursday morning breakfast meetings with the guys -led by the infamous "Zizza." Meter reader stories. Laughter all the time....many times the sons joined the group. Great memories! Later, rooting the Exeter Volleyball girls on to victory. We are all very fortunate to know this entire wonderful family. Deepest sympathy to all.

So sorry for your loss, Faust Family. Mr. Faust (Tommy in later years) was my football coach at Penn Alsace back-in- the-day and an integral part of the old Penn Alsace gang. Will always remember how well he worked with kids...we absolutely adorded him as a mentor and coach! Remember how excited we were when we found out where he lived on 25th Street, and will never forget trick-or-treating there on Halloween. He meant so much to so many kids in our community.

So sorry for your loss and Mr.Faust was always so kind and was always there to cheer on good ole Mount Penn hoops. Plus his willingness to put up with all the Faust Fests was just part of what made him so special. Sending my thoughts and Prayers.

The Faust Family I was saddened to hear of the passing of Tommy. When I was a kid I was a summer help meter reader for UGI. Tommy took me out and showed me the ropes. His favorite word was HUSTLE. He became a good friend and whenever I would see him, he was still energetic and hustling. His smile was infectious. He will be missed. Rest in Peace my friend.
