E.J. Faust, 92, Suwanee, Ga., formerly of Hollidaysburg, died July 25, 2012, in Georgia.

He was born in Indianapolis, Ind., in 1919.

Surviving are his wife, Mary Joyce; two daughters: Susan Edmundson and Nancy Shutt; Patrice, Rachel and Michael Bucheit; eight grandchildren: Erika Geist, Tiffany Michel, Lillian Neaffer, Hillary and Tessa Shutt and Richard, Margaret and Cole Edmundson; eight great-grandchildren; a sister, Mary of New Orleans, La.; and many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his first wife, Margretta, in 1986; his second wife, Madelynne, in 2008; two brothers: Armin and Victor; and a sister, Kate.

E.J. graduated from the University of Michigan and was a U.S. Army veteran of WWII, serving in the Pacific Theater. He served his country for four years before beginning his lifelong career with the Maytag Co. He was active in every community he lived in and was a leader in both his church and his family. He was a member of Duluth First Baptist Church and previously had been a member, deacon and elder at First Presbyterian Church of Hollidaysburg.

E.J. made friends wherever he went and will be sorely missed by his family, yet fondly remembered as a loving and caring husband, father and friend.

A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 5, 2012, at Jethro's Restaurant in Altoona. Interment will be held Sunday at Presbyterian Cemetery, Hollidaysburg.

Per a Find-A-Grave member:
E.J. was one of the most moral people I have ever known. He had only been married to Aunt Madelynne for two years when she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. He cared for her, mostly at home, till just before her death when she became bedridden.
E.J. Was also involved in a number of community activities including Habitat for Humanity and his church. He lived in Hendersonville, North Carolina for many years.
