Faustino was a quiet man but when he spoke, he filled you with words of wisdom, kindness and love. He was a gentle giant who always sought fairness and respect for all.

His words were firm and truthful, with a reliance on the Bible as his compass.

Many friends and family share what an honorable man he was and how anyone would be blessed to have known such a man.

Throughout his life, Faustino was a bus driver, carpenter, mechanic, painter, plumber, seamstress, loving father, husband, counselor and man of God. Although he was a man of few words, he made an impact on many, especially young people, ask my cousin Angela. He was an avid reader who always sought wisdom and knowledge. As a historian, he shared politics and historical events, and loved discussing classic vehicles. He knew and accomplished a little of everything, a true jack of all trades.
