All of these accomplishments describe Kenneth Joseph Faust, MD, who achieved much in his 85 years before passing away Oct. 31 in Florida.

Upon graduating from Lehigh with honors in 1955, Faust earned his doctorate degree at the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1959, then served in the U.S. Navy. It was at this time Faust decided to focus on the eye, becoming a renowned ophthalmologist who did pioneering work in the treatment of cataracts.
Faust was inducted into the Pennsylvania Wrestling Coaches Hall of Fame in 1997, and welcomed into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame as Outstanding American in 1999.
A memorial service for Faust will be held at noon Thursday, Nov. 15 at St. James Episcopal Church in Leesburg, Fla. In lieu of flowers, the family requests contributions made in Dr. Faust's memory to either St. James Episcopal Church or the Alzheimer's Association. Online condolences may be left at www.beyersfuneralhome.com.
