My brother, Joe Faust, of Faust Bros Repair in Pierz MN. passed away Tuesday, March 8th, 2005 after an 18 month battle with cancer. Collecting and repairing antique tractors was his only hobby. Many may not have known he was also a full time farmer. He would spend his evenings and spare time to research and cross-reference parts, filling orders even during planting and harvest season. He is survived by his parents and 3 brothers. 2 of his brothers, Pete and Bruce, are in the Ag equipment repair business. They are considering picking up where Joe brought the business to. www.faustbros.com will be updated. Please give them 2-3 months to sort things out before inquiring for parts. It will never be the same, Joe ran his entire business from memory. All of the cross reference and research information is with him. Because Joe ran everything from memory, we do not have a good list of people who called over the last 18 months to talk tractors and check on his condition. Thank you to everyone in this community that supported him. This community gave Joe some of the most enjoyable times of his life. Joe often spoke of the many friends he had scattered all over the world - literally. There wasn't a state or a country where Joe couldn't tell a story of someone he had done business. Visitation will be 4:00-8:00 Thursday March 10th and 9:00-10:00 AM March 11th at Shelley-Virnig Funeral Chapel in Pierz MN. Burial will be @ 11:00 March 11th at St John's Catholic Church in Lastrup MN. Thank You, Greg Faust
