There are so many wonderful stories about our friend Richard "The Rev" Faust. Everything Richard did always had a purpose - to live life fully, treat people with kindness and laugh every day. And somehow play a little baseball with your friends. Richard befriended me for life at The Orioles Fantasy Camp the moment we met. And he maintained that friendship for the next 23 years. The one story I will share is from the last day I saw him. My Mother would come to Fantasy Camp and Camden Yards to watch me play baseball. Richard treated her as if she was his own mother. He always went out of his way to find her to say hello. And he always found a way to make her smile and often laugh. My Mother was not able to make Fantasy Camp in 2019. On the last day of Fantasy Camp that year, I was talking to her on my cell phone outside the locker room. Here comes Richard. I called him over to say "Hi" to my Mother. I couldn't get him off the phone. He had her laughing. I could hear her on the other end of the phone. Genuine laughter from the soul. I don't remember what he was saying that made her laugh. But I do remember the last thing he said to her before handing the phone back to me. He said, "Good-bye Mom. Love you." When I got the phone back, I could hear my Mother choking up. Then I did. And then she said, "He is a good man. A good friend." And that defines my relationship with The Rev. It was the last time I saw Richard. Eight months later, I led a Memorial Service in Cooperstown for Richard. It was something I just had to do...for him. God Bless you my friend. I am a better person having known you. Thank you for being you.
