25, 1947 in Orange, New Jersey to the late Theodore and Jean Carlock Faurot. He

In an interview at his junior high alma mater in 1968, he pronounced that his
intention after the war was to “live it up” and that’s what he did.
He was an avid sportsman, who enjoyed fishing, hunting, gardening, and building

Hollow Farm and Loft Accommodations in Fly Creek, NY, before retiring and
