Robert John “Toot” Faust; On May 31, 2015, Robert John Faust, age 75, passed away at home surrounded by family. Robert was born at home in Sun Prairie on April 10, 1940 to loving parents, Robert Faust Sr, and Jane (Knapp) Faust.
Robert grew up in Sun Prairie making many lifelong friends. He graduated from Sun Prairie High School in 1959 where he excelled at athletics, including football, baseball and basketball. Robert appreciated being an American, and was very proud of the fact that he served in the United States Army, which included being stationed in Germany.
After serving his nation, he married the love of his life, Barbara Ann Havey, at Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary Catholic Church on August 15, 1964. He and his “Annie” raised four children while he worked for 30 years at Oscar Mayer in Madison. Together they were caring parents who often opened their home to the friends of their children, making the house on South Street a wonderful place for all.
After retiring from Oscar Mayer, Robert pursued his dream of owning a small business, Toot's Tap on Main Street in Sun Prairie. This neighborhood bar allowed Robert to continue what he loved, good conversation with good friends.
Throughout his life, Robert enjoyed sports as both a participant and a fan. He made many friends playing fast-pitch/slow-pitch softball throughout Wisconsin. For over 40 years Robert led a great group of buddies that hunted deer in the Briggsville area. One of his many passions included spending time with his nine grandchildren, supporting them as they pursued their many activities.
Robert's grandchildren quickly learned what the world already knew, the fact that Papa was a loving, caring man who would do anything for family.
Robert is survived by his loving wife, Barbara, and by sons Scott (Patty) Faust and Troy (Stephanie) Faust; and daughters Tamara (Dan) Mayr and Tonya Faust; as well as and by nine grandchildren, Coyt, Keylee, Nicholas, Haley, Nora, Kaelyn, Cole, Macy and Margo. He is also survived by brothers Gordon Faust and Norman Faust. He was preceded in death by his parents, and a brother, Richard.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be at 10:30a.m. on Friday, June 5, 2015, at Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary Catholic Church, 227 Columbus St., Sun Prairie, with Father Jim Murphy and Monsignor Duane Moellenberndt presiding. A visitation will be held on Thursday, June 4, from 3 to 7 p.m. at the Tuschen-Newcomer Funeral Home, 302 Columbus St. in Sun Prairie, and from 9:15 a.m. until 10:15 a.m. at the funeral home on Friday. Burial will be at Sacred Hearts Cemetery. Memorials can be made to Sacred Hearts Building and Grounds Fund or Agrace HospiceCare.
We love you Hubbo, Dad, Papa Toot.

My father, Jerry Reininger, loved going down to "Toot's" in his later years to shoot the breeze with the boys down there. My father lost his vision with age, and it meant so much to him to gather and have a laugh and conversation with all the day patrons at Toot's. He used to say to us he was "going to work" when he headed downtown. (He was the Barber downtown). My deepest sympathy to your family, and know he certainly helped my father enjoy many a laugh and good times. Jan (Reininger) Henrikson

Uncle Toot was a special man. I loved visiting him and his family. When I married their nephew, they welcomed me with open arms. I have fond memories of going to Briggsville with him and Aunt Barb and having a wonderful time. He and his family were good to my children's father, Ted and it did not go unnoticed by me. I only wished I could have spent more time in Wisconsin visiting with him an the ret of the family and that my children had gotten to know him. Toot and Barb built a family that they can be proud of and one that should be a role model for the generations to come. It is sad to lose someone so young and one who's family will feel a large whole that can never be totally filled because he was so special and irreplaceable.... one of a kind. Sophia

To the family of Toot.. This is a hard one for me to swallow, as the same illness that claimed Toot also took my little(younger brother Randy(Rino) as he was called. When I first heard of Toots illness,was when I called up the house to see how all were doing and Barbara Ann ,told me they had just gotten the results of some test Toot had done. I was so taken back that I had a hard time not to just curse the worst news I have ever heard. I would keep checking in with Barb and Toot and Julie and I made a visit, and Toot as he always was ,upbeat and said well, it is what it is and we will go forward..I will kick myself many times for not making more visits. I will always be grateful to the times when I bunked at Toot and Barb's South street home after the late nights of bowling or fastpitch games, I have many memories ,too numerous to mention here , and I will always consider Toot as one of my Bro's Sincerely and with deep sympathy . Bob
