    FAUROT, William Lorin, Lt Col, USAF (Ret)  09/25/08   Daily American
  
    William Lorin Faurot (Lt. Col. USAF Ret.), 83, Somerset, passed on Sept. 24, 2008, at
  Somerset Hospital. Born Aug. 20, 1925, in Pittsburgh, son of Gen. Lorin (USAF Ret.) and
  Vernita Faurot. Preceded in death by parents; and brother,  Robert. Survived by sons,
  William, Alabama; Lorin, Texas;  nephew, Robert, Virginia; and friend, Eileen Faurot,
  Texas. Also survived by his dear friend and loving companion of 32 years, Patricia
  Flavin, Somerset. Bill attended Franklin Regional School for several years and graduated
  from Greensburg Salem High School. He received a degree in Aeronautical Engineering from
  Oklahoma State University while in the Air Force. He enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1943 in
  Mobile, Ala., and later entered the Army Aviation Cadet Program. He was commissioned a
  second Lieutenant. During his 30 years in the military, he was attached to the French Air
  Force as a flight instructor for French aviators flying B-25's and AT-6's until the end of
  World War II. During the Korean War he flew B-26's and SAW C131's and in the Air Defense
  Command flew B-29's. In the Vietnam War, he flew psychological warfare in U-10's and
  C-47's. Following that, he was assigned to the Military Aircraft Command flying C-141's
  and C-5's. At the end of hostilities and prior to his retirement from the USAF, he was
  based in Bermuda as director of operations flying the C-54. Later, he was employed as a
  corporate pilot for Pace Pipeline for several years before his  retirement. He felt
  fortunate that he was able to enjoy the career he did his entire working career - that
  was flying. Bill will be remembered as a kind and compassionate man who was always a
  gentleman to everyone he met. Everyone who knew Bill loved him and his kind ways. At
  Bill's request, there will be no viewing or visitation. A memorial church service will be
  conducted at a later date by the Rev. Mark Zimmerman, Bill's good friend and pastor at
  Somerset Anglican Fellowship, where Bill was very active in church activities and enjoyed
  the companionship of the parishioners. He will also be missed by many of his friends  at
  St. Francis-in-the-Fields Church where he had been active in Bible study and Sunday
  school classes. Should friends desire, memorial remembrances may be made in Col. Faurot's
  name to    Somerset Anglican Fellowship, 305 Georgian Place, Somerset, PA 15501 or a
  charitable association of one's personal choice. Arrangements by Hauger-Zeigler Funeral
