Church Point, La. Funeral Services will be held at 10:00 A.M. Monday, May 19, 2014 at St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic Church in Lafayette, La. for John Getty Faul, 69. Mr. Faul, a native of Church Point and long-time resident of Carencro, La., died at 6:30 P.M. Tuesday, May 13 at his residence. Father Gary Schexnayder will conduct the services with inurnment following in the Evangeline Memorial Gardens on North University south of Carencro.

He was preceded in death by his wife and best-friend, Delphine "Del" (Thibodeaux) Faul and his father, Glaston "Black" Faul. He is survived by his mother, Rosa Belle (Daigle) Faul of Church Point, his daughter and son-in-law, Alicia and Craig Lutman of Jupiter, Florida, his daughter Kristine Faul of Church Point, his grand dog and roommate, Zeus, and his other grand dog, Gumbo.

After graduating from Church Point High School, he went to Lamar Institute of Technology in Beaumont, Texas and turned his love of cars into a degree in diesel mechanics. Starting as a diesel truck mechanic, he quickly transitioned to many other areas within the company which took him out of Acadiana. As a "traveling Cajun", he shared his roots through his cooking in Arkansas and Texas. If you left his house hungry, it was your own fault.
He and Del returned to Louisiana and made their home in Carencro where he pursued a new career in insurance that took him all through South Louisiana imparting his understanding of the complicated Medicare insurance process to his varied customers. He maintained many of those customers' trust far after he retired to become the full-time, loving caregiver to Del during her battle with cancer.
After her death, he began sharing his strong, life-long Catholic faith that began as a young altar boy at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Church Point. He became a Eucharistic minister at Lafayette General Medical Center, Courtyard Manor Assisted Living and St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic Church.

The family requested that visiting hours be observed from 5:00 P.M. until 9:00 P.M. on Sunday, May 18 and continue from 8:00 A.M. Monday until the time of the services. A recitation of the Rosary will be held at 7:00 P.M. on Sunday by Deacon Bryne Winn.
