[750] Of in memory, of Faz

One of Ann Arbor’s best known personalities, owner of Hello Faz Pizza, is gone.

He told people to come when they had money, but especially to come when they didn’t. He was a local icon, a businessman who said his job was not to make money but to feed people.

Faz Husain, owner of Ann Arbor’s Hello Faz Pizza, died of pulmonary fibrosis Thursday. He was 54.

Husain had been diagnosed with idiopathic lung disease several months ago. He is survived by a wife and three children.

Although he no will longer stand behind the counter of his shop at the corner of West Liberty Street and Stadium Boulevard, friends and family said the cheerful pizza man will remain in their memories.

He will remain in mine too. Though I may not know him too well, I recognize his face and enjoyed his pizzas while I was in Ann Arbor.

May God bless his soul.
