Robert was born the eldest son of Walter and Hazel (Nelson) Faustman of Aurora, Nebraska. The Faustman Family moved to Chappell, Nebraska where Robert attended school and developed his great love of sports – especially basketball.

Robert married Barbara Erdman on May 23, 1970. Robert taught High School Social Studies and coached Volleyball, Basketball and Track in Oshkosh and Thedford. The family moved to Bayard and Robert began working for Burlington Northern Railroad in 1979. Upon Roberts retirement from BNSF in August 2009, Bob and Barb moved to Bellevue, Nebraska in order to be closer to their grandchildren. Roberts family meant the world to him, and he will be very dearly missed by his wife Barbara; daughters Corienne (Randall) Vance of Bellevue, Andrea Faustman of Bayard, Denise (Timothy) Savage of Eagle; son Michael Faustman of Lincoln; six precious grandchildren Sara, Christine, Lindsey and Daniel Vance and Natalie and Emily Savage; brothers Don Faustman of Lincoln and David Faustman of Manhattan, KS; sister Patricia Dryden of Sturgis, SD; countless other relatives and friends.
