F

ormer Michigan senator Jack
Faxon, 83, of Birmingham, died
Jan. 9, 2020.
Following are excerpts of a 2018
profile of Sen. Faxon written by
contributing writer Judy Greenwald:
Former Sen. Jack Faxon could look
back on his life of public service
with pride: former legislator, one of
the last surviving delegates of the
Michigan Constitutional Convention,
elected to the Michigan House of
Representatives in 1964, a member
of the Appropriations Committee
for Education, composer of the bill
establishing the Michigan Council
for the Arts, to name just a few
highlights.
The energetic, personable Faxon
was an avid art collector as well
as an artist in his own right, and
his Birmingham home was a true
showplace, with a priceless collection
of sculpture, paintings, stained glass
and oriental rugs, ranging from
ancient pieces to modern works,
including his own. He even had
his own art exhibition in the State
Capitol back in 1965, which featured
his abstract paintings.

Art was only one of Faxon’
s
interests. His parents came as adults
from Russia, and they instilled in
him the importance of education. In
1956, he became a teacher of social
studies at a Detroit middle school.
Faxon noted that his good
performance as a student and
precocious nature as a child
definitely enhanced his yearning
for knowledge and led him in
the direction of learning. This
connection with the academic world
was expressed in another outlet: his
founding of the International School
in 1968.
“We began as the City School of
Detroit and had 37 students enrolled
in kindergarten through third grade,”
he said, “and we were the first private
school with a foreign language
program in the U.S.”
The school moved to Southfield in
1981 and then, under the continuing
direction of Faxon, to Farmington
Hills, where it continues to attract
discerning families.
Faxon was proud the student body
consists of children from around
the world who are immersed in

a curriculum that promotes
multilingual studies, leading
to increased cognitive
development.
“We believe that in our
increasingly global environment,
the quality of success will be
determined by one’
s ability to
understand and communicate
with people from different
cultures,” he said. “Our
multicultural, multiethnic
environment looks ahead to
the world of tomorrow, and we
remain committed to foreign
language proficiency in an
academic setting that stresses the
broad liberal arts as we advance into
the future.”
Faxon also enjoyed a lifelong love
of theater. He was a theater usher
and became an opera buff. Faxon
e loved attending performances at
the Met in New York and was able
to translate that love into real life by
being on stage. He performed as a
singer and dancer in such venues as
the Ford Auditorium in Detroit and
off-Broadway at St. Marks Theater
in New York. He noted with pride
that one of his first roles at MOT in
the late 1970s was Prince Orlofsky in
Strauss’
s Die Fledermaus, and a recent
performance showcased him as the
godfather in The Nutcracker ballet.
His opening nights were some of the
most exciting of his life, he said.
Faxon was the devoted brother
of Lorraine Meisner; dear uncle of
loving niece and nephews; and was
also survived by other loving family
members and friends.
Interment was at Hebrew Memorial
Park. Contributions can be made to a
charity of one’
s choice. Arrangements
by Hebrew Memorial Chapel.
