Dear Stephanie,
I am so sorry to hear about your father. I remember meeting him when our Elms high school class visited the Radiology Department at City Hospital for Career Day. In fact, every time I get an x-ray, I remember how he explained the whole process to us. I also remember what a close relationship you shared with him. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and all the Kuster family. Broth was a kind man, with a great sense of humor. He was a role model to me as I was always amazed at the things he had accomplished in his life. He was a great blend of Aunt Gin's kindness and charm and Uncle Austin's wisdom and intellect. May he rest in peace.

Dr. Austin Howard Kuster was my beloved cousin. He was named Austin after his father and Howard after my father. We are so blessed and so honored to have had him as a part of our family. All his life he had been a kind, gentle, loving boy and man. We all loved him with all of our hearts and were so proud of all that he accomplished. This sounds like empty words, but they are not. This loved and respected man was exceptional and we all were so very lucky to have known him. We have a deep hole in our hearts without him. He is deeply loved and missed.

Stephanie,
My cousin Broth was a role model and a person I always admired. I'll never forget our trip to Florida, it was just what we needed to help heal from the deaths of your Mom and my Dad. We pray for his soul in Heaven and for God to bless his family and friends who grieve his loss. Jim and Julie Roth

Austin was a classmate of mine at Ohio State University. We graduated in 1956. We met again in Akron where I did a yearlong general practice residency in 1957-58. I remember him well and am sorry for your loss.
