Man's greatest achievement is what he produces in life. Lloyd's was Lisa, Gregory and Amy. And through these wonderful children came his loving daughters-in-law, Shell and Laurie and his loving grandchildren, Jessica, Angelica, Dominic and Nicolas. Lloyd told his children in September how he wanted to celebrate Thanksgiving with them. So at this Thanksgiving, please pray for Lloyd's soul and for his family. He is at peace. His loving sister, Susan

Dear Lisa, Greg, Amy and family,

What nice, beautiful memories, Lisa. I’m so very sorry for the loss of your beloved dad. I’ll always remember your dad fondly; both for his humor and that he was a great “neighborhood dad” to his kids’ friends too. I remember the 4th of July parties, your birthdays / slumber parties and dinner with your family and lots more. Through it all he was kind, fun, welcoming and never seemed to just “tolerate” those of us who seemed to always be hanging around.

My thoughts and prayers for healing are with you all during these very difficult first weeks.

Lisa,
I'll always remember your Dad in your home in Burlingame. He was so handsome! I saw him at your birthdays and at school performances. I know that he will always be alive in your heart and you in his. I continue to think of you often during this time. Big hugs to you.

While I never knew your father, I have come to know you very well over the last few years. He must have been a good man to have helped raise such a great daughter. My sincerest condolences on the loss of your father.

Forever smiling

This has been a very difficult time for the D'Augusta family. I would like to thank all those who honored my father with their notes, visits and attendance at his funeral. This is the piece that i shared with my family and wonderful friends at the celebration of his life. A heartfelt thank you.
My name is Lisa D’Augusta Hearne. Lloyd D’Augusta was my father and I, his daughter. I loved my father more than any words can truly express.
My brother Greg and sister Amy and I got together the other night and flipped through photo album after photo album so lovingly assembled by our mother Judy D’Augusta and the more recent years captured so beautifully by my sister in law Shell. Each page of each book caused us to pause and comment, so you can imagine it was a late night. For me it was probably one of the most powerful nights of our journey.
We had a great life growing up. The first few photo albums were largely San Francisco based, as we, along with our parents are natives. As we flipped through we relived our childhoods, once again hugging our grandparents, Dominic and Marie D’Augusta and Charles and Aileen Scott, and our Aunts and Uncles and then eventually, the cousins that came along. Our family was pretty typical of many others in the 60’s. There were the christenings, the holidays and the birthday celebrations, as well as the outings to The Palace of Fine Arts and the Marina Greens. First trikes, kite flying afternoons, trips to Lake Tahoe and our first dog Sasha. Sunday was church here at St. Vincent de Paul and often dinner at Greenwich Street with our family. Life was good.
Six months after Amy was born we moved to Burlingame. Hello ‘70’s. Dad commuted to the family furniture business at the Westlake Maple Shop in Daly City, where he worked 6 days a week for years. Some of our fondest childhood memories were made at that store. I was so proud to walk in with Dad as he greeted the people who worked for him for so many years. I like to think that this is where my professional training began. I started out with dusting and given the size of the store, that kept me busy for hours. I graduated to restocking the candy sticks and sugar cubes and eventually proudly accepted the task of processing the stores bulk mailers. The conversation that night was about how many mailers we thought we had shipped out. The highlight was the paycheck at the end of the week
Life in the suburbs kept us all busy. Soon we were introduced to frozen dinners and then Burger King opened. Nothing better than driving through in the station wagon and picking up dinner for 5. There were the annual first day of school photos in front of our door, Dad’s Wednesday night cooking adventure, Cub Scouts and 1st Holy Communions. Big parties were a pretty regular event at our home. St. Patty’s Day was always properly ushered in -Thank you Fr. Mahoney! and 4th of July bashes were filled with fireworks, ping pong matches and rematches and so many laughs.
There were those heroic moments, when Dad had to talk me down a hillside on Angel Island because I had frozen in fear or when he had to jump into the ocean to save me from the pull of the riptide at Half Moon Bay. Did I mention that he was my hero?
Then there were all of the sporting events! Dad would sit in the stands or coach from the side depending on what we were playing. From basketball to volleyball to softball and baseball, Dad was there and our biggest fan. When we would all hang out in front, practicing the sport of the season, Dad encouraged us all to play. Nothing better than running outside at halftime and throwing around a football!

My father’s competitive spirit continued later in life as he trained and showed his beloved Portuguese Water Dogs. These faithful companions would travel the country and enter the jr. events and slowly but surely move up through the rankings both in agility and water events. Through the years Shadow, Storm, Star, Seabee and Dancer would not only win ribbons and new titles but were considered members of the family. Dad’s passion for this sport was shared with his wife Karen, who encouraged him to compete and supported his quest for Top Dog.
I have come to realize that much of my love and enthusiasm for so many things I inherited from my Dad. My passion for cooking came through watching him experiment and then proudly serve up his finished meal to us unsuspecting taste testers. Another love was time spent in the garden. This started at a pretty young age. We would either be tasked with a chore of picking weeds or gathering fallen leaves and usually the Giants or the Niners would be on the radio, as Dad was a HUGE fan of our local teams. Like to think the 2010 Championship Giants pulled this one off for Dad.
So while we so enjoyed our visit to the past, remembering my Dad’s entire life and the people in it, I also remembered my father as a man of faith. Sunday mass was a constant for so many years. We were raised to respect one another and to believe as our catholic faith encouraged us to believe. My hope and prayer is that as god was calling him home, that Dad remembered that after the pain, there is freedom and that life as Jesus tells it is everlasting. It is with this thought that I know it is not good bye, but rather save me a good seat and I know I’ll see you when I see you. I love you Daddy.

We were shocked and grieved to hear that Lloyd had died.
We knew Lloyd close to 40 years. We saw his children grow up and Amy was a good friend to our grand-daughter Kim. We moved from Burlingame to Napa and would hear from Lloyd every-so-often.
We remember all the fun we had, especially on St. Patrick’s Day when the Irish coffee would flow, good thing we only had to walk across the street to get home. We have a lot of fond memories with the D’Augusta family. We will keep Lloyd and this family in our prayers...

Lisa, Laurie, and Jess,
Although we spent little time with your father your stories kept us feeling connected with him. We are so sorry to hear he has passed. We believe that bonds cannot ever be broken and love will transfer from this world to the next. I am sure your father feels all that you have for him and will forever. Love you all, Frances and Carrie.

Lloyd was a very dear and unique friend.He will be sadly missed by all who trained our dogs with him.I thank him for all his extra pointers that he gave to me and did it with his own sense of humor.He was a very nice ,kind gentleman and a perfect husband for his wife Karen whom shared their passion of training and showing Portuguese Water Dogs together.

While I only knew Lloyd for a very short time, his kindness and sense of humor will stay with me forever. He will be missed dearly by those that had the pleasure of knowing him, but he will live on in all the wonderful memories we shared with him.

So sorry to hear that Lloyd had to die so young. We are sorry we will
not to back from Fort Collins to be present at the funeral. We have enjoyed Lloyd's humor at social functions, entertaining phone
conversations and different meetings that Bill and I were able to share
with him.An aside from Bill: I appreciated the fact that Lloyd referred to me as the "old timer". We would joke that I was 4 years older than him. That hearty cackle of a laugh would bring a smile to a dull moment. Now he is at peace and his earthly journey has concluded. It is now up to us to grasp the meaning of life and live it as best as we can so that one day we will see Lloyd once again.
