Albert Austin

We just learned of Mr. Austin's passing upon my father's return to the Vet Home. He was a fine gentleman with a sweet spirit. He sat at my father's table in the dining hall. My father (CWO BJ VanSandt) and I send our deepest sympathies to your family as you grieve for the loss of this sweet man. His contribution to the table conversations will be sorely missed. Hats off to you Mr. Austin on your final journey home.

Dad,
You were always my hero, I miss our daily phone calls, you are truly the greatsed of the greatsed generation.
All my love,
Ronnie

To my Pop, we love you and will miss you! You would have been gleaming from ear to ear to have seen the soldiers at your service. It was incredible and completely fit for an American Hero like you. Give my Mimi and great grandmother a kiss for me. You will live on in my memories!

May the God of comfort grant you peace in your time of need. We know he will.(1 Cor. 1:3)

Very friendly for a raw young nurse

My heart goes out to you for the deep loss you must be feeling for your beloved Albert. How sad to lose someone so loved and so needed. May you find comfort in prayer and in one another. (Jeremiah 29:12,13).
