Read MoreI remember Austin from my childhood (I am a year older than him)- I have not see/talked to him since we were kids. What I do remember is that he always had a smile on his face. I am sad for his family's loss, and you are all in my prayers. I am happy that Ted has his dogs- that was a nice note to add.

Austin was a great friend for the last 26 years my wife and myself will miss him very much. Austin was unselfish, kind, open-minded, a good listener, would drop everything he was doing to help a person out. It always seems like the good people die young. Our condolences go out to his family, we are very sorry for your loss.

Austin was always a kind and gentle soul. Not enough people like him in this world. I am thankful for the pleasure to have been introduced to Austin by Troy. These two are now in heaven laughing and talking shop. Thoughts go out to all of Austin's other friends who at one time or another had a chat or two with Austin in which you walked away feeling pretty darn good. This is how Austin was, he always left a smile on our faces.
Rest well Austin. Until we meet again 'sunshine'.

Sending our sympathy to all of you. We live on Oak Street and Austin and our son Scott were friends. Austin was such a nice young man and left us all too soon.

Why does God always have to take the great ones.... What a sweet, nice, loving soul this man had! Great times with Austin will never be forgotten by myself and tons of other friends he had in this city. What a soft heart of gold he had! I can still hear his laugh..... Prayers to all of his family.
