Not sure what to say?

Samuel Ace Evans I was David´s driver and every time I would pick him up he would always have a good joke. I will never forget him

Dave you were the best friend and customer any driver could have. You are sincerely missed. Ace

I’d like to say that Mr. David Austin is one of the best man I’ve ever met in my life and I’ve been driving for 47 years so I’ve met a lot of men if you’ve never met him I’m sorry to say that would be your loss he was the best and may God bless his family .

Ace

I just want to say he was a great humanitarian and person to me and I havent met anyone else like him and I meet a lot of people in my work. I will always remember him and Im always talking about him to other people. Ace is number one driver.

I only wish I had notified David earlier. My sincerest condolences to Mr. Austern's family. It was four years ago today that my husband Chuck was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Both Chuck and David attended Georgetown Lombardi Cancer Center for their treatment, and David provided Chuck with encouragement and hope. Chuck's journey with PC was much shorter and he passed in December, 2011. My your family find comfort in the memories.

"Time does not allow me to express how much I looked forward to meeting David in Albuquerque."

Words cannot express how I feel when I heard the news by Mrs Austern. I lived and worked with the Austern's family for years. Mr. David Austern was the best person I had ever worked with. I will never forget you Mr. Austern. Thank you for your generosity, your support and your kind heart! R.I.P

On behalf of Rama Sané family and all who knew the AUSTERN family, we present our heartfelt condolences. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. My sister Rama is very much devastated by this lost.

I had the good fortune of growing up with David and family as neighbors and friends. His compassion, kindness, sense of humor, integrity and devotion to his family all had a profound effect on my life to this day, and I will never forget him. He was truly the last of a dying breed of gentleman.
With love and gratitude, Mark E. Schaaf
