He grew up in the South End and made lifelong friends there. Auggie graduated from South High School in 1962 and remained close to his friends throughout his life. He worked for the Bureau of Workers Compensation early in his career and then finished his career at Frank Gates Service Company. Auggie loved to dance to doo-wop music, he loved golfing, and going out to lunch and dinner with friends. He loved Myrtle Beach and enjoyed many vacations there. Auggie suffered with COPD and Pulmonary Fibrosis. A memorial service will be held at a later date due to Covid.

Just found out from Harry Bradley about "Aug, The Dog" passing. Both Harry and myself, David Green worked with Auggie at Frank Gates Service Company for over 26 years until our retirement from the company in 1994. Auggie was the best at the game of golf and always dressed for the occasion. David Green; Palm Harbor, Florida.

A Great friend and classmate. Even though we hadn't seen each other for years, Auggie always had something to say and recognized me. He will be missed.

My dear friend.

Auggie was a friend for many years. We enjoyed a lot of trips together from The Copa in New York (1st. trip) to see Sam & Dave, through the 80's and 90's for a lot of Golf and Fun in Myrtle Beach!
Auggie had the ability to make friends where ever he went and enriched the lives of many people with great memories!

Auggie was an icon of the South High Bulldogs Class of 1962. Perpetually in motion throughout the school hallways and could be heard talking from two floors above and below wherever he was. It was my pleasure to know him and his death saddens me.
