August Reil Obituary
August John Reil III; son, brother, brother-in-law, uncle, all around great and loyal friend to many, lifelong resident of Cromwell, CT died unexpectedly on May 1, 2022 at the age of 56 at Hartford Hospital. Augie is survived by his father, August John Reil Jr of Cromwell, CT; brother, Arthur James Reil and his wife Linda (Guarino) Reil of Middletown, CT; sister Vanessa Jean Reil and niece Michael Elizabeth Gasior of Fort Myers, FL. He is predeceased by his mother, Jean (Hargreaves) Reil; Uncle Arne Geoffry Reil, grandparents, Althine (Loomis) Reil and August John Reil Sr, along with his Nana, Elsie Hansen Hargreaves. Augie was born at Middlesex Hospital, Middletown, CT on October 13 1965 to Jean (Hargreaves) Reil and August John Reil Jr. Augie grew up in Cromwell and attended Cromwell High School with the graduating class of 1984. He also achieved his Real Estate and Class A trucking license. Growing up near the CT River, he enjoyed the outdoors, absolutely loved fishing, canoeing and spending time with all of his family and friends. He taught himself how to fly a powered paraglider and always pushed his friends to try new things and find the next adventure. He was always the first to help his close friends and family with any project or challenge. Like his father, Augie was a master craftsman in engine repair, woodworking and gardening. He enjoyed making his annual iconic vegetable garden which would produce some of the biggest and best Pink Brandywine tomatoes (Augie's favorite), working on cars, building decks, wiring and insulating houses, putting up sheetrock and doing anything to help his family and friends. He truly became a "Jack of all trades" and could do anything. He always put the needs of his friends and family in front of his own and never asked for anything in return. He leaves behind many fond memories of fishing, riding quads in the snow, racing go-karts, dirt bike riding, canoeing, riding watercraft and countless good times around his fire pit with the people he loved. He also enjoyed the companionship of any animal that crossed his path and shared in his life. He leaves behind his beautiful boy Bullett who was his devoted companion, never leaving his side until the end. Services will be private.

Believe it or not a lot has changed here and I wish so badly that I had you back to help me..... just to get together and talk!!! I'm still in shock after 2 yrs. and probably will be for life. God I miss you brother. So many people miss you! We lost Cooper and I hope he's with you and Diesel. I guess that's all for now but man I sure miss you!!! Art

Thank you to everybody who has reached out with their condolences, prayers and thoughts. As of December 1, 2022 it will be a full seven months since Augie has been gone. I still can´t believe it and I think I am still in the shocked phase. On September 30 I had my first birthday without him in 56 years and on October 13 HIS first birthday without him. Then there was Thanksgiving. 2022 has not been good in many ways, but the passing of Augie was certainly the worst.
I miss you, bro... We used to talk on the phone every single night... Now there is nothing in the way of phone calls or text messages. I miss you so much and always will.
Again, thank you to everyone who has expressed their condolences. The family really appreciates you all. And so did a Augie.

Art and Linda,
Thinking of you on Augie's birthday. I wish you peace and solace that ultimately only comes with acceptance.
My brother, Don, was the elder of my family's "Irish Twins". He passed at 55 leaving his twin, Bill, and me behind. I loved him ever so much...he left a huge hole behind.
Just wanted to let you know that I'm still keeping you and your family close to my heart and in my prayers. I understand your heart break...

Dude, I’m back again. Had to do it. I was driving to the job site today absolutely cranking “Thunderstruck“ by AC/DC (probably your fave) and thought about THE New Years Eve Party at me and Linda’s house. I was laughing so hard. When the song first came on in the beginning you were absolutely pounding both of your fists on our bar down in the finished basement to the beat of the intro. I was getting so pissed and yelling at my wife, “You’d better do something with him. he’s going to break something”!!! She could see my anger but simply turned to me and said, “What do you want me to do? He’s your brother”!! Lol. Her brother too. Anyway, I posted this picture again because I don’t have a video and I’ve come to realize that Linda was with you and was actually kind of your cohort in crime that night. Haha!!! I mean just look at her smile! But I think the funniest part was when you realized how upset I was getting and you snarled at me, “What the heck is wrong? It’s a party”!! I said, “Well yeah But you’re going to break the bar”!! You simply looked at me with that smug grin and said, “What’s the difference? I’m the one that’ll be fixing it anyway just like everything else around here”!!! Anyway bro, this morning after thinking it through I was laughing my butt off. Not so funny then but totally acceptable now. You have been forgiven for pounding on the bar. Lol. Ha!!!! Stay THUNDERSTRUCK bro!!! Love you!!!!
Fly high and Fly far Bro!!!!

I´ve been looking through your old photo albums that you kept over the years. What do I say? For 55 years we were brothers, friends, a support system for each other and sometimes partners in crime!!! Ha! I´ll miss you always until we are together again..... PERIOD. Every day down here without you is a struggle. Your (our) friends have been so supportive and they miss you so much as well. We are all still in disbelief. As you always used to say every time you texted or called, "NOW WHAT"? lol. I don´t have the answer. Keep flying high and take that mint Honda ATC 350 X for a rip around like we used to. Tens of thousands of miles of riding we did. Rest easy now my friend... You deserve the peace!!!

One of our many fishing trips. This was when Ma Reil lived on great hill pond. Me and Aug would go fishing here just about every night! Good Times my friend!!
Jim Beauchemin
June 29, 2022
Someone reminded me the other day of a couple great memories/good times with Aug. One day we decided to take a trip down the Sebethe river, so we launched Aug's canoe from behind the sawmill pub, with a cooler full of beer. And Aug's VHS video camera (Art, I believe there's still a video of that trip on his shelf in his office). We came across several encampments where the unfortunate down on their luck were seeking refuge but not there at that time, probably on the streets just trying to make a buck to survive. We came across a plethora of carp and wished we had our fishing poles with us. We continued the trip through the Cromwell meadows and past the Middletown dump and out to the CT River. Aug called his dad to meet us at Harbor park so we could get a ride back to his truck. We had such a good time that we planned another trip a couple days later, but this time we went and launched from behind Walmart and brought the fishing poles. A few obstacles along the way, downed trees, low water levels, but again we made it to the meadows where all the huge carp were. Augie could catch a fish with a bent paper clip and no bait, me on the other hand would try every damn piece of tackle in my box with no luck!!...That's pretty much how all of our fishing trips went, Aug had one plastic worm and he'd get all kinds of fish, not me, but at least I got my monies worth out of those lures!!! LOL.......What I wouldn't give right now for ONE MORE (one of Aug's catch phrases, when I was ready to leave his house. "Stay for ONE MORE beer he'd say") Fishing trip with my Best Bud!!! Love you Bro!!

I´ve been reading all the messages as new ones come in and my heart is aching for Artie, Vanessa, Riddler and all those who knew Augie, even myself, my best friend is no longer available for advise or just someone to vent too, and vice versa. I´ve been thinking about all the great times, memories that were had being your friend. Playing spin the bottle in the van in your back lot with Leanne, Sandy and Kellyanne, back in the 70s. Riding on the back of your homemade chopper, up and down the twin hills. Learning how to do brakes on my vehicles and any other mechanical fixes you taught me over the years. The countless trips to Johnny Z´s cottage on the Salem River and all our crazy adventurous fishing trips. The Gelston House beer garden, showing up with no shirts and you asking the bartender if we could grab some waiters jackets to wear! LOL. I could sit here and go on and on, 40 something years of memories we shared, good, bad and the ugly. You are missed beyond words by all who knew and loved you. Hope you have found that perfect honey hole for fishing and a great place for the coldest beers. Until we meet again my friend!!!!

Broken-hearted doesn´t even begin to describe how I feel. I keep waiting for the pain in my chest to ease.... even just the tiniest bit, but it hasn´t and I don´t know if it ever will.
So unexpected. So sudden. So unfair.... I miss you beyond anything that can be put into words my brother. I never thought that I would be here without you... never even considered it. We were together physically for 55yrs. I still feel you with me, but I want you back in the same form as the last 5 1/2 decades!!! Until we meet again.....

Uncle Augie ~ thank you for the 10’ piles of leaves, my zip line, the tetherball, trampoline, the mini snow mounds you made for me when I was barely old enough to walk, my beautiful tree house complete with electricity (!!), the stilts you built me, the paths you cut through the Chamberlain Hill property so my Mom, Dad and I could walk and snowmobile, and dozens and dozens of other amazing things that made my childhood magical. I love you and I will never not miss you. Angelica and Bongo are with you and Diesel and I have no doubt Tubey and Wiggle Bottoms are once again smiling. You are so very special and I am forever grateful to have had you in my life. I love you. ❤

Big Aug, Vanessa, Artie & to ALL of AugIe´s lifelong friends.... I am so truly sorry for your tremendous loss & the hole that is in your heart. Like everyone, I am still in shock & in disbelief that Augie has passed away. His Obituary was Beautiful & described him perfectly to anyone that didn´t know him. A man so full of life, that brought a smile to everyone´s face. I hope Augie knew how LOVED he was & how many lives he touched. To know him you instantly had a friend for life... one of The BEST! We ran into each other a few years back & it was like no time had ever passed & we talked & laughed & had a good time! I´m happy I have that last memory to remember along with the countless times together many years ago.
I pray that you all can find strength & light in the days ahead & keep AugIe´s Beautiful memory alive!
RIP Augie Reil....Fly high with the Angels & know how much You´re Loved & will be deeply missed!!!

Missing the shout outs through the window and just the presence of him and the speeding bullet rushing across the front yard. Mr Riel, Vanessa and Artie . What a fantastic son/brother you had in your life. Smart knowledgeable and very crafty just all round fantastic guy. Sure am going to miss him. Shine on Augi shine on! Peace bro.

You were always there and ready to lend a hand whenever I needed anything. And there were always GOOD TIMES; you would hang out with us bringing your dog and your little igloo cooler......and always such memorable talks. You had a way of talking that made me laugh; some of the sayings are still stuck in my head! And sometimesit was just funny silly stuff! I'm deeply saddened that I wasn't able to say 'Goodbye'....... I have so many great memories ; times at your Bon Fires; going down the CT River.... remembering the 'Red Neck Yacht Club'. I will never forget hanging out with you and your friends and family! You were an amazing guy; you knew so much about so many things! I just want you to know how much you were loved...... you had so many friends and family that cared about you and I pray that you know this! I've missed you since I moved away; you were the REIL DEAL! Love you and miss you my brother.......God Bless you! Peace out Cubscout!

He credits Augie with showing him how to work on cars and fix things. He loved to fish with him and he taught him to have great work ethics. I would love to watch him eat my food when he came for dinner. He always ate his meal with a lot of gusto. He never forgot my birthday he would text me happy birthday every year. I´m so sad that he is gone. I will never forget him. He will be in my heart forever. Rest in peace Augie we love u very much.

Many of good memories from knowing Augie over the past 50yrs, he was always there for me when I needed a hand or to just talk me through a quick fix on some broken down equipment. Lots of great times fishing on the Salmon River or any body of water we came across. He was my best friend but I always thought of him as "my brother from another mother". There's a huge whole left in my heart and in Cromwell but I know we will meet again one day, I will cherish the good times until then, love you brother!! Deepest condolences to the Riddler, Artie and Linda, Vanessa and Michael Elizabeth and those who knew and loved him!! ❤

The Reil house on Washington Road was a huge part of my childhood! I have so many great memories one of my favorite memories is when we were teenagers my sister’s car was stuck in reverse so we went to get Augie to help he drove my sister’s car in reverse all the way to our condo in Cromwell Hills! When my Dad passed away Augie was the first one to reach out to me! He was a lifelong friend and I will miss him so much! My heart goes out to the entire Reil family especially Mr. Reil, Artie and Vanessa! Sharing in your sorrow!

Never forget the time he just got off his Honda Gold Wing from a 24 hour none stop ride back from Florida. That was Augie, adventurer and free spirited. A friend to people close and afar. Much too young to pass, Cromwell lost another good guy.

I will forever cherish the memories of our younger days and older! You were a true friend, always there when I needed a hand and willing to go the extra mile to help complete a project. You taught me a lot over the past 50yrs and I'm grateful for every bit of it! I looked at you as my best friend but really you were my "brother from another mother " Until we meet again buddy! My deepest condolences to the Riddler, Artie and Linda, Vanessa and Michael Elizabeth.

It truly breaks my heart. Augie's grandmother lived down my street and I have fond memories of Augie visiting and that old neighborhood. My sincere condolences to Augie's family, friends and to anyone who knew him. A kind soul and a great person..

I am truly very sorry to hear Augie has passed way before his time. He was such a nice guy! I’m glad that he stopped in my place for breakfast a few times!!! It was great to see him. I will be keeping his family and friends in my thoughts.

We are so very sorry about Augie´s death. He had so much more living to do. He loved his family including Bullet so much. As with all good people, he will be sorely missed.
May God comfort you through those that you love.
