Richard Aug Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Richard was born in Preston, MN on December 16, 1933 to Gustave & Anna (Sikkink) Aug. He was a 1951 graduate of Preston High School. Upon graduation he worked at the Preston Creamery before proudly serving our country in the US Army from April 18, 1957 until April 9, 1959. On May 5, 1962, Richard was united in marriage to Carol Mae Jacobson at Christ Lutheran Church in Preston. Richard and Carol were blessed with three sons, Kyle, Craig and Gary. He worked at IBM in Rochester from January 4, 1960 until his retirement on August 1, 1991. Richard was the epitome of devotion. He was not only devoted to his family but he was a devoted servant to God. Richard served as a deacon at Church of The Savior, now known as Rochester Community Church. He showed his love of Christ by helping others, and putting others before himself. He loved working in his garden and watching his grandchildren play sports. Richard loved all sports, and he was a member of the IBM Quarter Century Club.
Richard is survived by his loving wife of 62 years, Carol Mae Aug, a devoted father to his three sons, Kyle (Nancy) of Lakeville, Craig (Sarah) of Pine Island and Gary (Christine) of Nolensville, TN, and a treasured grandpa to Michael (Jessica) Aug, Suzie Aug, Miranda (Ryan) Borgwardt, Robyn Aug, Brendan Aug, Natalie Aug, Nicholas Aug, Madison Aug, Haley Aug, Morgan Aug and Miles Aug and to great-grandchildren, Bennett Aug, Jackson Aug, Charlotte Borgwardt, Wyatt Aug, Olivia Borgwardt and Natalia Borgwardt. Richard is also survived by his sister, Faye Alden. He was preceded in death by granddaughter, Meghan; sisters, Alberta and Kaye, and by his brothers, Donald, Charles, and Conrad.

Dear Carol, I was so sorry to hear about your husband Dick passing away. It sounds like you two had a great life together making memories with your boys, their wives, your many grandchildren and those great grandchildren. I remember those very busy, but fun years we had working together in the 3DUnits back when Mayo was pioneering heart surgery procedures with those Amazing Surgeons. We were the epidemy of "teamworking" nurses who always put the needs of our patients first. We made lots of memories as co-workers and friends. Hugs Sue
