May God grant Augie eternal peace and may perpetual light shine upon him. Amen. He was the first in the family to attend college, which was a source of pride for us all.

Just by chance today, I searched for my cousin Augie. I had lost track of him when he moved from New Jersey.
I took great pride when I was younger and Augie was the beat writer for the New York Mets with the New York Daily News. He wrote his daily articles under the pen name of Augie Borgi.
RIP

Dear Borgognoni Family:
I remember Augie when he wrote about me as a football player at St. Joseph's HS in the early 60's. Always pleasant to talk with and a credit to his craft. I'm also a Union City guy and Emerson HS was a few blocks from 17th Street where I grew up. My prayers are with you during this difficult period. May Augie rest in Peace with the Lord. Gerry Bellotti
