My condolences to the family. This is a great loss; a great man, human-being, father, and husband, a good friend and brother-in-law. He was also a great teacher - not by vocation but by example and the wisdom of his advice. He was also a NICE person, and a friend. Austin was missed during his illness and will truly be missed as the Lord calls him home. I am thankful to God that our paths crossed. He will certainly be remembered. My nephews are blessed to have parents like Austin and Ollie, and they will always have the gifts and wisdom that their parents have instilled in them. Peace and Love.
