My deepest sympathies in the passing of Austin. He and my dad, along with Ted Johnson, were the rocks of Allentown Baptist when I was a child. They were good friends, members of the men's club that did all the repairs around the church, and also members of the church choir. So many fond memories. The trio is together again, along with Barbara, singing by their side, and my mom sitting in the back pew with Mrs Leeming smiling. I remember telling my mom that I thought Mr Records was handsome. As I grew older, he always looked the same. Never aged. He will be missed but his memory will live on through his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. I wish I had known he served in the Korean War. I am an Army veteran and have two members at my facility are Korean War vets. Survivors. Heroes. God bless. RIP Austin

I will always remember his homemade ice cream on the 4th of July. He was an amazing man and I will cherish the time I got to be a part of the family.
