Ralph, Debbie and Jordan, it's been a month now since Austin's light left his physical state here on earth. Although we can no longer hold him and hear his laugh and see his smile what he has left us with are are remembrances of his passion and zest for life and friendship. His love for cooperstown with his father and brother hunting, boating, motor cross (177), trucks, his mother's cooking (orange danish rolls), his many friends and his love for children and their admiration for him. Please know that his light will burn forever in the hearts of many friends and family and may this help to bring you all comfort for the rest of your lives. With Love, Aunt De

I am deeply saddened to hear about Austin. I was Austin's English teacher in 9th, and I just adored him. Austin had so much personality, humor, and smarts. When he didn't do his homework, he would bring me a donut. Such a charmer. My deepest sympathies to his family who I know love him so very much. My heart breaks for you.
