Madonna and Family!
I’m so, so sorry to hear of the passing of Austin. He was a very good friend and I’d love it when he visited the union hall with flowers he picked from the side of the road on his way in roots and clay ha going off them for me. He was a great person and a true gentleman.
Madonna may you take comfort in your memories .

My deepest sympathies to Donna and family and his brother and best friend Terry and family.. It was a pleasure to have worked with him. His work ethic was amazing. I still smile when I think of some of our times on the road. Aus loved life and had a heart of gold. He was one of a.kind..I will be having a swally this afternoon in his memory and toasting a great man. My wife Joanne still remembers his light feet on the dance floor at the Youngs Christmas parties. “The only one there that could do the two step!I am a better person today because of things I’ve learned from Aus. Look out heaven! You are in for a treat. God bless his family.. Rest In Peace old buddy!

To Madonna and all of Aus’s family, I’m so sorry to here of his passing. I didn’t know Aus really well. My connection with him was through my brother, John Murphy, although I was lucky enough to visit his sheds and share a few swalleys and some stories with him on visits home.

A few years ago, I, my wife, and some of her family from the mainland showed up to John’s with some live lobster and no clue how to cook them. A call to Aus and no problem; down he comes with a big pot and a bottle of rum and in no time the mainlanders were enjoying their first feast of fresh lobster and more than a few laughs. Aus was such a solid family man and neighbor. I know John and you all will miss him greatly.
