So sorry to hear of Austin’s passing. I worked with him for many years at NARL. He was always respectful and a great supervisor. We shared many laughs over our years working there. Sending you all our heartfelt condolences, may he rest in peace.

On behalf of the Clarenville Area Ministerial Association (ministers of all denominations), we extend our condolences to friends and family. Austin was a big help whenever we had services at the retirement centre. We will all miss him: especially his warmth, generosity, and big smile. What a blessing he was to all of us.

On a personal note: I was touched by Austin’s example at the retirement centre. He always made sure people made it down for our services, he’d help get everyone situated, pass out hymnals, ask if I needed any help…and all before he found his seat. I will not forget that. I’m holding you all (the family and friends who are family) in prayer, but also the whole CRC family. Austin was a part of it all and, because of that, it won’t be the same without him.

My sincere condolences to all of Austin’s family. He was a great man with a big heart. When we would share our music at the Retirement Centre he would be the first to greet us with his smile and a helping hand. His caring and compassionate ways will be surely missed.
