RIP Augie, you are our oldest cousin and a man to really look up to!! I’m gonna miss you so much…so many plans we didn’t get to do, 😥
You will be missed. You put a smile on my face every day that i worked,i lookex forward to seeing you at 6am sitting by the nurses station with a smile and a good morning. I will miss you dearly.
R.I.P. my dear friend.
Augie was such a great fun guy. He and Paul shared so many adventures together—from hauling garbage to the softball field and deer hunting. Our thoughts are with his family.
Auggie was truly a bundle of joy and laughter, the kind of light that could brighten any room. He reminded me so much of my Grandpa Jerome, with his humor and the way he made people feel seen and loved.
His spirit lives on in each of you in every shared smile, memory and every moment of kindness.
Auggie, you will be deeply missed, but the joy you brought us will never fade. We’ll carry your memory in our hearts, always.
Rest in roses, sweet Auggie. 🌹
