We are SO saddened to learn of your son's passing! There are no words... please know you are in our thoughts and prayers and we are sincerely sorry for your loss!!

There is no tragedy in life like the death of ones child. Things will never get back to the way they were. Dwight Eisenhower. Given no choice, you must go on. Treasuring all the love Augie gave you, and that you continue to have for each other, will bring peace in you new lives. Remember him each day with joy -focus on what a great man he was. Be proud of him, and of the loving, nurturing family you were to him. We are mourning your loss and wishing you strength.

I dont know any of you, but I wish I did. You are an awesome sister and write a wicked fun obituary. I think youve made your brother very happy and proud. I was an older sister to the only boy who was my moms golden child, but I didnt mind. He died 6 years ago at 58. Your brother was way too young. My sincere sympathy and prayers to you all. Godspeed to Augie.

Didnt know him. However, with parents as great as you are, Id guess a great fella. Your family represents true Verona people. My heart goes out to you all. God bless

Randy, Nancy and Brenna, our condolences to the family. May all the beautiful memories help you through this very sad time. We are praying for you and asking God to provide you with comfort you need with the loss of your son and brother. Jeff and Linda Himsel
