Mr. Austin was a retired employee of Dana Enterprises and Parker Hannifin. He enjoyed gardening and yard work. After a long day in the sun, Mr. Austin would retire indoors where he watched his favorite shows, "Hee Haw" and "The Grand Ole Opry". Mr. Austin also enjoyed playing golf and watching Nascar. But above all, he was a family man that loved his family, especially his wife of fifty-seven years Mrs. Carolyn Switcher Austin.
