Sorry to hear of August’s passing. We have many fond memories of our shenanigans on Palmer Highway. Condolences to his family. May he rest in peace.
August is now in a better place free of pain and suffering. My condolences to all his family, and to those who loved him and to my friend, Cathy Pope. God Bless You, August. You will see your longtime friend, Jim Craig, in Heaven.
So sorry, for your loss! I worked many years with Augie! I hired in in 1979! We spent many hours together, on and off the job. He was a great man! Sorry, that we were unable to attend the visitation. May God help you make it through these rough time! The world has lost a great man, but heaven has another angel! RIP Augie Lafoy!
