Austin passed away peacefully on 21st December 2022 after a short illness. He was surrounded by his family who all miss him dearly.

In lieu of flowers, the family ask that donations be made via this page for The Friends of Larne Adult Centre. This community group was close to Austin's heart, as he helped set it up many years ago and ensured its future success. The group provide funding for much-needed supplies, trips and activities for all the service users of Larne Adult Centre, which includes his daughter Heather.

The family would like to thank you for your support at this difficult time and appreciate any donation you choose to make.
