  16. Austin was such a kind man. I remember very clearly he was one of the first people I chatted with when AOL messenger was a thing! He was funny and charming, but in no way full of himself. I have so many fond memories of him and the times we shared. May his memory be a blessing.

  22. I just heard of Austin\’s death today and it\’s crushingly sad. I don\’t think he had any idea how much sweetness he radiated even to casual acquaintances like me, who only knew him to share a few words when we were out walking, both in town and out in the fields. He always reminded me of a young Walt Whitman. I wish I had known him better. Sending every comfort to the Williams family in the loss of their dear, dear son and brother.
