In loving memory of James Gardner Austin, 98. A man of great faith, love and strength in our family. Jim was born on April 29, 1919 to Harlin and Della Austin in Allegan, MI. He attended high school in Allegan and upon graduation married Maxine L. Truax on June 15, 1941.

Jim was a respected Air Force electrical engineer, war veteran and Masonic Lodge member. He had many hobbies including fishing, painting, jewelry design, gardening, dancing, bowling, and volunteering at his church. Upon retiring, he and Maxine loved to travel in their RV, especially to Rockport, TX for fishing.

He is also survived by Lavina Hotchkiss and predeceased by Maxine Austin, Eugene Austin, Charles Austin, and Eva Austin, all of Michigan.
