Anthony Paul Augaitis

Anthony Augaitis, "Andy", age 92, died peacefully at Walnut Creek Nursing Center on March 14. He is survived by his wife of 62 years, Faye, his daughter and son-in law, Linda and Bill Coyne, of Oakwood, his son and daughter-in-law, Michael and Gayle of Oldsmar, FL, his grandsons and their wives, Brian and Barbara Coyne of Larchmont, NY, Brenden and Eileen Coyne of Baltimore, MD, Jonathan and Ashley Coyne of Oakwood, and Andrew Augaitis, of Olsdmar, FL. He also had two great-grandchildren, Elizabeth Coyne of Larchmont, NY and Andrew Coyne, of Baltimore, MD. While Andy worked at many things during his lifetime, his true passion was for the game of golf. He competed in, and often won, many local golf tournaments, including the City of Dayton Amateur Golf Championship. He had an amazing memory for each and every shot and could recount details of each game played. He was inducted into the Dayton Golf Hall of Fame in 1981. He and Faye spent their retirement in Bellair, FL where he continued to enjoy his golf games. Andy served in the U.S. Army during World War II from 1942 through 1946. He received two Bronze Stars and the American Theater Ribbon. Andy never lost his sense of humor and good cheer even while his health declined. The family is grateful for the kindness and skill of the staff at Walnut Creek Nursing Center, who cared for Andy so lovingly these past three years. In accordance with Andy's wishes, there will be a private internment only. Contributions in Andy's name may be made to the charity of your choice.
