So we only had the pleasure of knowing Augie for 5 years having moved into Madison Ave in the summer of 2011 but he made an indelible impression. A strong, effervescent man who loved his family and friends. We had lived an apartment life until moving to Cranford, and I enjoyed observing and learning from Augie the skills necessary to maintain a home. He loved his super sized equipment. In the aftermath of Super Storm Sandy, Augie was out in the yard helping neighbors clean up their yards with his chain saw. I too had large branches down, so I decided to take a leaf out of Augie's book. I went to Home Depot and bought myself the last chainsaw on the shelf. After an hour of reading the instructions, and several exhausting minutes attempting to start the gas motor, I seeker help of Augie the paratrooper. He graciously stopped his work to help this hopeless amateur. A quick glance and he explained: "Well, you won't get far with this". In my eagerness to fix my substandard machine I asked: "But why is that?", then came the blunt response: "because you've put the chain on backwards". With that Augie removed the blade, corrected it, set it down, pulled the throttle with a manly yank and handed me the machine with a "Here you go son, be careful it's sharp,"
