Austin was predeceased by his loving parents Elizabeth and William McCarthy, his eldest brother Ferd and sisters Helen, Carmel and Agnes. He is survived by one remaining brother Jerry and sisters Mary, Margaret and Clare. Austin graduated from Regina High School and worked in Labrador for many years. After returning to Corner Brook, Austin was not without his struggles and for a time lived at Xavier House. He then continued to reside in Corner Brook and was employed at Scotia Recyclers until his retirement. Austin was a private, polite, positive and independent person, always quick to offer a helping hand, and had not a bad word to say about anyone. He was a perfect gentleman, loved by all and will be sadly missed. The Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Monday, April 24, 2017 at 10:30 a.m. from the Cathedral of the Most Holy Redeemer, Mount Bernard Avenue. Interment to follow at Mount Patricia Cemetery. As expressions of sympathy, donations in Austin’s memory can be sent to Xavier House, Mount Bernard Avenue, Corner Brook.
