Dear Mar and all your family,
Austie and I were life-long friends.
The day he was born my mother--with me inside her--went to see him. I was born three days later! He is never more alive than now, with the Lord, Mother Mary and all his relatives and friends at Home! Yesterday I began the first of a week's Masses offered in his name.
Love, edalysj, delhi,india

Austin McNichols was the prototype Fenwick Friar. He was a role model for a gneration of young Fenwick students in both his personal and professional lives. It is a teacher's greatest joy to be surpassed by his students. Austin's achievements as a husband, father, friend, and community pillar were a source of deep pride to the Dominicans who taught him.

To the McNichols Family,
Although I really only know a few of you, my deepest sympathies to all.
It seems to me that there is no finer compliment to a man than to have made family a priority and to have been regarded as a true gentlemen.
To me, Austin represented the finest of these qualities and was someone whom I greatly admired. I never met a finer gentleman.
I will truly miss him.
Sympathies to all of you.
