John Auger Obituary

It is almost Thanksgiving again and Jack had a standing invitation to spend it with us if he didn't accept one of several other invitations. I sure do miss talking to him. Sure wish he was here so he could visit with our family at Christmas too. Our talks every week was something I looked forward to so I could tell him all that was going on and ask how his day/week was going. Am sure going to be thinking of him a lot in the next few weeks. Sure do miss him.

The news of Jack's passing has just reached several, who although not currently employed at Zenith, worked with Jack for several years.
I recall his love of verbal sparring......there was nothing like a sarcastic interchange to keep the day interesting.
In the fortunate event of something interesting in the news, the workers' compensation laws, or a company memo, we would look forward to Jack's unique perspective and interpretation.
Jack was the first person I met who typed phone messages or post-it notes. This was a source for teasing, which he enjoyed. His organization was the envy of many, including myself.
I am sure that Jack enjoyed being a trendsetter, having recognized the appeal of our Governator many years ago. He posted a picture of Arnold as the Terminator with a hand written....."Hasta La Vista, Baby" for all to enjoy.

I consider myself very fortunate to have known him and hope these fond memories are of comfort.

Hasta La Vista, Baby....Vaya Con Dios.
May Jack be at peace.

I only knew Jack through his brother Don, who is my best friend since we were in the service together. From the short time I got to know Jack, I knew he was a very good and caring person. May the Good Lord share His blessings and love to Jack and Diane. We will keep them both in our prayers.

To all of Jack's friends in California
and his friends and family here in
Mass. The Auger fmaily and his brother Don A. wish to express our
sincere thanks and gratitude for re-
membering Jack as the person he was and as a member of the Auger
family.Thank you all,so much.

This is just a short message to ALL
who put messages in Jack's guest
book and to let you all know that you
are special people to remember my
brother Jack and to also to have known him.Thank you all so much for
your kind words.We will not forget you.....

It's really great to see how much everybody liked and cared about my Uncle Jack. He was a very caring person. I have great memories of going out for special days with Uncle Jack before he ever even moved out west. We'd go to the Methuen mall in his '67 Camaro and he'd buy me something special and then we'd get a strawberry "fribble". I was only 3 or 4 at the time but I still remember those days like they were yesterday. They are the kind of special memories that stay with you forever. We love you and will miss you Uncle Jack.

Thank you to all the Zenith friends who have taken the time to share their personal remembrances of Jack. He sure was a remarkable person. It's nice to hear all the kind words about just how missed he will be.

Jack was a Wonderful Person. I feel fortunate that I got to know him and work with him at Zenith. He was a professional and I could always go to him with questions if I needed assistance. He was also a wonderful friend and I will miss him dearly. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

In the years I sat next to Jack at work he always patiently listened while I bragged about my kids. Whenever our work gave us little gifts he gave me his so my kids could have one each. His sense of humor and personality were refreshing and honest. You always knew where you stood with Jack. I will miss my friend very much. Thank you, Jack, for your friendship and support in the 10 years we worked together. I will always remember you.

Jack was a good guy. I worked with Jack at Zenith Insurance from '94-'98. He was always willing to lend a helping hand and was very knowledgeable. He had a type of humor that just made me want to tease him, which I did at every opportunity. Jack liked to entertain his friends, and I could tell he treasured his close relationships. We'll miss ya Jack!

Jack was fun to work with, he always made me smile! My thoughts and prayers to his family and many friends! He will be deeply missed.

I have talked with Jack at least once a week for the last eight years. Prior to that we worked together at Zenith. My husband had teased him for years about being "Mr. Zenith". I have so many good memories and will miss Jack terribly. Our thoughts and prayers are with Stacy, Ryan and his family.

I will remember Jack's very dry and funny humor. He had such a unique way of looking at the world that always brought a smile to my face. I remember his dinosaur collection guarding his cubicle. I will miss him very much. It was a great pleasure knowing him and working with him

Jack will be missed. He was an extraordinary person and it was a pleasure to have known and worked with him in the past 15+ years. My sympathies and prayers go out to Jack's family.

My sympathies to Jack's family - I worked with Jack at Zenith in CA. Being a fellow "Franco-American" from Maine, I enjoyed sharing foods, rituals, and lifestyle stories of us from that heritage. This was much fun for him, especially in his last year before retirement. Peace be with you, Jack!

Stacie,

You and your whole family are in our prayers. May your Uncle rest in peace.

I will miss Jack very much. Barbara Stevens

This photo of Jack is just how I remember him, always smiling! May God comfort you with good memories of him always.

My condolences to all of Jack's loved ones.
May you be comforted by the image of his beloved sister Diane waiting at the gates of heaven to welcome him.
What a joyful reunion it must have been!
