Augustine “Augie” Albino

Augustine “Augie” Albino, age 60, of Milton, Delaware and formerly of Wayne, NJ, passed away unexpectedly on Monday, December 18, 2023.  His family is deeply saddened by his sudden passing. 

Augie was born on May 7, 1963 in Brooklyn, NY to Joseph and Rosemarie (Centra) Albino. After a brief time in the US Navy, he started his first business, Exclusive Towing. Augie began his career with Local 6A Concrete Cement Workers Union and remained with the union until retirement. He was a dedicated, hard worker with a strong work ethic. He took part in the construction of many buildings that are part of  the NY skyline today and he enjoyed the camaraderie he shared with his co-workers. 

Augie was a great cook! Everyone loved his Sunday sauce and meatballs.

He was an avid football fan, loved playing  the card game Let it Ride and his all-time favorite was doing his scratch offs. Augie's jokes and smiles made everyone's life brighter.

In 2012, Augie met Lisa Jensen, his forever love, and they wed in 2013. After a short time living in the East Village in NYC, they settled down in Wayne, NJ where they resided for 9 years with their dog Bear. While living in Wayne, Augie enjoyed throwing backyard barbecues, pool parties, and hosting family holiday dinners. Every summer he took pride in taking care of his in-ground pool for everyone else to enjoy. In 2022, he and Lisa moved to Delaware and took pleasure in the calmer life enjoying the beaches, fishing, crabbing and walking  through  the state parks with their four-legged children. His Godendoodles were his loyal companions. His buddy Sonny was always by his side and Charley was his big baby. His previous dogs, Buster and Bear, have been waiting to be reunited with their caring owner. Their wait is now over.

Augie was the loving husband and will be greatly missed by his beloved wife Lisa and their dogs.   

Augie was the proud father of Anthony, Tommy, Dylan and fiancé Rachel, and Samantha. He is also survived by his father Joseph, stepmother Ginny, brother Joe, sister Tracy, brother Frank and his wife Lucy, Paul and his wife Mari, and his number one favorite sister Natalie.

Augie loved and took great pleasure in being an uncle to his many nephews and nieces: Justina and her husband Herbert, Sally Ann and her husband Cosimo, Frankie, Sophia, Candace and Raymond, Nicole and her husband Nick, Maddie, Hannah, Zachary, Brandon, Devin, Shane and Kaden. Augie also took great delight in being a great-uncle to Rocco, Olivianna ,Eva, Kamden, Vincent and Dean.

He was predeceased by his mother Rosemarie “Candy”, his father Tom, and his maternal grandfather Augustine. 

Augie had a heart of gold that touched many lives with his boundless care and compassion. We will always love and miss you until we meet again.
