An “Original” Austin Cousin
Butch, the son of Art and Katherine Austin, was one of the 18 original Austin Cousins. He’s the fifth to leave us, following Gloria Ihns Jefferson, Delbert Hoopman, “Tootie” Austin Foster, and Wallace Ihns.
Cousin Tim Hoopman and Carole attended Butch’s funeral. Here’s a picture of three of the cousins: AnnaLee, Wayne, and Tim. AnnaLee and Wayne are siblings of Butch.

Butch was blessed with six children, shown below. Unfortunately, I do not know which name goes with which face so I’ll not identify them.

Thanks to Tim Hoopman for the pictures.
