Austin & I formed our first band, The Deltona's, along with guitarist/vocalist Craig Caragilor, back in 1960. I have many fond memories of the three of us cramming our amps, drums, and guitars into my English Ford Angelia and heading off for a gig. Austin was a kind and caring friend to everyone he knew. Those of us who had the good fortune of knowing him have surely gained from his friendship. Austin is survived by Jean Huhn, his wife of many years, and sons Austin and Stanley. Rest in peace my friend. You will always be in the heart of those of us who were blessed with your friendship. Respectfully, Dewey Bond

He was a part of our S.W. Miami group of wanna be musicians that were finding each other during the early '60's. The playing field was level as was our musical abilities....but we didn't know any better. It's difficult to make these types of posts because most of our minds eye memories are are of a young teenage person who now has passed. Gosh those 50 years went quickly! R.I.P. Austin Tim Mettar

He had a great collection of photographs of artists and clubs from the era. I remember his young son had started playing music, and the two of them would play together. Austin was with the Intruders (the Southwest High version) when they went to Wisconsin and became the Hares. Of course Chuck Guy of the Intruders/Hares also passed away recently. RIP Austin.
