John Joseph Augustino

For entertainment John watched the Phillies, Eagles and Flyers. When they disappointed him with strikes, fumbles and missed shots he fled to Atlantic City for solace. There he always beat the house. And when he won he sprang for dinner.rn John kept the John Patrick Publishing Agency in the black. Sales of calendars and church bulletins were his specialty. His retirement was a blow to the company.rn He was originally a Bridgeport guy, a graduate of Paulsboro High and East Tennessee State University. rn John was the first born of Charlotte (nee Bramble) and the late, John P. Augustino. He unmercifully teased his siblings: Anthony Wayne, Charlotte Bruzek, Bruce Charles, Judy Augustino, Gary Douglas and Nancy Dickerson and many loving nieces and nephews .rn A private celebration of his life will be held for his family only. rnDonations to: rnrnSons of Italy Foundation, 219 E.
