Austin Hennessey

To Mary and the Hennessey family
Sarah and I offer our condolences on the passing of the beloved Austin. He was a man filled with joy and love and he lived it every day of his life. He had a perpetual twinkle in his eye and a magnificent Irish wit that endeared him to everyone who met him.
We wish you a blessed journey on to your next great adventure, Austin
"May the sunshine warm upon your face. May the rains fall upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of His hand".
We will miss your hugs!!

I miss Austin very much, as it's been some time since I've seen him. The time I've had to spend with Austin has always filled me with love and joy. Mary - I'm so sorry for your loss. Mark & I have prayed/been praying for your healing and for Austin's journey to another place. We love you, Austin! You will forever be in our hearts and in the positive energy around us.

My condolences to Mary and family on the passing of Austin. When I think of Austin I smile and feel his warmth and big heart. He was the expression of divine love, acceptance, and generosity of spirit. He lived his commitment to be an expression of love in the world, and I am blessed to have known him.

I'm so sorry to hear of Austin's passing. What a truly wonderful man he was always; adding so much light, warmth and encouragement wherever he went. Aside from those very special years with the Center for Dynamic Living, in later years, I loved bumping into him in White Rock in one of the shops. He'd add the most joyful spark to my day. My heart goes out to all his family.

Condolences to Mary, family and all who loved Austin. What I will remember about Austin are his kindness, sense of humour and a ready smile for everyone. Hugs!

I was very sorry to hear of Austin's passing. My condolence to you and your family. His love and positive influence will live on in my mind. Much love and respect to you.

I am so sorry to hear of Austin’s passing. He was one truly wonderful person. Mary, I loved your services when you were both up there, making us laugh, think deeper than our ego and each one of us felt truly “blessed”.

Mary, I especially remember and thank you and Austin for visiting my Auntie Evelyn (rip) when you were in Dublin.

Love surrounds us all,

Namaste

Austin was a very advanced soul that had nothing but Love and empathy for everyone and everything. His passion for advancing his soul and find the true meaning of life was an inspiration for all those who want to lead a spiritual life. He always greeted everyone with enthusiasm and made them feel special. We were very sad to hear the passing of Austin. Now we have a true angel watching over all of us.
Austin will be missed and my deepest condolences to Mary, family and friends.

Our deepest condolences to Mary, Jacinta, Dan, Luci and family. How beautifully he loved you, and loves us all. Austin will fit right in among the angels; seems he has been practicing over here on earth for a lifetime.

Vancouver can be a pretty dreary city, especially when you’re new in town, searching for work, and a long string of cold, wet, grey days makes you long for sunshine and hope. We quickly learned after meeting Austin and Mary that we could count on them for sunshine and hope – with warmth and wit in the bargain – every time we met. Which we did regularly in their ministering days. We don’t know if sunshine, hope, warmth, and wit are in short supply on the other side. But if they are, we do know that Austin’s arrival will have instantly corrected any such lack.

I was so sorry to hear about the passing of Austin. He was one of my favorite people on this earth. He always had a smile on his face and a very calming tone in his voice. I wish I had gotten to see him one more time before he moved on but I will always remember him in my heart.

We are heartbroken to hear about Uncle Austin's passing. We were very fortunate to meet him when he, Auntie Mary, Jacinta, Dan, and Luci came to California. All the Lynch families (Lynch, Cyr, and Lake families) and Uncle Austin families were able to spend the evening together and share stories. We also counted our blessings when Uncle Austin and Auntie Mary flew to California to celebrate his sister Bernadette’s service. Your words of wisdom were taken to heart. Tony, Jonathan, and I will miss you. We will never say goodbye; rather, we will see you again.

It is with heavy hearts and fond memories that we announce the moving on of my beloved brother Austin.

With an ever present smile and a twinkle in his eye he lived a life full of laughter and boundless love.

Austin was a man of so many talents. He could charm the birds from the trees with his stories and reached out to countless people to hear his wisdom and words of love.

He was a devoted husband for almost 60 years to his loving wife Mary and together they showed in their daily life the very best of love and marriage.

To his loving daughter Jacinta, son in law Dan and granddaughter Luci, he was as loving and kind as few ever experience.

There are so many things to say about this wonderful man and our conversations on life and the world around us, I will forever cherish.

So, raise a glass in his honor and memory, knowing that the world is indeed that much better for having experienced his presence.

Descansa en paz, hermano mío. Siempre te amaré y te extrañaré por siempre.”

To my beloved Dad, my inspiration, my guide, my way shower. Your unconditional love never wavered, even as a teenager when I was adorned in my finest punky regalia, you were fiercely proud of me. You wholeheartedly encouraged Daniel and me as we launched our tech business, a venture inspired by your entrepreneurial passion. And you beamed with pride as we achieved our goals and reached for new heights. People would remark that I was so lucky to have you as my Dad - I am beyond fortunate and profoundly grateful.

As our family grew, we were overjoyed to welcome Luci, your beloved granddaughter and light of your life. I know you are incredibly proud of Luci and the light that she will bring into the world. Your beautiful love story with Mom exemplifies who you are, after 60 years, still holding hands, still deeply in love, still marveling in the delights of having such an exquisite soulmate. Your depth of love for Mom, your profound joy in spending time with us as a family, and our amazing holidays together, have created wonderful memories.

Your passion for life, celebrating the joy in every moment, and seeing the good in all, flowed through your business ventures, your ministerial career, and in your everyday interactions with everyone you met. You have taught me to choose happiness, to choose gratitude and to choose the path of love. Your light will shine on to illuminate our way, your wisdom will be our guiding voice, and your love will live on in our hearts always.

Mary and family -- I was so saddened on hearing that Austin had made his transition. His heartfelt teachings have had a significant impact on my life. May peace be with you.

I was deeply saddened to learn of the loss of Austin.
What a wonderful gentleman was Austin. A great spiritual teacher and likewise his wife Mary. He exuded love and joy and I enjoyed our dinner get-togethers immensely, especially the naughty humourous side of his personality.
Austin will be missed. My sincerest condolences to Mary and his family.
