By coincidence I came across the news of Austin’s passing when doing a search for Sales Mark. I was employed by the Willis Johnson Co (predecessor to Sales Mark) in 1983 at the Markham Street address. Austin was a mentor in my administrative position who imparted valuable training which served me the rest of my career. In recent years I’ve wondered if he was still living in Little Rock, and regret not reestablishing contact in his retirement. I convey condolences to his family. J.E. Beasley. Little Rock

I had the privilege of working for Austin at Salesmark. He truly was a man of strength, honesty, integrity, and an extraordinary gentleman. Austin and I traveled to Toronto to expand merchandising services to Walmart and other U.S. clients. During our time together, I treasured his wisdom, enthusiasm and innovative ideas in business and in life. As a business owner, he truly cared about those who worked for him and provided extraordinary trust in allowing younger managers to make decisions (and learn from their mistakes). Austin made the world a much better place and inspired me along his journey. I'm forever grateful for his friendship. Keith Province
