Augustin Lopez, Jr., 69, died Saturday, October 12, 2024.  He was born in Manhattan, NY, and had been a Hampton resident since 1988 when he retired from the US Air Force with 20 years of service.

An active member of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, he spent much of his time at the church preparing donations, assisting in repairs to the church as well as transporting those in need to their doctor appointments.  If there was a need at the church, he was sure to be there.  He recently traveled with a parish group to Kenya.  There they met and learned from some of the communities that farm the fair-trade coffee which the parish serves and sells.  Gus loved the experience.   His dedication and services to the Immaculate Conception community will be missed deeply.

Augustin also had a true love for antique classic cars and traveling. He enjoyed restoring an old Ford Mustang and admiring classic cars at car shows.   Augustin enjoyed traveling and road trips.  He would spend many hours driving and exploring new cities on the way to visiting his family in New York.  He recently visited Puerto Rico with his cousin.
