Dear Editor,

"Junior", as he was affectionately called, spent his childhood years in Santa Clara County, attended Santa Clara schools, but had made San Juan Bautista his home for the 36 years prior to his becoming disabled. Augustine had been a truck driver; had owned and operated a janitorial service with his wife, Carol, for many years maintaining the floors for Mervyn's Department Stores in the Bay Area; and lastly, was a charter bus driver before his disability. Augustine had loved the out-of-doors-swimming, camping, fishing, and gardening --"He had a green thumb", said his spouse. As a young man he helped to build the footings for the rock bridge at the Pinnacles' National monument. He and his wife had been Boy Scout Leaders in San Juan Bautista , and he was a member of the former El Cendero Church in Hollister. Surviving are his spouse, Carol, of Hollister; children David Levario, (Susana), Matthew and Elaine Levario of Hollister; and Daniel Levario, (Misty), of Oakdale, grandchildren, Timothy and Candace Branham of Oakdale, and Alize Anker of San Jose; brothers, Gilbert, Michael and Lorenzo Levario of Stockton; sisters, Velia Munoz of Stockton, Theresa Rodriguez, (Henry), of San Jose, Margaret Perreira, (Edward), of Clearlake, and Linda Cavazos, (Louis), of Hollister; plus many nieces and nephews.
