Before retirement, his youngest daughter, Sara Ann Austin, joined him in his practice. He loved the art and science of dentistry and he definitely enjoyed his patients because he was a people person. We will always remember Cyrus as a wonderful, loving husband and a fantastic father, He loved to laugh and had a super sense of humor. He had a strong determination, good character and had many interests. He was fluent in German and climbed Mt. Hood and many other mountains with his close friend, Ed Meihoff. He took long distance bike rides, skied and was an avid reader. He had a very generous spirit and heart. He went to coffee weekly with a group of faithful men, who proved to be his faithful friends. He is survived by son, Brian Austin; daughters, Jamie Brown and Sara Austin; seven grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; and sisters, Marie Austin Overturf, and Emme Austin Brown. He was preceded in death by his parents, Cyrus and Mildred Austin, and wife,Jacqueline Austin. A private memorial service will be held later in Montana.
