Austin Joseph Ambrosino passed away peacefully surrounded by family at LifePath Hospice in Sun City Center, FL on August 20, 2021, at the age of 73.

Born in Pittston, PA he was the son of Austin P. Ambrosino and Nancy Fino Ambrosino. He was a graduate of West Pittston High School class of 1966. He furthered his education at St. Leo's College, in St. Leo, FL. He was a resident of Kingston, PA and Glen Allen, VA before moving to Sun City Center, FL.

After returning from college, Austin worked at Nesbitt Memorial Hospital where he briefly worked in respiratory therapy before beginning his 36-year career in banking. He was the friendly man at the bank who would tell jokes. Austin remained active in his community throughout his life. He was a life-member of the Columbian Volunteer Fire Department in Kingston, PA and served as the treasurer of the Columbian Volunteer Fire Department and the Dorranceton Fireman's Relief Association for 25 years. Austin was a member of Rotary International and received the prestigious Paul Harris Fellow award.

In retirement, Austin enjoyed working for Henrico County Public Schools as a bus driver. Recently, Austin was honored as a volunteer for Sun City Security Patrol where he was named volunteer of the month for the hours he served as a dispatcher.

Austin had a passion for telling jokes. He had a seemingly endless library of jokes ready to tell anyone he met. Austin loved making people laugh. He was always kind, sincere, and compassionate, traits that were the hallmarks of his personality and how most will remember him. He was a die-hard Eagles and Penn State fan and was almost always seen in Penn State or Philadelphia Eagles gear. Austin loved being a "Poppy" the most. He loved spending time with his grandchildren and making them laugh or just reading a book while they sat on his lap.

He is survived by his wife of 49 years Georgene Keefer Ambrosino; daughter, Michelle Ambrosino Tindley and her husband Phillip, Burtonsville, MD; son, Jarod Ambrosino and his wife Catherine, Mechanicsville, VA; grandchildren Olivia Tindley; Tess, Tucker, and Grace Ambrosino; two fur grands, Beezzly Tindley and Beau Ambrosino; brother-in-law, Joseph Orzechowski, Kingston, PA; and two nieces, Jennifer Orzechowski Bowen and Elizabeth Orzechowski Beckelman and families.

A Celebration of Life arrangements will be forth coming.


In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to LifePath Hospice Sun City Center Hospice House, 3723 Upper Creek Drive, Ruskin, FL 33573, in Austin's memory.
