Obituary - August Joseph Bain

August Joseph Bain “Augie” passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his family on Sunday, January 10, 2021, at age 84 in Richmond, Virginia. Augie was preceded in death by his parents, Cecil Anthony Bain and Cecilia Wallmeyer Bain. He is survived by his wife of 58 years, Carolyn Oley Bain; his children, Christopher Anthony Bain, Esq. (Katherine) of Richmond, Virginia, Dr. Theresa Bain Recupero (Steve) of North Easton, Massachusetts and Jerri Bain Girvin (Andy) of Richmond, Virginia; 10 grandchildren, Walker, Campbell and Mary Kate Bain, Carolyn, Stephen and Christopher Recupero and Mallory, Karson, Drew and William Girvin; and brother, William Emms Bain (Dot) of Richmond, Virginia. He will be remembered fondly by his large extended family, including the Bains, Oleys, Wallmeyers and Mehfouds. Augie graduated from Benedictine High School in 1954, and he served honorably in the U.S. Army in Okinawa, Japan from 1956 to 1958. A lifelong Richmond native, Augie owned a number of local businesses, including Westbury Fountain. Augie was a faithful member of St. Anthony’s Maronite Catholic Church, the Knights of Columbus and the St. Mary’s Beneficial and Social Union. He was a devoted fan of both University of Virginia Sports and the New York Yankees and a longtime member of the Virginia Athletic Foundation. Augie was a well known sports encyclopedia, called on by local newspapers and radio stations for sporting facts and statistics. But his greatest pride and joy were his children and grandchildren. Due to Covid-19, burial will be private and the family will hold a Memorial Mass and Celebration of Life at a later time. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to The Wounded Warriors Project, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital or St. Anthony’s Maronite Catholic Church.
