Arrangements for a Celebration of Life service have been set for College Baseball Hall of Famer and Longhorn Legend Augie Garrido, who passed away on March 15. The service is open to the public and will take place at the Frank Erwin Center on Monday, April 9, beginning at 2 p.m. Doors will open for the event at 12:30 p.m.
 
The recommended parking location for those attending the service is the Health Center GarageGet Acrobat Reader (1601 Trinity Street) where it will be available at no charge.
 
In lieu of flowers, the family asks you to consider contributing to The University of Texas Neighborhood Longhorns Program by clicking here.

RIP Baseball, life, master philosopher.  But that's just my opinion, man. 

Thanks for the memories.

Anyone else watching this on LHN? Huston Street just spoke and was having trouble keeping it together. Also, Bill Little's goiter has grown tenfold recently.

Mack just said that DeLoss was “the cheapest sucker there ever was” and that he was surprised that, when they renamed 23rd street in front of DKR after him, he didn’t try to turn the road into a tollway.

Watching this.  If you get the chance, make sure you watch it as well.  Kevin Costner was great.

Great tribute !

Many great individual comments especially by Huston, James Barton, Shaka, and Mark Kotsay.  Several Fullerton former players in attendance.    Jim Schlossnagle, TCU, also in attendance.  I now forgive him for the dogpile on the Longhorn logo in 2010.

LHN rebroadcast today at 6PM, 11PM, and Tues, 1PM, 8PM,  per TV guide. 

Edit:  If you record,  it is a 2 hour program.

The tribute by James Barton (bullpen catcher from 2013-2016) was outstanding.  Wise beyond his years and very poised for someone who is fresh out of college. 

Overall a really fantastic gathering of people who seemed positively affected by Augie.  Seemed to be an onslaught of dust in my house when I watched it.

Anyone have a pic of the tower, looked everywhere and was unsuccessful.

Garrido is survived by his wife, Jeannie, and daughter, Lisa. Garrido was buried at the Texas State Cemetery on Sunday, next to former UT football coach Darrell K Royal.

Augie will only be a home run and a double from his office.

I prefer to think of it as a walk, a bunt, a single, and a double.

Augie would approve.

Watched it last night.  I thought Huston and Kotsay were the two best speakers.  Lotsa good stuff.
