A specialist in ancient Greek philosophy, known in particular for his work on Parmenides, Professor Austin taught at Boston University and then, for the last quarter-century, at Texas A&M University.  I will post links to memorial notices when they appear.

UPDATE:  There is an obituary, as well as other tributes, on his Facebook page.  (Thanks to several readers for the link.)

ANOTHER:  For those who can not access the Facebook obituary, here is another link.  (Thanks to Alex Mourelatos for sending this along.)
