Augustus M. Asaris

Augustus M. Asaris, 84, of Richlandtown, Pennsylvania, known to his friends and family as "Sam", passed away peacefully at home on March 21, 2025.

He was the beloved husband of Barbara Asaris, with whom he shared 57 years of loving marriage.

Born in Latvia, Augustus was the son of the late Vilis Asaris and Zenta Sprogis. He immigrated to the United States and graduated from Quakertown Community High School in 1960.

Augustus proudly served his country in the United States Navy from 1961 to 1965.

He spent many years working at FiberMark (formally W.R. Grace) in Quakertown, where he was the go-to guy whenever there was a problem-always dependable, and deeply respected by everyone who worked with him.

Augustus was a classic car enthusiast who loved restoring and admiring vintage automobiles. He will be remembered for his quiet strength, remarkable breadth of knowledge, and his sharp wit-always ready with a good joke to share.

He is survived by his devoted wife, Barbara; son, Eric Asaris; daughter, Michelle Woodroffe and her husband Chris Woodroffe; grandson, Corey Woodroffe; sister, Liga Wentzlaff; and brother-in-law, Harold Wentzlaff.

All are invited on Thursday, March 27 to Naugle Funeral & Cremation Service, 135 W. Pumping Station Rd., Quakertown, PA 18951 for a viewing from 6-8pm. Final interment will be privately held by the family.

In lieu of flowers, contributions in Augustus's memory may be made to the Parkinson's Foundation.
