Bert was born in Hatteras on October 8, 1931, to Ernest L. and Kate Harrell Austin. He was a proud veteran of both the Korean and Vietnam Wars and an Atomic Hydrogen Bomb Veteran. Bert retired from the U.S. Air Force after twenty years of service (1950-1970) and continued to serve his community as a member of the Hatteras Volunteer Fire Department (1972-1994) and as Sheriff of Dare County (1982-2002).
He was a dedicated member of the Masons, Scottish Rite, and Shriners, as well as a lifelong member of numerous veterans' organizations and civic groups.
Bert is preceded in death by his siblings; Ernest Desmond Austin, Decatur H. Austin, Sr (and wife, Olive S. Austin), Minnie A. Burrus (and husband, William "Bill" Burrus), David F. Austin (and wife, Ola B. Austin), and Avis A. Davis (and husband, Charles W. Davis). Also, his three nephews: William Dale Burrus, Charles W. Davis, Jr., and Gary Austin.
