Frico Augustin was born on December 31, 1953 in Gonaives, Haiti, to the late Yvon Michel and Jesula Augustin. He attended community college in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Later, he immigrated to the United States of America. First landing in Brooklyn, NY, and then settled in Hamilton, NJ.
While in Haiti he met and married Margarette Barjon. He began to work very hard with the immigration office to bring his family to the United States. Later in life he gave his heart to the Lord and became a member of the First Haitian Church of God in Trenton, New Jersey. There he was baptized and also renewed his marriage vows. Frico was a very hard worker and worked various occupations to support and raise his family.
Frico enjoyed a variety of music genres and loved old western movies. He wanted his children to receive a good education by making sure they attended school and he constantly reiterated to his children the importance of an education. Occasionally, he would spoil the children and grandchildren with pocket money and treats.
Toward the later years when his health began to decline, the family appreciated the time God gave them where they enjoyed with him games of Connect Four and Uno, also while watching their favorite TV show, “The Rifleman”.
Frico was brother to the late Smith and Grella Theodule.
