My deepest condolences to the entire Agin family. We spent many fun filled summers in F.I. hanging with "Porky" and the gang. He will surely be missed and remembered always.

My fraternity brother Steve Agin will be in my heart forever. Any trip to New York included a call to Steve to get together. Many fun and happy memories of Lehigh, NYC and the Hamptons will live on...my sincere condolances to Steve's entire family and all his friends, he will be sorely missed. Fast and Firm is our friendship forever Porky.

Steve always had a welcoming smile, and struck me as a kind, gentle soul. We feel saddened by his passing. He was a lightning rod, as I was generally drawn to him in whatever room we shared during Heschel functions. Hilary, you, too have the same kind, quiet warmth and strength and I look forward to sharing "only simchas" and playdates with our kids. Our prayers are with you and your families.

I am so sorry to hear of Steven's passing. We grew up together and though we rarely saw each other as adults, I'll always think of him as one of my friends. My prayers are with him and his family.

Cousin Steven, you were a great man. I really wish you could have been a bigger part of my life, and I feel like I barely knew you. At family reunions, you were very quiet and couldn't do very much; and at the time I couldn't understand why. Now I realise that you couldn't because of the disease that you had, and it is also the same one my brother possesses. Steven, you have given me the courage to finally read and find out more about Crohn's and I want to help Bryan out as much as possible. I really, really wish I could have got to known you better, because the times I talked to you at family reunions/thanksgiving/hannukah we understood each other and laughed occasionally. Hilary, Benny, and Jenna, I love you all and hopefully we will become closer and closer over the years.

I worked for Steve for a few years and shared many a great times not just planning or plotting our business path, but more of what we were doing this weekend or what we did do last weekend. Steve loved life and those he shared it with. He'd often say how lucky he was, talk of his beautiful children and their active lives, his incredibly smart wife Hilary, his best pal Don. It was never about him, but always about the people who made him happy. I learned a lot from Steve and he'll always have a special place in my heart. God bless his parents, Hilary, Ben and Jenna.

To Hiliary and Ben and Jenna,

I am proud to have been a close friend of Steve. As a doctor I understood his complex life, he was an inspiration to all who fought medical issues but lived life to the fullest.

I truly will miss him evertime I think our summers in Fire Island and the Hampton's.

My deepest condolences to Hiliary, you are an amazing person and all your efforts will prove fruitful in the future of you and the children.

We are always there.

We were fortunate to spend some good times with Steven aka "Porky" during summers some years ago and he will always be remembered for his kind spirit, his generous nature, his warm smile and his ability to make all those around him laugh and share his love for life. Just as we all felt fuller hearts for having him in the world, we feel the loss from his departure. May his family find comfort among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem, and his memory serve as an inspiration.

Dear Mrs. Agin and Parents of Steve:
I would like to express my sincerest condolences. My heart goes out to you. I knew Steve from growing up with him on Long Island. Steve took me to see the Broadway show "A Chorus Line" in NYC when we were in high school, and out to dinner at Sardi's. We had a wonderful time! I will always remember sitting next to him in class and him telling me jokes. He had a great sense of humor and was always smiling. Although we lost touch once we left for college, he was one of the people from high school, I would think about and say, "I wonder what ever happened to Steve." My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time and I hope you find comfort in the wonderful memories you shared.

I first met Steve in the 3rd grade, when he moved to New Hyde Park. We were actually from the same neighborhood in Queens (our parents knew each other) and we hit it off right away. The years flew by ... endless hours shooting hoops in his drive way ... summers at camp as bunkmates ... countless Met games on tv and at Shea ... I remember listening to music at his house and he'd laugh and tell me how he was a better singer than Bob Dylan. Although I hadn't seen him in 25 years or so, I remember those days like it was yesterday. My heart goes out to his entire family. Steve was a great guy and a great friend. I'll miss him forever. Rest in peace, buddy.

Agin Family,

I am very sorry to hear about the loss of your dear loved one. Please accept my deepest sympathies. May you find comfort in these words: "God is near to those that are broken at heart; And those who are crushed in spirit he saves."

I work the night shift in the ICU
where Mr. Agin passed away.

I did not know him, at all, but he
must have been an exceptional
man.

I knew his wife Hilary to be a de-
voted, loving lady. She also was
painfully aware of her young
children.

I am sure Mrs. Agin will rear the
children in the spirit and joy of Mr.
Agin's life.

God Bless him and his bereaved
family at this sad time.
