Mr. Fagan was my science teacher in my freshman year in 2002. He was truly a great man and teacher. It's been 13 years but I still think of him. Thank you Mr. Fagan. You will always be missed.

Mr. Fagan was my science teacher in freshmen year @ Central High School. He really made that year the best! My friend and I always look forward going to his class. He made science fun in many ways. Now that I'm a sophomore, Mr. Fagan will always say to my friend and I the "Class from the Past." I will always remember that! I would like to thanks him for encouraging me that Science will always be fun. My prayers goes out to his family and friend. R.I.P. Mr. Fagan you were one of the best teachers ever!!!!!!

Mr. Fagan was my science teacher my feshman year, and he was my favorite teacher out of all my seven teachers that year. I am now a Junior @ Central still and even up to last week I visited him in his classroom as I always do when I am near his classroom. He still treated my the way he did when I was his student. I would always ask him what was his first name and he would never tell me, he would always say something like Joe, or Johnny, and I would always say how could that be your name if the first letter is K., he would just laugh and walk away. I am going to miss him so much, had it not been for him I would have never had made it to Chemistry. I send condolences to all of his family members, and I hope that he rests in peace.

Mr. Fagan was my high school science teacher and currently a colleague of mine. I remember how he actually made me like going to science class, when that had never before been done. He will be missed.

Mr. Fagan was my 10th grade Biology teacher at Stratford High, back in 1987. His wife was also my 1st grade teacher at Franklin school, back when she was still Miss Pitoniak. They were both wonderful teachers. Mr. Fagan always had such a great sense of humor, and was just a great person.



I was surprised to hear of his passing, and saddened for the family. My prayers are with you.

I knew Kirk because of his colleague at Central High School, Tony Pijar in whose house I reside. I have fond memories of the times that Kirk joined Tony and the two Jims for watching sporting events and just hanging out by the pool. He was a true gentle-man and I am saddened and stunned by his sudden passing, but am grateful for having interacted with this quiet giant. My prayers are with his loved ones and his dear friends.
