Eugene H. Austin

I worked as a summer law clerk for Judge Austin in 1998 and remember him as respectful, fair, and an extremely kind man. He liked to joke that he hired me for our Penn State connection. Prayers to his family.

The Honorable Eugene Austin was a very caring person who showed empathy for people. He was a very fair Judge. I had the utmost respect for the man.

I remember when I practiced law and appeared before the Honorable Judge. He always treated all lawyers who came before him with respect. He was a gentleman and mensch in every sense of the word. My condolences go out to his family. I recently just heard that he passed.

My condolences to the family, The Honorable Eugene Austin defended me when I was a youngster at the age of 21 when he was practicing law in Hackensack he literally saved my life and my career on the charges in the case that he worked on for me and I will ever ever be grateful best wishes to all.
He was a Mench in every way. RIP my old friend.

I am saddened to learn of Judge Austin´s death. I worked for Gene as his secretary when he and Joseph Ceramie had their lawoffice in Hackensack, New Jersey. I remember all the fun we had over the years.
My deepest condolences to his family and friends. He will be missed.

I am so shocked and saddened to learn of Gene's passing. We sat next to each other in Physics class at Teaneck High School, and we both did our undergraduate work at Penn State. When my first husband, Milt Schwartz, was alive, we used to take our daughter Bonnie to swim meets, and we sometimes ran into Gene. The last time we saw each other was at one of our Teaneck High School class reunions.

My sincere condolences to Eileen and his whole family, and may his memory be a blessing.

Keeping Judge Austin and family in our thoughts and prayers. Gene was a wonderful role model and mentor, and a truly great man. He is sorely missed.

Please accept my thoughts and prayers. Judge Austin was one of the most compassionate judges I knew who treated everyone with dignity and fairness. He helped so many people in drug court. I pray that he is deservingly at peace in heaven and will reunite with his family for eternity.

I´m so sorry and sadden to hear of Gene´s passing. I will always remember his presence and his enthusiasm at the boy´s baseball games - a formidable presence! His kindness, humor and jovial personality made him a legend. I´m so sorry for your loss.

To Eileen, Michelle, Scott and family, We were so saddened to hear the news about Gene's passing. He was certainly one of the good guys!! For years, we kept the paper he gave us about attitude by Charles Swindoll on our refrigerator...it was full of wise words, as I think Gene was too. He was also a lot of fun! Our sincere condolences to all of you.

I am so sorry to hear about Gene´s passing. I have fond memories of him and all the times he made me laugh. My sincerest sympathy to Eileen, Michele, Scott and all the grandchild.

Our warmest condolences to Eileen, Scott, Michelle and the entire family. We remember Gene's smile, his pride and love of his family, his sense of humor and of silliness, and his sense of fairness. A mensch. We will miss him.

I am heartbroken to hear of Judge Austin's passing and extend my heartfelt condolences to his family. I appeared before him many times and developed a deep respect for him as a jurist. May you rest in peace, Judge Austin, and may the memories you created for your family bring them peace.

So sorry to hear of Judge Austin´s passing. He was a good man, fair and compassionate to all who appeared before him.
Rest In Peace.

We are so sorry to hear the sad news. Gene was a wonderful man who will be missed by everyone who knew him. We are sending you our love and deepest condolences.

So sad to hear this news. What a wonderful man he was. We are honored to have known him.

To the family of the Honorable Eugene Austin, J.S.C.:

I wanted to let you know how profoundly sorry I am to hear about the judge's passing. I appeared before Judge Austin countless times in my days as an Assistant Prosecutor - in fact, I tried my first case before him. He was a good man and always treated me kindly.

Many years ago, when I first came to my office, my boss hired me as a probationary prosecutor. He wanted to see my work before he decided to hire me as a long-term assistant prosecutor. I worked really hard and got the official title after about 6 months. The day I got the nod about the full-time position, Judge Austin called me on the phone to congratulate me and to wish me well. I was blown away that he took the time to think about me, but that is the kind of guy that he was. He was thoughtful, compassionate, and professional.

He will be missed.

Oft times, we would reminisce about THS. As a municipal prosecutor he was a worthy trial adversary. As a Judge he was firm, and compassionate when appropriate. Attorneys always knew he gave his best and his ear. His door was always open to us.
We have memories!

So very sorry to hear this -,He was a great guy and a real pleasure to work with

I had the honor of working with judge Austin as his team leader for 2 separate periods he made a big impact on me and was always so positive and encouraging a true gentleman and a wonderful person to work for I learned a great deal about life from him which I cherish to this day my deepest sympathy to the Austin family Rest In Peace judge you are missed
