Julius Agin, father of Judy Megibow, passed away peacefully on Sunday, September 1st in the presence of his son Jerry and daughter Judy. He was born in January 1918 and was 95 years old and lived a long, healthy, happy life, fiercely independent and self-sufficient right up to the end. He was loved by all the extended family.

There will be a gathering for the community to honor Julius’ memory and to comfort the mourners after Rosh HaShanah on Sunday September 8th at 5:00 pm at the home of Alan and Judy Megibow.

May his memory be a blessing. Hamakom y’nachem – comfort and strength to Judy, Jerry and all the family.

Blessings,
Rabbi Marc
