Dear Marilyn, Sarah, and Family, My wife, Mary Ann, and I are so sad to learn of Rick's passing. I grew up with the Kazwell family, across Cedar Lake, and I always looked up to and admired Rick. I wish we lived closer and could make the service. We are so very sorry for your loss. We hope that you will find increasing comfort in the weeks and months to come. George and Mary Ann

It is hard to believe that Dr. Kazwell was taken away from us so quickly. He was a great doctor and a great human being. His empathy for human struggle and his perfectionism were his most outstanding traits. He will never be forgotten.

Marilyn, Sarah and family, I cannot begin to express my shock and sadness when I heard the news. Rick was always "larger than life" and I still find it hard to believe. At Mass it was surreal to remember Rick when we prayed for "our departed brothers and sisters." There is almost a half century of my knowing Rick. He will be missed. I am writing this from Oxford, England, and will not be able to attend services for which I am so sorry. Please know Rick and all of you will be in my thoughts and prayers. May Rick rest in peace.

So sorry for the loss of Richard, husband, Dad, friend. I will always remember him first, as a sailor and Billy's big brother and then as a runner, always a wave and a smile passing by my window! I never could catch up so it was nice to have a walk with him.
