Not sure what to say?

My name is Sheila Novitz. I am reading Andrew Kazdin's Glenn Gould at Work : Creative Lying. Halfway through the book, I have warmed so much to your father that I would like to offer my condolences to you on his death. Although I am seven years too late, I believe I that the pain we feel on losing a beloved parent does not ever subside, and I send you my deepest sympathy and wish all of you a long life. My heart has gone out to your dad since reading of his bewilderment and pain at...

I hope Nancy Kazdin or any family family reads this.My name is Avis R. Goldstein.I live in Hingham,Massachusetts.This morning I was looking through piles of old papers and came across a "script" of Rumpelstilskin"for Nancy-written by Andrew Kazin.I was the narrator!!it was at Boston University/1995-your dad sent a wonderful letter to me!And now,comes my apology:I had no idea who your father was or Don Kaufman.I was just a kdg. teacher filling in at the last minute for some other...

I never had the please of meeting Andy - we worked several generations apart in the music industry - but to this day seeing his name on the back of a CD means a seal of approval. To my ears no one has been able to make chamber musicians sound better. For his work with Isaac Stern, specifically the Mozart flute quartets and Beethoven trios, I will always be extremely grateful. Thank you for the gift you've given us.

what a lovely tribute to our father to read these heartfelt comments from friends and colleagues from so many segments of his life. please know that dad would be delighted at the outpouring.
we also send out our condolences in return for the loss of your colleague and friend. thank you for your kindness.

Our deepest sympathy to the family. Dick Cardone '52 and wife Betty Ann Demas Cardone '56

This is from his daughters Barbara and Nancy. On behalf of both of us, I'd like to say that we are loving these comments--and will cherish each one. The outpouring of love and respect for our father has been a huge comfort in this time of mourning. We lost our Dad, but the world lost a great and talented musical master. We will be checking back often--so keep these beautiful comments comin'........

As one of many who had the pleasure of working with Andy, I will miss his unique way of looking at the world and his singular talents. I learned much from him and wish him and his family peace.

Andy and I palled around for a while in High School, enjoying each other's brand of goofiness (e.g., we addressed each other by saying reverse-spelled versions of our last names). My sympathy on your loss.

The Mamaroneck High School Class of 1952 sends deepest sympathy to the family of their classmate Andrew Kazdin. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
