Dear Susan,
We are so glad that you father came to Arne's Eagle ceremony. What a delight to have had the chance to meet him. He must have been an exceptional man because he certainly raised a beautiful (inside and out!) daughter. God be with you and your family and your father with Him.
All our love,
The Thynes Family

Dear Susan, My mind is so full of memories of his love for his patients/kids/children/neighbors/friends/ he was such part of my growing up.
We moved into Dash Point in 1955 and I was 9. He was my doctor until I came back from Vietnam and until after college. I am 63 now and still full of thoughts and emotions for his generosity and care he had for us as we all grew up. I have often thought of him as the years have passed with many good thoughts. I've told stories to others of the...

Mrs. Hazelrigg, Susan, and Family, You are in our thoughts and prayers. Dr. Hazelrigg holds such a special place in our hearts for so many reasons, namely his supportive role as Jordan worked towards and earned his Eagle Scout rank. What an honor it was to have him present as Jordan was awarded his Eagle. Our memories are few but lovely. I can only imagine the warmth and comfort you all have in the years and years of being in the presence of such a wonderful human being. All of our love,...

Dearest Carol and family,
We are so sad to hear about your loss and our thoughts and prayers are with you. Jim will be missed deeply and remembered dearly by our family. We couldn't have asked for a better neighbor and what a blessing to have the Dr. right next door. I will never forget when Jim personally drove Tom down to his office after hours to stitch him up. We have many great memories. We will all miss his sweet face and kind ways.

Susan and Family,

Although I did not personally know your father, I want you to know I am thinking of all of you at this time of loss. Your father's legacy are his children, and I know I have one of the dearest friends in Susan. I read what a wonderful man he was and how he made the world a better place.
Rest in Peace Dr. Hazelrigg.

When I was 7 years old I was hit by a pickup truck on slayden rd. in front of my parents' house. My father took me to Dr. Hazelriggs' clinic.I remember how calm and collected he was as he worked on me. I was bleeding all over and he just talked to me as he worked and I felt a calm come over me like everything would be allright. He truly was a wonderfull Doctor. To the Hazelrigg family-you are in our prayers. Mark Carr
