Not sure what to say?

Pop- Pop said I was his favorite daughter-in law. Actually, I was his only daughter-in law. He really knew how to get to me. We spent a lot of time bantering back and forth. If I said something he didn't agree with he'd give that laugh of his that could be translated into,"that was stupid!" It really was all in fun, you couldn't help but like him. When I would take him to his favorite hardware store the clerks would stop what they were doing to talk to him and see what he needed. Once he...

Mike and your Family,

Your dad was one of a kind and I always enjoyed being around him and his help when I was helping coach you and that great Wormleysburg Midget baseball team that he coached so well. He was a delight to know and a good man. I have not seen him for several years but he will always be in my memories and remembering him for his love and knowledge of baseball and of you and your family. A great dad and a great man.

My dad truly was one of a kind. Through living he taught us so much without words. There was a humility about him that stood in stark contrast to his proud, competitive spirit. In all of his failures, he was able to come to grips with them, not blaming another, but humbly owning up and with strong conviction press on to overcome. He taught us that our failures aren’t failures if we learn from them.
He was a strong opponent of injustices. In his youth, during the depression, he...

I will miss your mischievous laugh and the way you could intimidate all the boys with your incredible hand-shake. We will all take care of your sweetheart (Grandma) and remember the precious times that have been spent together. I love you Pop-Pop. You will never be forgotten.

Mike will surely be missed by everyone his life touched.
He was an amazing larger than life character with an incredible sense of humor.
I'm sure he has already started a poker game in heaven, and he would tell you that he is winning.

Dear Mrs. Kazor, Beth, Patty, Mary, Barbie, Marlene, Darlene and Michael, I was so sad to read of Mr. Kazor's passing. Every time I drive to see my Mom I think of your family and wonder how everyone is. I am sorry, it hurts to lose your Dad. I am sorry I could not make the service. I just want you all to know that Mr. Kazor was the best Dad in the neighborhood when we were little girls. (OK, the other Dad's were good too, but there was only one Mr. Kazor!) The Kazor house was the place to be...

Dear Emma and family,
I'm so sorry for your loss. Mr. Kazor touched many lives in many different ways. I remember once he dropped of stromgolian (sp?) to my house just because I didn't know what it was. It was actually very good. God bless you all. Irene (Donna's sister)

Dad has given so much to us in life as well as in death. I never thought death could be looked at as strength until now. That is what my dad has shown us...strength in faith, strength in family, strength in breathing, strength in loving, strength in ourselves. We got dad home so he could have his wish of dying there. What an amazing family we have...we did it...we helped him until the end.
He asked me one morning during the last three weeks of his life if I would cry when he died. I...

I have learned many things from my dad. The number one thing is love of family. We didn't have alot of monetary riches growing up, but had richness in just being family.
Watching my father's eyes light up when a small child would enter the room was something to behold. He was always full of encouragement towards anything they did, from drawing a picture, a simple twirl, or any other feet that was thrown his way.
My father had an uncanny wit about him, he could take any situation and...
