Dr. K. was my Dr. at Family Care in Knox., TN for several years. I always wondered what had happened to him & now I have some idea. He truly will be missed and wish he was still with us. The Lord always takes the best too soon. A million thanks Dr. K. for being my Dr. and all the help you gave me over the years and may you rest in peace.

Dr.Kasprzak was a very wonderful doctor. He took great care of my husband for over 19 years, if there every was an angel here on earth then that was Dr.K,, that's what me and my husband called him. We miss and will always love and have Dr.K in our hearts also along with his family. When Dr. K passed away God needed another angel so that's why God took Dr. K home with God in Heaven!! With much love and sympathy David J.and Kathy S. Tallent.

He was my doctor for many years at family care associates. I'm the one he caught the heart disease in time and saved my life by giving me a test that got me a quad bypass. He was a great man and doctor who I am sure I will see again. Treatment stopped abruptly and no one at family care explained why he stopped seeing patients. Now I Know and I am deeply sorry for the belated condolences.

Deepest sympathy to Bob's family on the death of my PCOM classmate.

Please accept my sincere condolences concerning Bob's death. Jean, I hope you and the kids are making it through this difficult time. I remember your first date with Bob in Philadelphia ; a day that changed his life forever for the good. Bob changed my life forever for the good too when I met him long ago at Bates College. We were roommates two years at Bates and then 2 further years in Medical School. He mentored me and was the older brother I needed but never had. While after Medical School we went our own ways in life, I have always known where he was. I have no doubt no matter where he was he left a positive imprint and legacy. He was just that kind of person. When you add that to his medical training and prowess you define what it means to be a Physician, not to mention a great person. A little part of him lives on in all of us who were influenced by him, which is a great thing. Love to all, I am thinking of you.

To The Kasprzak Family

Dr. Kasprzak was a gifted a doctor and a true child of God. This was apparent in the way he treated his patients and all who knew him. He became my doctor over 20 years ago and my husband's doctor until his passing in 2005. We prayed together and he encouraged me so much after my husband's death. But I know I can rest assured that I will see my husband and Dr. Kasprzak in heaven one day. May God continue to keep his loving arms around the family during and beyond this difficult time.

Sincerely,

George & Shirley Appling

Jean and family, I am so sorry for your loss. If we remembered everyday that we could lose someone at any moment, we would love them more fiercely and freely, and without fear - not because there is nothing to lose, but because everything can be lost. I love you Jean, if you need to talk, just call me ok. ~Crystal (your co-worker and friend)

I am so sorry to hear about Dr. Kasprzak's passing. I had the great honor and privilege to work with him at Family Care Specialists from 2011-2014. I remember how he always went above and beyond for both his patients, and his coworkers. I remember one night in particular when myself and another coworker were closing, and we had to stay late. Everyone else had already left, and Dr. K had no patients left, but rather than going home, he stayed over late, just to make sure we left from the building and got to our cars safely. That's just the kind of person he was. I remember other times it would be closing time, but someone might show up to the clinic right at close. He never turned anyone away, even if it meant he had to stay over late. I just always remember him going above and beyond to help anyone that he could. I am truly sorry for the loss of such a wonderful man. The family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Deepest sympathy to the Kaspezak family! I went to high school with Dr. Bob and we are all surprised to hear of his passing. He was always a great person with compassion for his fellow man and a big smile. I was not surprised to see other loving messages from those he has helped in the past He will be sadly missed by all who knew him and always remembered! RIP Bob!

I am so glad to know that Dr. K has joyfully and eagerly passed from this life into another life that is more amazing that he could ever imagine! He was our family doctor for 20 years, and saw our family through so many happy and sad times. He examined us, talked with us, and patiently listened to us talk. He even put his arms around our shoulders and prayed with us. He especially affected my oldest daughter, who was a heroin addict. She was imprisoned for four years, and after she recovered, moved to Kentucky. When she did, she said, I don't know what I will do because I won't be able to see Dr. Kasprzak anymore! I guess I'll just have to drive down every time I get sick! No doctor could ever replace him. She is now finishing her own doctorate in neurological social work with opioid addicts, helping them as he helped her. We could always count on Dr. K to call us after hours to check on how we were doing. Once, he alerted me by phone only a couple of hours after I left his office to alert me about something he had seen on my x-ray: that my stomach had become misshaped. It turned out I needed a six-hour operation to relocate it. If it had not been for Dr. Kasprzak's diligence, they said I would have died within a few days. How we love him! He is one of the people I will enjoy seeing again in eternity!

Dear Family, I pray God will hold you close to His heart during this sad time. Dr. Kasprzak gave me excellent compassionate care for 15+ years. He truly had a servant's heart and I will miss him greatly.

Saddened to hear of Dr. Kasprzak's passing. As a former patient, I will always remember his true compassion for my suffering. He was a Godly man and the fruit of his life made that clear. My sympathies to his family.
