Rabbi Kazan presided at my wedding to his niece Barbara Neibart in 1982. He was a consummate Rabbi, gracious and friendly. I was new to Judaism and he accepted me wholeheartedly. I will always remember his humor and grand understanding of the mystery of our shared religion. He was a Mensch. The world is bit less magical with his absence. My best to his family and many friends. Eric Smith

I was so saddened to hear about the passing of Rabbi Kazan. I have so many memories of his family since I did babysitting for all the children. My mother Stella also loved and did babysitting for the children. Betty the Rabbi's mother got me a job at the Philadelphia schools where I worked for 40 years. I was happy to talk to Rabbi and family at his home when Marian passed. Prayers and love to the family. I will never forget the family!

Sincerely, Joyce Hamilton

On behalf of the children of Martha and Harry Stern, please accept our sincerest condolences. I believe Rabbi Kazan was the last rabbi at our former shul, Congregation Emanu-El, before it merged with Congregation Melrose B'nai Israel. We remember him fondly and hope you can find comfort with our message. HaMakom Yinachem Etchem B'toch Shaar Avelei Tzion Virushalayim.
