Randy and I are so very sad to hear of this news. We often think of Buzz and Jeannine as Square Dance mentors and teachers and the honor to have Buzz call at our wedding reception is a very special memory. We are at a loss for words, as to what the friendship of this family has meant to us over the years, and unable to express how much we will miss him. You are in our thoughts and prayers in your loss.

I am Janice Kroll the mother of Loni's friend, Karen Kroll. Karen and Loni have remained the best of friends throughout their lives since they were were only 4 or 5 years old. Our families lived only a block apart. Karen very much loved the entire Kaczmarek family and had only nice things to say about them. A very close family that lost a good man. My sympathy to the entire Kaczmarek family. Bless you all at this time of your loss. May the Lord be with you and give you comfort.

We were so sad to hear of your loss. We got to meet Buzz and Jeannine at the YHS Football games, they wore Inman #4 and We had Rutherford #4. We decided we would be the retired #4's. We sat together for a several seasons and enjoyed each other company. This next season won't be the same without him. May God Bless you all at this time, he was such a nice man and we were so blessed to have met him and Aunt Jeannine. God Bless....The Rutherford Family
