He was a good friend to Bobby Vraney, and Wally Karkow....huckleberry friends that have preceeded him and will be greeting him on the other side (oh Lord, someone will be making a deal in heaven). In my mind I always believed he'd be around after we were all gone...our giant smith brother and strong freind...a pillar. I wish you God speed, a hug from Bob and Walley....my condolences to the family. I'm sure your immense presence will be missed.

Did not have the pleasure of meeting Mr. Mazur, but have the great pleasure of knowing his son John Mazur III, and his lovely wife Lisa, and two amazing kids Johnny & Ashley. If he was anything like this family, I know we would have loved him too! I want to offer condolences to the family during this time and pray to God that he keeps his loving hand on all of them as they go through this difficult time. - The DeAngelis Family
