A celebration and tribute to the life of Charles S. Kaplan ... my friend, long-time companion and partner for over 25 years.
This photo journal is divided into four sections:
Part One: Pictures of his world travels in the past few years (travel was his number one passion).
Part Two: Pictures dated prior to 1985 (before I met him).
Part Three: Pictures of us together with our friends from 1985-2000.
Part Four: Pictures of Charlie with my family (my parents adored Charlie and I dare say that these were the happiest times of all our lives).
This picture is of Charlie and his best friend Steven Quint when they were in college together. Steven and his son Paul (Charlie's godson) were at the hospital with me a few hours before he died. To this day we all just stare at each other in disbelief that Charlie is no longer with us.
Charlie at the age of 28 with his godson Paul. Paul is now 29 years
old and attended Charlie’s funeral. To this day I keep in contact with
him.Update: Paul just purchased Charlie's old apartment from me. This is Paul's first home purchase and he wanted Charlie's apartment as he knew Charlie took great care of his property. Paul will be moving in soon with his girl friend Yuen. I'm sure Charlie is pleased with this transaction. |
