Charles L. Kasper

We had the honor of attending the San Diego 9/11 stair climb this year and my husband wore Charles's name. I immediately looked him up and felt truly grateful that we were able to know his story. I knew that he was a hero. Not just for his sacrifice but for the way he lived his life from start to end. I came here and discovered that he was a teacher before he became a fireman and having my own mother who is a teacher, I know the heart he had for serving others. Then to continue to serve by...

Sera Laureen,
It has been many years since Charlies untimely passing but I remember him a lot. Ours days growing up on 10th Street were the best memories I have of him, playing stickball, basketball and two hand touch. He was one of the so-called big guys to us a little younger then him, I remember hanging out out with him and Johnny Manepeze on his stoop right across the street from my parents house at 486-10 St. He was a mentor and a wise guy who taught me a lot especially...

Mrs. Kasper and family: My husband and I visited the 9/11 Memorial in 2012. We chose to do a rubbing, and we chose Charlie. I made a collage with the rubbing and information I found about Charlie. It hangs in our home. I look at it every day. Every day I think of Charlie, of his dedication and sacrifice and of all the other first responders who served so valiantly that day, as well as all the others we lost. Bless you and your family

I knew him as "Mister Kasper". My seventh and eighth grade history and science teacher. He wrote in my graduation book, "...always endeavor to fulfill your potential." I remember him well. And though it's been 44 years I can still see him walking the rows in our classroom in his brown boots and green corduroy, flared jeans. Sharing Santana's Samba Pa Ti during one of our Music Appreciation classes. Turning science class into sci-fi class discussing "The Night Of The Living Dead". Chalkboard...

Mrs. Kasper, Charlie's children & grandchildren.....Just found out about Charlie, his heroics and his family......my prayes and best wishes to you and your family....I am confident that Charlie is watching over you each day.

Charles Kasper was one of our teachers at St. Mary's Elementary School in 1969-70. He was barely 10 years older than we were.This was a time when the counterculture was in full swing and the universal feeling was that nobody, with the exception of Mr. Kasper, understood us. I'll always remember the time He, his wife Laureen, and a friend George Clay took several of us to the Fillmore East for a concert and light show. The feeling of being a part of some joyous thing, greater than ourselves,...
