Not sure what to say?

I remember Mr. Kaplan as my elementary school principal at Lawrence. I can honestly still remember the assemblies he led in the center open space and still feel the warmth he brought into that building every day. I also know he followed the achievements of his kids long after we left him. He really was the absolute best. Much love to his family, I hope you have some comfort knowing how much his deep caring for his students stuck with us throughout our lives.

That day must have been the last week of school, or maybe even the last day because of snow days, or maybe we stayed in school longer back then. We all made a pact to contact Mr. Kaplan on 7/7/77.

From one teacher to another one: rest in peace. May the Lord comfort your family during this difficult time.

Hal was my mentor during my first year as principal at Farm Hill School. He was a fabulous colleague and shared his knowledge and tricks - like color-coding school notices and important papers. He and Dottie welcomed us into the Middletown community sharing dinners and other events together. Hal, you will be greatly missed, but your legacy lives on! Rest in peace knowing you were truly loved.

I have fond memories of Hal from my days at Woodward Town & Country Pharmacy. May Hal´s heavenly light shine brightly over his family, loved ones & friends.

my condolences go out to the family a beautiful person with a heart of gold riheavenly peace gone but never forgotten rip mr harold
