James Kaplan

Little sleep's-head sprouting hair in the moonlight, when I come back we will go out together, we will walk out together among the ten thousand things, each scratched in time with such knowledge, the wages of dying is love.

Nothing but the fondest memories of this wonderful man from my childhood. thinking of Mrs. Kaplan, Marc, Kerri and everyone who is grieving over his passing.

My sincere condolences to the family of an old friend. Many years, many projects, he was always helpful, brilliant and dependable.

I really thought Jim was a genius in his field and had him help me many times during my construction career. We actually laughed every time we met much more than we worked. I retired 3 years ago but still thought about Jim having enjoyed his friendship.

A truly amazing individual. We found him to be incredibly intelligent and practical in his structural solutions to our projects. He had a gentil demeanor but was always very forceful in his beliefs. He will be missed by the design community.

So very sorry to lose the oldest of the cousins. We had good times together as kids. Love to the family, Ginny

Jim's legacy preceded my meeting and working with him for the first time more than thirty years ago as a green, still unlicensed architect working on-site in construction. His sensible tutelage guided me from that point forward and it was a great pleasure to work with him in various capacities on so many more. Jim's integrity, humor, and commitment to finding creative and efficient structural solutions to both simple and complex problems made him one-of-a-kind. I will miss his sage advice on...

I have had the privilege of knowing Jim for 20 years. He asked questions constantly, always looking for the optimal solution. By his words and his actions, one could clearly see that he cared deeply for those who worked with him at JPS and QPK. Jim was a man I respected and admired, he made the world a better place. May he rest in peace.

I have known Jim since 2001. I will miss him a lot. May His Memory be Eternal. Philip E. Yanulis
