Kaplan, Harold C.
Kaplan, Harold, 85, passed away on Thursday, June 30, 2022, at the HopeHealth Hulitar Hospice Center of Providence. He was the beloved husband of the late Marcia L. (Hittner) Kaplan for 58 years. Born in Pawtucket, a son of the late Robert and Ethyl (Glassman) Kaplan, he had lived in Pawtucket for most of his life before moving with his wife and children to Cranston in 1968.
He was a proud Navy Veteran who served in the late fifties, once leaving the Armed Forces, he met and married Marcia. He was a dedicated salesman for exactly fifty-five years. He provided safe, efficient, and reliable home goods and appliances for many Rhode Island businesses, his pride in this job resonated every day until his retirement in December of 2015.
Harry was a proud New England Sports fan, as well as an avid beachgoer. He thrived when the two passions intertwined and he was thankful to share these two passions with his incredible children, William D. Kaplan of Cranston, Gary B. Kaplan of Los Angeles, CA and Edward S. Kaplan of Silver Springs, MD.
Harold was the dear brother of Ellen (William) Troberman of Cranston; Loving grandfather of Sarah L. Kaplan of Cranston and Andrew S. Kaplan of Cranston and cherished great grandfather of Xyler Kaplan.

I will say Kaddish for him.
Ellen,
Please accept my condolences. I have fond very early childhood memories of being on the same Pawtucket Avenue bus as Harold–on leave from the Navy for a few days and on his way home to visit you and your parents. His warmth and friendliness made a real impression.
