Jason Kaplan's Obituary
Jason Kaplan, 52, passed away peacefully on Friday December 10, 2021, surrounded by family
and friends. A native of Long Island, Jason resided in Monroe, New York for many years with
his beloved wife, Christine Kaplan (nee: Gilson), son Andrew Kaplan and his loyal companion
Smudge. He was a Director of Information Technology, working for companies such as IBM,
AGT, and Dell. Jason had a passion for skiing, spending much of his youth on the slopes with his
family. As a devoted father and avid photographer, Jason was a fixture at Monroe-Woodbury’s
sporting events taking photos of his son and teammates. A diehard Jets fan, Jason had a great
sense of humor and often needed it, sitting in the cold at MetLife Stadium rooting for his
cherished team.
Jay will be dearly missed by all who knew him. He is survived by his mother, Lynn Blecker
Dolgicer; his father, Allen Kaplan and wife Iris; his devoted brothers, Steven Kaplan, and wife
Rachel; Ken Kaplan, and wife Maria; along with many nieces and nephews.
