Cruz: Another Aspen icon passes
The recent death of Gideon Kaufman is incomprehensible. He was a beloved father, rabbi, and gifted attorney. Aside from his charm, humor, intelligence, and good looks, Gideon was an amazing athlete, fabulous skier, strong cyclist, and barefoot waterskiing champion. He was a kind and generous man, and he will be greatly missed not only in Aspen but around the country.
During the years I worked for him, he was always respectful, professional, and thoughtful, never raising his voice. Additionally, he was a wonderful speaker. The last time I spoke to him, he was at John Ely’s memorial reading, a beautiful poem about death and loss.
Aspen has suffered great losses this month. My deepest condolences to his family.
