APFEL Fanchon Marks Apfel, progressive philan-
thropist and beloved wife, mother, grand-
mother and friend, died on July 31, 2017.
She was 84 years old. Born on June 2, 1933
in New York City, she graduated from Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania in 1954. While at
Penn, she met her future husband, Jerome B.
Apfel, who was a student at University of
Pennsylvania Law School. After marrying in
1955, they settled in Philadelphia and Fan-
chon worked as an occupational therapist be-
fore raising four children, Sarah Apfel of New
York City, David M. Apfel (b. May 19, 1962 d.
March 7, 2007), Matthew B. Apfel of Wood-
side, California, and Ira A. Apfel of Washing-
ton, D.C. Her husband died on October 16,
2006. She was the mother-in-law of Thomas
Nicholls, Jacqueline Reses and Gina Kim and
the grandmother of Sophie, Emilia, Isabel,
Charlotte and Owen. During World War II her
father, Dr. Harry Marks, was an Army doctor
stationed at Japanese-American internment
camps in California and Arkansas, and Fan-
chon grew up living just outside these facilit-
ies. Witnessing injustices at places like Tule
Lake helped develop Fanchon’s empathy for
the neediest and most vulnerable in society,
and she spent much of her life as a philan-
thropist, activist and staunch supporter of
many progressive causes as well as Beth
David Reform Congregation and the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania. Contributions in her

KULKWITZ
DEATH NOTICES
KULKOWITZ Harry Kulkowitz led an extraordinary life.
Passed away on August, 22, 2017. Born on
November 2, 1924 to Morris and Sophie
Kulkowitz, who had fled Eastern European
anti-semitism, Harry was raised in a socially
conscious community where he absorbed a
commitment to helping people as well as a
prodigious work ethic. Enlisting under age in
the army to fight Hitler, Harry served his
country both as aerial photographer and as a
radio intercept operator under Patton, actu-
ally intercepting the first German message
that presaged by hours the Battle of the
Bulge. Photography was Harry’s passion. He
was never without his camera. After his dis-
charge from the army, Harry set up a portrait
studio in New York. He also opened a lunch-
eonette with his beloved sister, Sylvia. After
moving with his family to Philadelphia, wife,
Beena and their two children, Sigrid and
Susan, and son, Mark born of Harry’s previ-
ous marriage to Inga, Harry worked as a pic-
ture framer which led to his creating the Ken-
more Art Gallery. He did this without the
usual pedigrees. Rather, trusting his inner
intelligence and unquenchable passion, he
built one of the most prestigious fine art gal-
leries in Philadelphia. In 1975 Harry moved to
Cape May. While playing poker with friends in
the Carroll Villa Hotel, Harry mused, “If I
could just get an awning on this porch, I
could create a great restaurant, community
meeting center and art gallery.” Thus, was
born the Mad Batter Restaurant. With the
Mad Batter, Harry and his partner, Vickie
Seitchik, initiated what became the Cape May
Restaurant Renaissance. Authentic, complic-
ated, passionate, filled with an astonishing
creativity and energy, Harry lived his life with
people at its center. He loved being there for
you—talking, encouraging, helping. A gener-
ous and loving family man and friend, Harry
worked hard to make sure his family was
provided for and did well in their lives. Over
the years, so many people wrote to him,
called him to say that he had deeply im-
pacted their lives. Vickie’s son, Mark noted:
“Most of what is expansive in my life, Harry
had a hand in influencing.” On Harry’s wall is
a photograph from award winning photo-
grapher Denis Finley, the Batter’s first break-
fast chef. The inscription states: “Harry.
Many years ago you gave me the greatest gift
of my life, the ability to believe in myself.”
Starting in 2004, Harry’s son, Mark accom-
panied in different years by daughters, Sigrid
and Susan, grandchildren and friends (with a
special shout out to Kathi) travelled with
Harry to the Normandy town of Houseville on
D Day, where D Day veteran Harry was feted,
embraced, kissed by every woman in the
town in their emotional and heartfelt gratit-
ude. In France, Harry was knighted and awar-
ded the French Legion of Honor. In 2014,
Harry sat on the stage, alongside President
Obama, who lauded this son of Jewish im-
migrant parents. Harry, we will miss you
greatly. Harry is survived by his son Mark
and wife Pam, their children Marta (Herbie),
Kyle (Lia) and Tessa and great grandchildren,
Nora and Anders: His daughter Sigrid, her
husband Shaul and their sons Nadav, Kalil
and Sigrid’s son Paul: His daughter Susan
and her daughter Satya (Frank): His life part-
ner, Vickie and her son, David and partner
Tamara and son Mark and his husband Jon.
Harry is predeceased by his beloved sister
Sylvia Hecht and his ex-wife Beena Kulkowitz.
A graveside service was held on Thursday
(Aug. 24 th ) at 5pm in the Cape May County
Veteran’s Cemetery, Crest Haven Rd., Cape
May Court House. In lieu of flowers, memori-
