On September 1st, 2015, we said goodbye to our biggest fan. Cliff Kaufman (Charlotte's dad) passed away after a long battle with kidney cancer. Mr. Kaufman was a supportive fan of the show and was our biggest cheerleader. He listened to every episode released even when the topic didn't interest him. He was always available for an encouraging word, suggestions for show topics, and advice on how to make things better. His favorite episode of The Lettuce Podcast was our Dr. Lettuce episode, as James Bond books and movies were some of his favorites. Our most recent episode, Harry Potter and the Deathly Lettuce, was dedicated to him and his memory. Future episodes which feature James Bond as a topic will also be dedicated to him.
Mr. Kaufman's actions as a friend of the podcast are nothing compared to his role as a father. Charlotte always spoke of him in the highest regard, saying that he was always willing to listen to her when she needed to talk. He encouraged her to follow her instincts and supported her opinions about many facets of life. Because of this loving connection with her father, Charlotte went to great measures to spend as much time with him as possible in his final months. Their relationship was special and strong, as only a father-daughter relationship could be.
Mr. Kaufman was a fun loving and spirited man who loved all of his family very much - even his chihuahuas Minnie and Pico!
Our thoughts and love go out to the Kaufman family in this tough time. We are sad to say goodbye to our biggest fan, but can't imagine the heartache it must be to lose such a wonderful husband, father, brother, and uncle. For more information about Cliff Kaufman and his life, please read his obituary.
As the end of the year approaches and charitable donations are being planned, please consider donating to the Kidney Cancer Association in memory of Cliff Kaufman.
