Obituary for Richard E. Charkham

Richard E. Charkham
Richard E. Charkham, 75, of Blue Point, New York, died on October 29, 2021 of PSP, a rare form of Parkinson’s disease. Born on December 2, 1945 in London, England he attended Kilburn Grammar School from 1957 to 1964 and after studying at the College of Law in London became a solicitor, practicing law in both the UK and Israel. He lived in London, Tel Aviv, Los Angeles and New York City, obtaining his commercial real estate license in 1994. His career representing tenants such as The Economist, Institutional Investor and Human Rights First spanned 26 years with CBRE, Williams, Cresa and Colliers International. Richard was a life long fan of Arsenal Football Club and a lover of joke telling, although he often laughed so hard he never got to the punch line. He was a lover of literature, especially Shakespeare and British history and passionate about jazz music and American musicals. Early this year he retired to Long Island and made arrangements to donate his brain to the brain bank at the Mayo Clinic when he passed to help shed new light on the underlying causes of PSP. He is survived by his wife of 28 years, Donna Kaz; his son Avi Charkham and wife Sharon; his daughter, Ella Charkham, and three grandchildren, Stav, Shahar and Yarden. Donations in his name can be made to the brain bank at the Mayo clinic. A memorial is scheduled for December 12 on Long Island.
