Harvey Rappaport retired from CBS Broadcasting,
where he worked for News, Sports and Entertainment divisions in his early
career, and just prior to retiring, was VP Operations at CBS’s international
division. He found out about Chore from
reading an article in his local newspaper.
He felt it would be a good match, as he considers himself handy and is
always up for a challenge. He also dog
walks for START II, a small private animal shelter in Englewood. In his spare time he enjoys traveling, going
to the theater and caring for his 5 rescue cats.
He and his crew members in the Tuesday Chore
van #1 have completed many safety repairs such as grab bars, smoke detectors
and hand railings to make the home safer, but they have also completed some
repairs for seniors who are overwhelmed by technology, such as setting up a
simple medical alert system. “The
elderly have a need to be kept safe as they stay in their homes. They are susceptible to unscrupulous people,
and we at Chore can be very helpful to them.
There’s nothing better than when we receive a big ‘Thank You and God
Bless’ when we leave a home better than when we found it.”
