 Obit:  Financier and diamond merchant Maurice Templesman, 95, died on August 23.  He is best known as being the longtime "companion" of Jackie Onassis.  

He died as a result of complications from a fall.

Tempelsman and Kennedy Onassis’ relationship blossomed decades later, after her second husband, Onassis, died in 1975. By the early 1980s, Tempelsman and Kennedy Onassis made public appearances together. They shared an interest in art, culture, music, the French language (in which they were both fluent) and the finer things in life.

Templesman remained married to Burkos until she died in 2022.

Templesman and Kennedy Onassis were romantically linked until she died in 1994. In 1993, when she was diagnosed with lymphatic cancer, he moved his office into her apartment and escorted her to and from the hospital and in the years leading to her death, he never left her side. He also served as her financial adviser and helped her quadruple the $26 million estate Aristotle left her.
