Once in a while, one of those special people comes around. Peter was one of those "Special people." Wether it was his special talents as a loving caring husband, a doting father, a terrific athlete or his distinguished career as head of security for O'Reilly's Daughter, he brought his gifts to all he encountered. His gifts at story telling and humor are legendary. He brought a smile to all of our lives. Thou we may be losing Peter J. Cohn, the "Gappa" will live within us all forever! I'm a better person for having known him.

Dear Pat, Sara and Peter,
I was very sorry to hear of Peter's passing. Both Marcia and I send our heartfelt condolences to each of you. We will always remember the fun times we had going back to our early days at Gardencrest Apartments. Peter always kept us laughing. I also remember him pulling up in front of Cheers once in a while and hearing his famous "HEY KID." He always carried the updated pictures of the kids that he was so proud to show off. We will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Eddie and marcia Doyle

Pat, Sara, Dean, Peter, Michelle, Kira and Nick: It will be difficult without the big guy, but your wonderful memories will help you along the way. I'm so glad I got to play golf with Peter in August. He had such a love for the game and that day he told me how much each of you meant to him. I'm sure he is in heaven holding court with his talking stick as we speak.
Love to all of you. Donna Postizzi

Pete,
I kept my promise and never told Pat it was you who ate half the turkey when we were down in Humarock. That $10 payoff bought you a 25 year silence.
I am going to keep the pink lacoste shirt I swiped from you that summer back in '83. I'll miss you!
