The world is a better place because Cohen was in it. He will be remembered as a man of integrity, a man who served God and Country, a devoted husband, a loving father, and a kind friend. Cohen is a man other men want to emulate. He had a profound impact on our lives. May the love of God and friends comfort and sustain the entire family today and in the days to come.

Dear Aunt Jean, Wanda, Brenda and Family
Our Hearts go out to you all during this time. Words won't express our sadness in the loss of such a wonderful man. Uncle Cohen was the last of his kind for sure. I remember his laughter and such good spirit about him. His love for family shined thru in everything. I know what he meant to daddy, and I hope he knew what he meant to all of us here. We love ya'll so much, even in distance and years between being together, you all mean so much to us.
Memories bring such joy even if so few, but Memories that will last a life time. I know Daddy was standing there waiting for him. He's Ok
You are always in our prayers
and in our hearts
