Throw our deepest sorrows in God's hands because he will always be there to comfort us Psalms 55 vs 22. Please accept my condolences.

Sincerely,

Dear Sylvia and family,

Holly and I are deeply saddened by Albert's passing. He was a marvelous colleague and friend. Our thoughts are with you. We hope you can find solace in wonderful memories of many happy years together.

I extend my deepest sympathies to Tad and his family. Although I never met Mr. Cohn, I have the privilege of working with his son, Tad. It appears he left a loving legacy which is a blessing to each one. My prayers are with you.

My deepest sympathies go to Tad and his family at this difficult time. I remember meeting Mr. Cohn when Tad performed in "A Few Good Men", and I remember him telling me how proud he was of his son, and how glad he was to see him play his part so well. He was a gentle soul who will be greatly missed.

Some of my best and earliest childhood memories include Albert and the amazing Cohn family every New Year's eve. Up late at night, tearing the house apart, I always remember his laughter. He was like a second father to me in a way, always welcoming, accepting, loving. He will be sorely missed, and remembered often. We have a candle burning right now for him out here in San Francisco. All my love and hugs for you, Sylvia, Melissa, Josh, Priscilla, "Liiz-y", Tad and their families.

a great lawyer and a true gentlman. he will be missed and not forgotten.

To Priscilla, Mrs. Cohn, and the entire Cohn family - you are in my thoughts and prayers at this time.

When I first met Albert during the Rutgers Moot Court competitions, I sensed he was someone special. Here the man who made the competition possible was taking time to give each of us an encouraging word or ask about our future plans. When he took me on as a summer associate, he invited me to trial with him, always taking care to introduce me to judges and fellow attorneys. Upon joining the firm, I observed the culture he instilled of care for the entire person, marked by regard for the needs...

I first met Albert Cohn at a job interview back in 1978. Albert called me Miss Margaret. I was amazed. No one other than my Uncle Guy had ever called me that and Uncle Guy had done so since I was a small child. This was amazing. Albert knew my Uncle. I was a shoe-in for the job! Soon I came to realize that Albert affectionately referred to all the ladies at Cohn Lifland as "Miss" followed by their first name. Many years have come and gone since that day in '78 but up until his last...
