I tried to contact Berrnie after Pheobe passed but never could.I just now though of doing a google search. Hope all is well - Love Joel

Bernie, We hadn't known each other for very long but in that short time - well I hope you won't be insulted if I share that you were the grandfather/ father I never had. Thank you for all the wonderful stories about your life in New York, for introducing me to Rugalah and Borscht for the first time, from the story behind Wagner's opera, to teaching me about the vestibular system and Jewish history.

I knew Bernard Cohen for over half a century, and had the privilege of working for him throughout most of those memorable years. I will always cherish his memory and the times we spent together at the lab, his home, on social occasions and abroad. And I will forever be very grateful to him for aiding me in a special hour of need. My heartfelt condolences to his family.

Bernie was a hero to me and I could not have had a better boss for over 10 years. He was an amazing person with the best smile and personality of anyone on this planet. I have so many things I could say and they are all just amazing. I went to Moscow with his research team twice and he was universally respected on all ends of the world. What a great man.

Our sincerest condolences.
