Jacob Cohen

March 22 will always be remembered , pics taken on your last birthday with us keeps popping up on my phone to remind me how and who a great friend i found in you, you are still that man of all seasons . I will celebrate you always Jerry Jecob Cohen .

Jerry was a sweet guy with a great sense of humor, working with him was great, He graduated from being a client to a best friend. His advices, love and passion for singing was great. We understood each other , and singing was the only way i could get him to calm down incase he was not feeling ok. I´m missing afriend, father figure and my family missed a dear one.He was one in a million.

Dr Cohen, Jerry to most, was one of the most wonderful people I have ever met! I came to Brandies in my 30's with children in tow, scared of how little I thought I knew. Jerry welcomed me to the AMST program & I never looked back. He was wonderful, creating a place of not only education, but of true wonderment of the world as a whole. When I couldn't find a sitter to stay with my, then 9 year old daughter, he made sure she was comfortable in his lecture hall. He may have been surprised, when...

He was a fantastic professor! A brilliant mind and a kind warm sense of humor. One of my best!

Dear Cohen Family, My condolences for your loss. I am a scholar of Albert Murray's work, and this obituary for Mr. Cohen was sent to me via my Google Alert for Albert Murray. I know of Mr. Murray's association with Mr. Cohen (through Ralph Ellison's letter to Mr. Cohen of 11/23/64), but I had never heard the claim that Mr. Cohen and Mr. Murray edited a magazine together (nor is there a record of it in Mr. Murray's archive). I would like to learn more about this if possible. You'll see on...
