Not sure what to say?

Jerry restera à jamais une figure marquante dans nos vies. En vacances à New York avec ma famille, je repense à ma toute première visite dans cette ville, aux côtés de ma mère, j´avais 12 ans. Mes pensées sincères vont à sa famille et à ses proches. Son souvenir demeure vivant.

Elizabeth and your sweet daughters,
Heartbroken at your loss but I rejoice in the blessed life you shared with your dear husband and father. So glad you found such happiness.

Oh my goodness; the memories I hold dear of Jerry Cohen! I was the Chef on his private yacht for several years where I was able to travel extensively in the US and I will never forget my summer in the Mediterranean aboard The William I. Truly wonderful memories! I learned many things in his employ and had the utmost respect for him. My condolences to Michael and Robin, his wife and daughter as well.

Our condolences for the family. May God's loving kindness comfort you and help you through this sad and difficult time. Psalms 119:50,76.

A sad day for those who ever had an opportunity to interface with this real estate genius. I never took for granted the lessons I learned from Jerry. Difficult to follow, almost impossible to please. Nonetheless, a tremendous individual. Someone who shaped an entire industry with his unbridled knowledge, candor, and wit.
I can still hear his guiding comments ringing in my head.
Rest in peace old friend.

To the family of Mr. Cohen. May our god and creator bring you comfort in this time of pain and sorrow. Mathews 5:4

Jerry was a mentor and a friend. All my best wishes to his family and colleagues at Williams Real Estate Company
