Not sure what to say?

Bless you, Dr Cohen, for teaching me how cool chemistry really is. You will both be missed!

We were devastated to learn today, August 24, 2017 of the sudden death of KU graduate school long time friend, Shel Cohen and his wife. Shel was Wayne's best man at a time very close to the arrival of their first child and we were very grateful that he made the effort on that day, July 31, 1965.

Since going our separate ways, Wayne as professor of chemistry at Macalester College in St. Paul, MN and Shel at Washburn University, we've kept in touch. We relished Shel's post Christmas...

So sorry for your loss-- Gerry and Cohen family.

Alex - I'm very sorry to hear about your parents. They were always very nice to me when I was over at your place, and I always enjoyed your dad's sense of humor. My condolences to you and your brothers.

Dan and I are saddened by this tragedy. May the love Sheldon and Virginia have shown you carry you through out your lives. I remember how proud they were when they spoke of their children and grandchildren. May God wrap his loving arms around your family and may you be comforted by one another and the fact that the love and bond you share is eternal.

Gerry and the Cohen Family,

I was saddened to hear of your tragic loss.
May God Bless you all!

We are so sorry for your lost. Words cannot express our feelings. We will keep your family in our thoughts and prayers.

To Alex, Will, Gerry, and all the Cohen family:

Please accept sympathies for such a tragic loss from the Guarr family. (We were your neighbors from across the street in Topeka. The house was sold to the Casper family when we moved.)
I know your parents will be missed and fondly remembered by everyone who met them, and especially by residents of the old neighborhood.

The Guarr family, David Guarr, (Shawnee KS) and Judy, Mike, and Tom.

Gerry and the Cohen Family,

Our hearts and prayers are with you.
