Dear Tom Cogan Family,
Our sincere condolences. One of the first places we went coming here 10 years ago was Cogan's. From that day on we knew we could always depend on a warm and friendly greeting from Tom. His desire to please and make everyone comfortable is a rarity today. He leaves a void in our town and in our hearts. God speed Tom Cogan!

My aunt, sister and I were at his Old Brooklyn bar on opening day (mid 80's) and many times thereafter. He was such a fun loving guy. So sorry to hear of his passing

Dear Heather and family,
I heard the sad news about Tom yesterday from my friend. The restaurant was one of the first places I went when I moved out here 11 years ago. Tom was always welcoming and kind. Burton won't be the same without him cooking out in the summer and wearing the beanie hat! My deepest condolences to you at this huge loss,

Dear Cogan Family,
I had not heard the sad news until yesterday. My heart goes out to his entire family. Tom was always truthful, kind and generous to me. I will truely miss this remarkable man. I used to go to his original resturant on a regular basis but, after Red passed away I have been unable to go to the new location, still grieving his loss even after all these years.
My prayers go out to you during this very sad time.
Thank you Tom for touching my life in such a...
