Hey Grandpa! Think about you always. Hope your watching my kids grow so that you dont miss a thing. Please whisper some words of wisdom in my ear when I sleep so that I can be amazing like you! Dad is taking us camping and fishing today!! Were leaving in 2 hrs. I hope you visit us by the camp fire tonight. I know pops will be sharing stories of you, and I greatly look forward to it! Gosh Gramps, I found out so many amazing things about you after you left. Im just so proud of all you have accomplished. I wish you were here so I could sit and listen to your life stories and soak them up like a sponge! You are so fascinating to me! See you up North Gramps, meet you by the Rim! Love and miss you Dearly! xoxo

We can't believe how quickly this year went by; seems like only yesterday, we said our goodbyes; reminiscing about the past; seeing how this precious life we have, can come at us so fast.

Danny, Thinking of you today as a year has passed, and it feels like yesterday..Through my beautiful daughters I know life is not the same without you. Thankyou for being their grandfather, for your sense of humor, your jokes, laughter, and your beautiful smile. Your love lives on through all of your family!
We miss you! always in our hearts..

Time this time…
Dad,
It’s almost been a year now but it still seems like yesterday,
that we all had to stand by, and just let you slip away.
I thought it would get easier, since I was already grown and gone my way,
But I realize it was just knowing you’d be there on any given day…
I think I took for granted, that I could call you when I’d need. Didn’t take the time to visit much, knowing I’d see you eventually...
I’d wait until the next party, holiday or fishing trip, then talk to you about everything, trying to catch you up on things we’d missed…
I thought it was ok though Dad, since it was the norm for us.
Just to see you when I’d see you, it seemed to be enough.
Now here I am feeling that I miss you more today. I wonder how you’re doing,
Want you to let me know that you’re ok.
I’m always looking for some kind of sign, that you are somewhere near. That if I need you I can call and you will still be there.
I want to talk to you about the daily stuff, going on in my life. Sit with you like we used to on the fresh mowed grass while you give me advice.
I want to walk with you along the waters edge, to find the perfect place to hunker down, and set up all our fishing poles, with all the family gathered round.
Dad, I just wish I had the chance again, to share some time with you.
I hate that a letter now is all that I can do. I hate the not knowing, if you know how I feel, but worse I know that time this time, can’t ever make you real…
Dad, I love you and miss you still..

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

God full of mercy who dwells on high,
Grant perfect rest on the wings of Your Divine Presence in the lofty heights of the holy and pure who shine as the brightness of the heavens to the soul of Dan.
His resting place shall be in the Garden of Eden.
Therefore, the Master of mercy will care for him under the protection of His wings for all time.
And bind his soul in the bond of everlasting life.
God is his inheritance and he will rest in peace.
Amen

Dad,
I love you and I miss you more than words can ever express. I miss your jokes and the sound of your laugh. I miss your smile and the beautiful sparkle in your big blue eyes. I miss your great big hugs and kisses! I even miss the way you always threatened to make a Chuy and Chulupa taco! I love you Dad from the depths of my soul.
Happy Birthday.

I remember working at Danny's
Drive-In with the family. Danny always had the boys raking and watering the rocks in the driveway. This was a family tradition for all of the boys. They were out there for hours. Everything inside of Danny's was well organized, labeled, nice and neat. Danny would come out and greet his customers and joke around with them. He personalized everything he did. But that's Danny!
He touched many peoples lives in more ways than can ever be expressed. His wit, and come backs kept your skills sharpened.
Got to be on your toes when he was around!
This man was a pillar of strength and the glue to his family. It won't ever be same, but just know that his love will continue to flow through your hearts and he is watching over all of us!
We love you Danny!
See you in our dream time..
All my love and prayers to the Family!

Hey Pops
I remember when I was just a little guy, you started me raking the gravel driveway at our house on 7th St and Cocopah. You always took care of the yard like it was Dodger Stadium. Well, I was raking the drive this way and that way, when you said, "If you aren't going to do it right don't do it at all." So I started for the door. Cartoons were on, "Wallace and Ladmo". That's when I felt it going through me, that stare, then the hand on my collar. We had the sharpest gravel driveway on the block. I know it wasn't about raking the gravel, it was about much, much, more than the yard, you started teaching me lessons early on about earning a good life. You did, and you had an amazingly full life. Treasured memories from family gatherings and holidays, fishing and hunting expeditions, nights with you at the hospital, will live deep in my heart.When we go hunting to the famed Kaibab, Saddle Mt, or the Strip, Poverty & Grassy Mts, Klondyke, w/Tex ( " I've got nothing to do and all day to do it" ) Salazar, Unit 9 Skinner Ridge, I will find comfort in walking in your "footprints" that you and I left on previous trips. Each night the warmth, glow and sparkle of our campfire will be coming from you telling us your stories.
Thanks Pops for being you, My Father, sometimes big brother, mentor, and friend.Love you POPS
Steven Cohen # 1, first, uno,number 1, you get it.

Goodbye I cannot say…
Farewell maybe, or vaya con Dios, to a truly great man of many talents
and many strengths, the greatest of which will always be
the strength of his unsurpassed love for his family.
With the most profound love and appreciation for all you are and have always been,
Goodnight,
Until we meet again.

I moved to Arizona form New Mexico in 1987.Shortly thereafter I met the Cohen family. My father raised me to have a great passion andrespect for the outdoors. One of my biggest concerns about moving here was finding someone who shares those beliefs. I couldn't believe my good fourtune when I found a whole family!Dan and his sons took me in without hesitation. They took me to all thier secret hunting and fishing spots and treated me just like I was a member of the family.Over many years of going hunting and fishing with Dan and his sons, my admisation and respect for this man has increased with every meeting.His wonderful upbeat personality,ethics,and respect for the outdoors will be greatly missed by me. Thank god for his sons,whome he instilled these wonderful traits in,as they are truly my best friends. They are all a testiment to their father. I look foreward to future trips with the Cohen family. Dan will be with us,I can assure you. I will always think of him as my father away from home.

It is hard to express what sadness and grief is felt by the loss of someone until you have the opportunity to see what a life meant to so many. We have never experienced the love, respect and honor of someone as much as we did at Dan's service. If the measure of a man is his life then the overwhelming show of gratitude for the passing of one is the true testament of his life's meaning. Our prayer and hope is that his legacy will live on and be the foundation of the tireless effort, integrity and direction he brought to ARCA and all he must have given himself to. Our sympathy to all who feel his loss.

I will miss the times we sat in Dan's office and talked about family, friends, and relationships. Dan had such a vast amount of knowledge on so many different topics. Dan loved his family and he loved ARCA. I will miss his passion for the association. He was so proud of the monies ARCA charities have provided for the youth of Arizona. Dan, for being short, we have some big shoes to fill. Love and prayers to all your family.

Grandpa, I admire so many things about you. Your strong will, your dedication to all that you did. Your love for the outdoors. You truly held so many great qualities that others gravitated towards you. Not only were you a teacher but you led by example. Last Easter you sat down at a table in your back yard and told my sisters and I about the day my dad came into this world! I could have sat there all day and listened to you tell that story. I'm filled with sorrow to know I cant listen to you tell me stories any more. However, I will look to my father to share many more stories of you. My dad is my hero and wouldn't be the great man that he is with out the guidance of you. Words cant describe what you mean to our family. You will be forever missed. No other Santa could ever replace you. Sincere Love! I patiently wait to hear your stories again!

Dear Danny,
In many ways you remind me of our Dad.
You very much loved your family, fishing, hunting and family gatherings. You have taught your children to love and respect each other.
I know you are now with Dad and our Holy Father. I look forward to the day that we will all be reunited again.
I love you.

Uncle Danny,
When the Lord calls a loved one home, He leaves the gift of memories in exchange. You made many memories for me from fishing and hunting, to Klondike and the Grand Canyon, to Disneyland and of course Vegas. You've touched many people in many generations.
Our memories are the legacy of your love.

Uncle Danny,
I still have a memory of sitting on your lap on my mom's front porch when I first met you 54 years ago. You gave us a wonderful childhood taking us many places we would never have gone to. I was so sorry to hear that you were ill. Now I'm very saddened to know you are gone. What comforts me is to know you are not hurting any more. I'm glad I got to see you. It has been one hell of a month. Till we meet again.

I deeply regret that I never got a chance to partake on one of the great Cohen camping
adventures. Dan’s love of the outdoors and respect for nature is reflected in the many stories and
memories around the camp fire, shared by his family. You lived life to the fullest and gave so
much back in returned. Rest in peace dear sportsman.

Most knew him as Dan; the "Straight talking" Executive Director of the Arizona Roofing Contractors Association. I simply knew him as Grandfather, but he was so much more: he was my teacher, he was my strength, my mentor and the voice in my head when I doubted my own abilities. Pops taught me how to drive a vehicle, how to take pride in a job well done, how to never give up on my dreams and to always put family first. Pops took me on my first camping trip; up to Turkey Creek. He had been driving on a narrow winding road; I warned him "there are two huge boulders coming up on my side" he said "I see um, I'm fine" which was followed by a loud scraping sound, but Pops didn't stop he headed towards camp. I opened my door; my foot dropped to the ground; I said "Hey Pops weren't there steps on this side?" he replied "Yes; two of them" I said "Not anymore" and he said "Well ain't that a S.O.B; you wrecked my truck". All weekend Pops was telling people "Nic knocked my steps off". I will always remember those camping and hunting trips with Pops and my Uncles; they make up some of my best and fondest memories. My Grandfather was a great man and I feel so blessed to be his Granddaughter. I will never forget the lessons he taught me and I will never forget HIM. Like so many others my Grandfather made my life brighter and made me a better person. Pops I LOVE YOU DEARLY and I will MISS YOU IMMENSELY. You've left an imprint on my soul and a mark on my heart. XOXOXO Nikki...
