I had Mr. Cohen as my 11th grade home room teacher at Milford Mill Hill. He was very kind and considerate. He gave me a beautiful bound edition of A Christmas Carol in a slip binder for Christmas that year.
I did not know his family, but even at this late date, will keep them and him in my daily prayers.

Professor Cohen was one of the most incredible people I can honestly say I've ever met. I am a former student and was trying to look up his contact information again to reach out and see how he was doing when I found this information. I was a single mom and he was willing to work with me and my touchy work schedule so that I could make it through my math classes. He went above and beyond by allowing me to miss some classes when most professors would never have permitted such. Not only this but he would make time to give me the cliff notes and help me catch up and answer my questions if I had any. He was incredibly patient and could explain things so very well. not only that but the extra time and care he devoted really encourage me to do my best, not only for myself, but to make him proud and to give back to him for the efforts he made. He invested in me. And I appreciate his heart so very much to this day. I also miss the stories of all the former students he strategically "set up" together who are married to this day. You could simply see the enjoyment in his face and satisfaction. I will never forget the kindness he extended to me and my daughter. We need more people in this world just like him and if there was any way I could clone him I would. :) The world is a better place for having had him in it. The impact he has made continues to have a ripple effect and he is remembered.

I was one of Professor Cohens math students as well as helped him around his office and with grading during my time at Towson University.
I was just trying to look him up to catch up with him, when I came across this information of his passing.
I can't say enough good things about Professor Cohen. He was the kindest person, and a true mentor and friend to me.
I am so disheartened to hear of his passing, and will forever cherish the memories of our time together.
May he Rest In Peace ❤

I was just looking up Professor Cohen to try to catch up with him when I found this horrible news. I was one of Professor Cohen's math students and one of his grading assistants during my time at Towson University. What a truly amazing person he was. I will forever cherish our time together. May he Rest In Peace. ❤

Mr. Cohen was truly an amazing man. I had the pleasure of being his teaching assistant this past year and he truly was amazing. He was the kindest, sweetest, most generous person I have ever met. I could not be more thankful for the time I got to spend with Mr. Cohen.

Condolences to all. Will be greatly missed as my cousin Jerry. You were my favorite funny cousin when I was a young child.

Jerry was a kind, dedicated, and caring teacher and advisor for many students at Towson University. He believed that every one of his students could succeed at math. Quite a few of his students did not believe that about themselves, but Jerry's confidence in his students and love of teaching them made the difference for many of those students. I believe that his affiliation with Towson State Teachers College, Towson State College, Towson State University, and Towson University was spread over parts or all of 7 different decades from the 1950's to the 2010's. Jerry was a remarkable man and I am glad that our paths crossed

Dear Cohen Family,
Please accept my deepest sympathy, I am sorry to read of the passing of your love one, who will be missed. Losing a love one in death is never easy. It's in times like these when the loving promises of our Heavenly Father can bring comfort. Knowing you will see your dear loved one again, can bring you comfort and may soften some of the pain that you are feeling deep within your heart, 1Thessalonians 4:13-14.

Jerry Cohen was a friendly, likeable person. He was also a very good teacher. I was one of his trigonometry/analytics math students at MMHS. He attended the 67 class reunions with us.
