I offer my condolences to Kim, Barry, Michael,Barbara, Sadie, and Max. I met your father at events in the past, and easily remember the pride he took in his great children, and I am sure the same was true for the grandchildren. He was a devoted father, and friend to his family, and others. I know others knew him much better,but offer deep sympathy to a special family. I am sorry for all, and offer my friendship, and support. With love, Betty Goodwin

Dr.Cohen and I had a great relationship, we always had fun and were joking around. He even tricked me to light the menorah with him so he could tell me that it meant we were now married. He had a great sense of humor. I will truly miss him. I'm glad he is no longer hurting and will be watching over me and my children from above. Glad to have that angel on my side. I love you Dr.Cohen and I'll see you on the other side.

A wonderful brother who had a heart of gold. I not only lost a sibling, but a friend who help me in my times of need. He was the happiest around his children & grandchildren. They were the world to him . He always had a smile on his face & a glow about him when he talked to me about Kim & Adam.Barry loved politics, sports & helping people..
I will truely miss him. I hold in my heart the great memories we had. May he have peace & may God rest his soul.

Barry was a staple in Nancy's house for so long and was my neighbor growing up on West Side Drive. He was such a joy to talk to. He always listened and was up on all the politics, sports, news...everything. He can keep a converation with anyone. Smart too! He was fun to spend time with and I will certainly miss him. I do believe he is in a better place-and we will see him in our next life. In the meantime, prayers to Barbara, Kim, Adam and the entire family. Also to all those who had the pleasure of knowing him.
