Emily: I only today heard the news of Barry's passing. Although we unfortunatley only seemed to get together for college or fraternity events (very infrequent) I always thought Barry was a wonderful, sweet and thoughtful guy. He will be missed by all of us who knew him.
Very sincerely, Andrew Klinger

My condolences to the Cohen family.

I had the pleasure of knowing Barry as an adversary several years ago on a hard fought legal case.

He was anything but adversarial.

A true gentleman and professional.

I wish his traits were more widespread in the legal community.

We lawyers have lost someone special as well.
