DANIEL COHEN

COHEN--DANIEL Daniel B. Cohen, died February 9, 2015 at the age of 85. Born and raised in Bensonhurst and Palestine, Daniel joined the Israeli Air Force in 1948 to fight in the war for independence and afterward became a navigator for El Al. He returned to the U.S. to study geology at the University of Kansas and eventually moved back to New York, where he had an accomplished 30-year career at Segal & Co. A constant source of joy and comfort to his late wife, Fern, his children and grandchildren, his widow, Margery and her children, and to so many friends and family, Danny was generous, thoughtful, patient and wise, a man of uncommon decency who brought out the best in us. He was deeply cherished and will be sorely missed. Services: Wednesday, February 11, Plaza Jewish Community Chapel, 630 Amsterdam Ave, 11:30 a.m.
