We met Barry and Yvonne recently when they invited us into their home to do some work. Barry is one of the few genuinely nice and friendly people I have ever met. He always answered the phone with a smile in his voice and a truly cared for people. He will be missed. His stories and tales of travel were incredible. We wish Yvonne and the Cohen family our condolences during this time.  Jim Beaumont and Brad Swanson.

An inspiring visionary, a true citizen of the world and a relentless mentor form the very first hour, Barry I cannot express enough of my gratitude for having met you early in life. Over nearly 40 years we kept in close touch thanks to your unique generosity and relentless interest in others. Thanks for all the spirited discussions and the fun too. We will miss you dearly.
Delphine & I want to convey to Yvonne & your family our most sincere and friendliest thoughts.

I'm so sorry about your loss.  You can definitely draw strength from the god of comfort

To The Cohen Family,
 What sadness for everyone who knew or encountered Barry. He radiated warmth, understanding and openess whenever and in whatever setting one found himself/herself with Barry. He will be deeply missed by all of us. And to the family during these very difficult days, we hope you will remember all the wonderful times you had, and the joy he brought to the world. My warmest and heartfelt affection. Fred Frank

Everyone who met Barry liked him. His positive energy was contagious, he loved life and was a role model for many. Barry had a big heart and his generosity had no boundaries. He was able to help improve the lives of many people and will be missed by all. Barry made the world a better place. My sincere condolences to his family and to my friend Chau_Giang who introduced me to Barry and his family. God Bless.

Dear Barry, I miss you so much. Joe and I always had so much fun with you and Yvonne and, after Joe died, you and Yvonne helped keep me going, helped me to survive. You always answered your phone and were always there for me as you were to so many. You will always be with me in spirit and I pray that Yvonne and your wonderful family will find some peace and comfort in the days and months ahead.

God bless the soul of this special man who was always ready and happy to help a friend. I will always cherish his guidance and words of wisdom. My deepest sympathies to the Cohen family who will surely keep his flame alive. May they be comforted among the mourners of Zion.

To the entire Cohen family, I just heard the sad news and wanted to express my deepest sympathy. Barry was always a pleasure to be around and talk to and I know my parents have a special place in their hearts for him and the family. A great man and a giant loss

For 18 blessed years, one can never thank you enough for everything you have ever done Barry, who one is going to tell stories, ask for advice and to laugh with?  Who will give wonderful speaks at our events that make all friends to fall in love with you every time.  We will never accept the fact that you are gone because you are not, we can feel you.... (Will keep the "bamboo house" photo that you & Yvonne loved forever) ~ Your dear, Chau-Giang Thi Nguyen

Barry was a friend, a role model and a remarkable man in every respect. He was a unique force of nature who will be long remembered for his vision, his business acumen and--most especially, as a loving family man. We will miss him. Our love to Yvonne and his family. Carole and Al Angel

While I haven't seen him in years, I still have fond memories of spending hours at the cohens house as a child. Mr Cohen was always a warm, caring and gentle man. My deepest sympathies to the family.

Our sincere condolences to the Cohen Family.
With much appreciation for his dedication to the Rabin Medical Center and for his concern for the Charles E. Trobman Cancer Data Center and to Israel.
Phyllis and Malclm Trobman
