It is with deep love and sadness that we announce the passing of Paul Cohen, 84, of Southborough, Massachusetts. Paul died peacefully, leaving behind a legacy of warmth, generosity, and laughter.
Born in Boston to the late Pearl and Sam Cohen, Paul grew up in Newton and proudly served his country as a U.S. Marine before channeling his entrepreneurial spirit into a successful career in business. He was the visionary behind Fun and Games Arcade in Framingham and Golf on the Village Green in Natick. He also pursued a fulfilling career in commercial real estate.
Paul was a devoted father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend. He is predeceased by his son, Jesse Cohen. He leaves behind his daughters: Emily Becker (Ira), Alison Chappell (Chris), and Jordana Linder (Justin); his grandchildren: Jonathan Becker, Madelyn Becker, William Chappell, Benjamin Chappell, Shayna Cohen, Nola Linder, and Nate Linder; his sister, Elaine Cohen, and nephew, Max Cross.
Paul had a great love for jazz music, boating, and the companionship of his dogs. He cherished time with his grandchildren, who brought him endless joy. Known for his remarkable sense of humor and generous heart, Paul brought laughter to those around him and left a lasting impression on all who knew him.
