Saul was a man from another era. He was a true Renaissance Man, equally gifted in many fields beyond the practice of law, in which he was, of course,  a wise and insightful mentor, who could cut to the heart of a matter before everyone else in the room had heard all of the facts. He will be missed.

I had the good luck of meeting Saul at a short story writing class where he wrote rich and imaginative prose. He was valued for his ability to spot a vital missing detail in someone else's story which I attribute to the keen listening skills he developed from his background in law. He was a raconteur and a true gentleman who spoke lovingly of his family. My deepest condolences to his loved ones. He will be missed on many levels.

Saul was an old and dear friend and an important figure in my legal career.  My husband and I extend our sympathy to the family,  Judy and John Belash

Saul was a mentor and an inspiration. My deepest sympathies to the family. Kathy Rocklen

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Marian, Lilly and the Cohen family, Saul was certainly one of the brightest and most insightful people I've ever known. He was a worldly man, and I saw that first hand in the excellent short stories he wrote as he pursued one of his hobbies in retirement. I loved getting his stories emailed to me, reading them, and then speaking to him at length about them. Some of these stories were of New Yorker quality, and Saul, had he not become a brilliant lawyer, certainly could have been a brilliant writer. I will miss the lunches with Saul, and the scotches, and the great discussions about history, philosophy, politics, literature and life. RIP, Saul.

To his family and friends. My deepest condolence to you. May our heavenly father give you comfort and peace mathew 5:4

Saul Cohen meant so much to so many. He was equal parts visionary, leader & pioneer. His guidance was valued, his intellect was treasured and his spirit was priceless. While we were privileged to have him as a mentor we were honored to call him a friend. 
With our condolence to Marian & Lily,

My sympathy to all. Saul was a friend and a great lawyer, with a truly generous spirit.

My deepest sympathy to Seth, Jesse, Marian, Lily and the Cohen family. Saul was my "rabbi", mentor and friend, teaching me the securities business and giving me a profession, for which I will always be grateful. He was not only wise, but kind. He will be deeply missed.

Saul was one of the good guys. Always thoughtful and clear headed.

Saul was my mentor at both Rosenman & at Proskauer.  I owe so much of my success to him.  He was a one of a kind.  A true legend.  Brilliant & charismatic.  I will miss him.

My sympathies to Saul's family.He was my boss and mentor  for many years. I learned much from him and greatly admired his wisdom and courage.

 Sincerest condolences Marian, Seth, Jesse and Lilly, I'll fondly remember his ready bon mot's and enyclopedic knowledge of securities law, but mostly the fun I had simply hanging out with him.Art Rosenbloom

Having worked with Saul when, while he was at Rosenman and I at SEC, he was the receiver of a failed government bond firm, I can recall how enthusiastic and relentless he was in seeking to obtain funds from those who looted the firm, so investors could be compensated.  True, he got a fee, but he earned it well.  My condolences to his family.

My deepest gratitude for having Saul and Marian in my life. Saul was a hero to so many with his sage advice and generosity. He will be deeply missed. Condolences to Marian, Lily and the entire Cohen family.
