My time with the Cohen family was long ago when the boys where in elementary school together and yet it seemed like yesterday. I am so saddened by the passing of Rusty and all of you are in my heart forever. God bless you each and every day.

Rusty was not just my cousin, he was more like a big brother to me. Growing up I spent weekends at the Cohen house and summers in their pool. I have many memories of his laugh and sense of humor, especially when we were having “sock fights”. He’d get all the socks out of his drawer and roll them up like snowballs. His sister Gigi and I were a team against Rusty, pelting each other till one of us ran out of socks. It was one of the best memories I had since I did not have a brother of my own. I also remember him “shopping” in my Aunt’s pantry before he’d go back to college from his breaks. His joy was complete when he married Rhonda and had the triplets, Jeff, Gary and Lee. He was an amazing husband, father, brother, grandpa and cousin… and he will forever be loved and missed. Rest in peace dear cousin, until we meet again.

Our long lasting friendship through over 45 years included so many trips and so many great times. Rusty’s generosity and humble nature was matched only by his wit and humor that he shared with everyone freely. We will always love him and miss him and never forget him. He will sorely be missed by our extended family of friends that he was an integral part of. No doubt anyone who was blessed enough to know him will feel the same. That’s just how special he was to all of us. RIP our dear friend: we will miss you.

Through the years my grandfather, Robert A. Wolfe and my Uncle Ralph have always held highest of regard to the Cohen Family. It saddens me to learn of your loss.
