Innis, David, Larry, Julie —

As David’s long-time friend and an admirer of the Cohen family, what a privilege it was to enjoy yesterday’s service via the livestream! Thank you so much for making that available to those of us who wanted to be there, but could not. The service was beautiful, striking, memorable, and wholly befitting a wonderful person, family man, military hero, and servant to others. A remarkable life was celebrated, and I for one was very moved by the heartfelt words of Larry, David, David’s niece, and others who spoke. I laughed and cried. And I learned much more about Dr. Sidney than I knew before. A remarkable and impactful life.

On behalf of my family — Dana, Sam, and Zach — please know that all of you are on our minds and in our hearts.

God bless,
Steve Butler

Dear Sidney,

We love and miss you very much . It has been more than 40 years since you reached out to us as neighbors in South Barrington. As strangers to the Midwest you welcomed us to your homes and your hearts. Our families gathered for holidays, weddings, bar and batmitzvah.s. When Tom needed a friend to play golf, explore Alaska , play Poker or Rosemarie needed health care or advice, you were there. We enjoyed talking politics over the kitchen table or sitting while gazing over the beautiful lake. Those memories will be cherished .

Sidney, you are a true Patriot. Defender of our wonderful country. You never, ever had a cross word about a person even if you didn’t agree with their opinion. Your wonderful family will carry on a legacy of goodness, loyalty and generosity. You have established a model for all of us.

What Tom will miss the most is our conversations together. Face to face, knee to knee. The topics varied but made little difference. We were too buddies hanging out and sharing more than words. It was the deepest form of brotherly love. Rest peacefully until we meet again. Tom and Rosemarie Mitchell.
