Sad News

My cousin (and "uncle") Jordan Cohn passed away today from complications of lung cancer. At this point, I'm a bit numb and haven't much to say.

The funeral will be tomorrow (Thursday 12/15) at Parkside Memorial Chapel in Forest Hills, Queens, 98-60 Queens Boulevard, at 1:30 pm, followed by burial at Beth David Cemetery in Elmont (just outside the city near Belmont Ractrack).

As Jordan had no immediate surviving relatives, there will be no shiva, but we are hoping to have a memorial service of some sort once it is a month afer his passing.

Your uncle Jordan was a very nice man the handful of times I met him.

Zichrono l'bracha.

Jordan was a very nice man, and I'm sorry he left you so quickly. I'd have come to the funeral if I hadn't been in Horsham, PA.

Love,
LMG
