How horrible. Condolences to the rest of the family.
On behalf of music lovers, thank you for the great work Albert.
So sorry to hear such sad news. Dr. Cohen was my theory professor at the University of Michigan and what a great teacher he was and such a dear and generous man! I always treasured his wisdom and friendship. Sincere condolences to his devoted wife Betty on the loss of her beloved husband and beautiful daughter. Keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
