I had the great honor of being tested for my single yellow stripe by Master Cohen as the Main School in 2019. At age 41, I was one of the older students of course and his support and kindness is something I will never ever forget. I have a photo my husband took of Master Cohen placing my stripe on my belt and I will treasure it always. He also taught me how to do a proper pushup :-) We will miss him greatly.

Donna and I are devastated at the loss of our dear friend Ron. For the last 20 years we’ve shared birthdays, cruises, tailgates, workouts, parties as well as Steeler and Pitt games. He and Debbie have watched our children grow into adults. We have no words to describe our grief. Much love to Debbie, Gail, Lexy, Jared and all his extended family we’ve been privileged to know.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Ronnie’s passing. I looked forward to his Florida visits and catching up on everything. He was always so strong and positive, having conquered so many health problems. He lovingly spoke of you and of course the dogs. He really was a Mensch. He was always kind and thoughtful, and loved by many of his friends here in Florida. I’m honored to be his friend. This is heartbreaking . My condolences to you and your family. He will truly be missed. May he rest in peace.
