Robert Martin Cohen passed peacefully on Saturday, December fourth. The son of Irving and Eleanor Cohen, he was born on September 29, 1929. Bob was raised in the Bronx. He received his Bachelors of Science degree from Long Island University and then earned his Masters in Mathematics & Meteorology from Florida State. He served his country as a Captain Meteorologist in the United States Air Force. After his service he moved to Southern California, where he owned and ran a company manufacturing steel office furniture for many years. He moved to Sausalito and finally settled in Benicia for the past 15 years. Bob loved sailing and spent many years, and made numerous trips, on his sailboat. He sailed as far as New Zealand. His love of sailing and boating started when his parents purchased a summer home on Lake Hopatcong, NJ, when he was 14 years old. He and Phyllis ( who’s family also had a home at Lake Hopatcong) shared their love of the water. Bob and his wife Phyllis enjoyed years cruising to the Mexican Riviera, Hawaiian Islands, Alaska, through the Panama Canal (which was his favorite), the Caribbean and New England to Nova Scotia (his second favorite). He was a wonderful son, brother, father, grandfather and husband. Bob is survived by his loving wife Phyllis Moretti, daughter Jill Cohen, son Marc Cohen, sister Judith Bass, niece Diane Bass, stepsons Vinny and Stephen Moretti and stepdaughter Tina Moretti. He is also survived by his four grandchildren: Rachel & Clay Heberly, Hannah & Sadie Cohen and by his great grandchildren Sequoia Eckhardt & Brynn Heberly. He cherished and will be remembered by his many lifelong friends. Per Bob’s request there will be no funeral services. The family asks that in lieu of flowers donations be made to the Humane Society of the North Bay, 1121 Sonoma Blvd., Vallejo CA. www.hsnb.org.
