Harvey Cohen, age 73, of Wayne, passed suddenly and unexpectedly on Wednesday, October 5, 2016, while vacationing in Italy.
He was born and spent his early years in the Bronx, New York. When Harvey was about ten years old his family moved to New Hyde Park, Long Island. Harvey graduated from Herricks High School and went on to receive his Bachelor’s Degree in Chemical Engineering from Pratt Institute, followed by a Master’s Degree in Industrial Engineering from NYU.
While a sophomore at Pratt, Harvey was a tour guide for incoming freshman. He arranged it so he would be giving the tour to the group that had the only three freshman girls being admitted that year. During his tour he noticed a girl named Joan. Joan and Harvey fell in love and married six years later on August 6, 1967 at Leonard’s of Great Neck. They honeymooned for two weeks traveling to the Grand Canyon and working their way to Disneyland in California. They enjoyed a caring marriage of forty-nine years and were in the planning stages of a fiftieth anniversary party when Harvey passed.
Harvey worked for the Warner Lambert Corporation in Long Island City, New York and Morris Plains, New Jersey for over 30 years. He formed many lasting friendships and often went to dinner and vacationed with his old co-workers and their spouses. As a matter of fact, Harvey and Joan were with several of these close friends in Italy when he passed.
Harvey, in his retirement, dedicated much of his time to volunteering at Saint Joseph’s Regional Medical Center in Paterson. Just as he did during his working career, he made new friends with the staff as well as with the other volunteers.
Harvey will be dearly missed by his many friends and family members. He was the loving husband of Joan Cohen; much loved brother of Paul Cohen and his wife Marsha, and the late Shelley Goldberg (2009) and her surviving husband Morton; dear nephew of Joseph Gordon; cherished uncle of Karen Bemis and her husband Mark, Alison Zwerling and her husband Craig, Baruch Goldberg and his wife Rivkah, Chana and Meira Goldberg; and loving great-uncle of Kaitlyn Bemis.
Many know that Harvey volunteered many hours at the Saint Josephs Medical Center in Paterson. To honor his memory, and in lieu of flowers, memorial donations to the Saint Josephs Hospital Foundation, 703 Main Street, Paterson, NJ 07503 would be greatly appreciated.
