Yosef Cohen Obituary

Cohen, Yosef Yosef "Joseph" Cohen, son of Albert and the late Shirley, just 58, died of a heart attack in his adopted homeland of Israel on Feb.9. In the 1970's and 80'S, Yosef was an accomplished singer and songwriter of music that crossed the border between folk and rock. His vocals were called "haunting" by Billboard magazine. Yosef compiled three record albums that were well received. He also wrote many articles that were published in the U.S. and Israel. Yosef always had a spiritual side that required tending. In 1997, he immigrated to Israel, where he remarried. In Israel, Yosef founded and built a financial research website called stockmaven.com, that many institutions come to for research. Cohen separately compiled ex-haustive research on the role that large corporations played in the Holocaust. Yosef is survived by his wife Esther; his son Sammy (Dana); his daughter Anne; and his grandchildren Ariel and Justin; his sister Devi Leiner (Ronald); his neices Jesica and Alexis Berger, and his father Albert.

Joe Cohen was my childhood friend who proposed to me. He was talented musically and had a gift of gab. His wide beautiful smile filled my heart and his laughter filled the room. He was wonderful. He always made me laugh... the funniest guy I ever knew. I loved being with him. He knew how to play every instrument. I wish I could watch him play the guitar and sing. He could (and did !) make a violin from scratch and turn it into a fine instrument ! He was independant and proud. He was loyal and passionate about important issues and always defended being a Jew and defended Israel proudly. He was one of my favorite people in the world and I sadly miss him. I still listen to his brilliant music, which could STILL hit the charts, if marketed. He will always make me cry and make my heart smile. I will always love my Joey even now.
