Obituary

Larry Allen Cohen was born on January 8, 1951 in Janesville, Wisconsin to the late Julius and Ruth Cohen and passed away on January 29, 2018 in Plano, Texas at the age of 67. Larry grew up in Janesville, Wisconsin and graduated from Parker High School in 1969. He worked in the plumbing wholesale business as part owner of CB&K Supply for 50 years. He was an avid golfer, a fan of the Packers and Badgers and most of all enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren.  They lit up his life and truly made him so proud. Larry was a loving husband, father, grandfather and friend.  He was funny, quick witted, had a one-liner for everything and told the best jokes. He was preceded in death by his parents Julius and Ruth Cohen. He is survived by his wife of 45 years, Donna Emrick Cohen; his sons, Nate Cohen (Colleen Dunphy) and Jay Cohen (Darci Phillips); his grandchildren Ashley Boissoneault, Magnolia Gravert, Emma Cohen, Jakob Cohen, Judah Cohen and Emrick Cohen; his siblings, Ralph Cohen (Sandy) and Linda Connors (Brian); and several extended family and lifelong friends. There will be a celebration of life in his honor at 2:00 P.M. on Saturday, February 10, 2018 at Aria Memorial Chapel located at 19310 Preston Road, Dallas, Texas 75252. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you consider making a donation in Larry’s name to the Dallas Zoo where he enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren. Arrangements are under the direction of ARIA Cremation Service and Funeral Home 19310 Preston Road Dallas, Texas 75252 214-306-6700

    We loved you so much Larry and will miss you more than you know. You brought so much joy to our lives and were the best father in law I could have ever wished for. Thank you for raising such a wonderful son who will raise our boys to carry your name proudly. Rest easy Larry. ❤️

    We will miss Larry’s wry humor and all of the crazy nicknames he had for his friends. And Gary will miss his golfing buddy.

    Donna, Nate, Jay and Family,
    So sorry to hear of Larry’s passing. Enjoyed so many rounds of golf, the ski trip to Banff, Canada and his never ending one liners. We had one of the best business and friendship relationships a person could ask for.
    Our prayers go out for all of you.

    Larry “Lou” Cohen was a Great Friend in High School and college, our favorite place to hang out was the bar we built in his parents basement. Lou enjoyed riding the Janesville Circuit in his 1967 Pontiac GTO while listening to his favorite Turtles song, Happy Together! We worked with him at CBK Supply and he will be long remembered for his great jokes, fast wit and as my partner in H.S. physics class completing our labs in his basement bar. Gone too young but, is fondly remembered by his old HS buddies.

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
