LAURENCE MICHAEL COHEN - A TORONTO LAWYER WHO HELPED MANY ZANZIBARIS PASSES AWAY!

The late Cohen

COHEN, LAURENCE MICHAEL It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Laurence Michael Cohen, on March 2, 2022, at the age of 58. 
Laurence passed away peacefully, at Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto, after a brave fight with cancer. 
He is survived by his loving and devoted wife, Tina Cohen, his four children, Kenneth, Sara, Elias and Sebastian. 
Beloved son of Hilary Kettner, and predeceased by his father, Kenneth Cohen. 
Loving brother of Nadine Marks (Larry), Akiva Cohen (Susan), and Jillian Kohler (Stefan). 
Dear uncle of Yishai Cohen, Elad Cohen, Kerri Marks, Shannon Marks, Enid Kohler, Holly Kohler, Christopher Bedford, Angelique Bedford, Julia Bedford, Michael Dessauer and Christina Dessauer. 
Born in South Africa, Larry came to Canada with his family in 1964. 
Larry was always passionate about hockey, whether it was cheering on his children at the rink, driving to away games, or cheering on the Leafs. 
We have many memories with him at hockey games, and will cherish those moments forever. 
He was a well-respected criminal lawyer and loved what he did. 
He was the most supportive and loving husband of Tina and father to his four children. 
His sense of humour, storytelling and charisma always lit up the room. 
Anyone who knew him would describe him as the most selfless and caring person who made everyone feel welcome and loved. Larry's bravery to always put his family ahead of himself embodies the man he was, even during these tragic last few months. 
He will be deeply missed by the many members of his family and friends and all the lives he touched and made better by being in them. 
A funeral service will be held on Monday, March 7, 2022, at 12:00 p.m. at Benjamin's Park Memorial Chapel. 
In Larry's memory, memorial donations may be made to the Laurence Michael Cohen Memorial Fund, c/o the Benjamin Foundation, 416-780-0324 or www.benjamins.ca.
