Robert ("Ali") Cohn passed away due to cancer at the age of 41 (1993). He was an attorney living in California. He was married and had children. Bob Katzen will have the exact details.
Aly and I caught up when I lived in San Francisco in 1988 and continued our friendship from the old Churchill days - he was like a big brother to me (and a member of our family) when he dated my sister Janet in high school.
He had worked in the DA's office during the Harvey Milk days in SF and when I caught up with him was in a partnership practice in Larkspur Landing about half an hour north of San Francisco. He had the same laugh and bright smile, and same cheery outlook, even while he was fighting cancer. A stem cell transplant sometime around 1992 or '93 was pretty hard on him and he was on a daily doses of interferon for months after, but the cancer was tougher and he passed away sometime in the late fall of 1995 or early 1996. He had remarried a great gal in the late '80's who he had been seeing for some time and she was by his side when he passed away. We all were hopeful that the stem cell transplant would be a success. Aly was a wonderful, giving, happy guy, in spite of many difficult life circumstances and we lost him way too early. Mark - one correction - he had no kids that I ever heard of.
