I have lost my best friend and I am heartbroken to hear the news of his passing. Mr. Cohen was a wonderful and compassionate person whom my family and I loved and adored. He always had a story to tell ( some good-some bad )and he always tried to bring sunshine and happiness to everyones life. Words can not describe the person he was.....you just had to know him like we knew him.
May God grant the Cohen family and extended family strength and comfort in this time off need. He will be missed.

Nathan;
It was with great sorrow that I received the news of your passing. You were always such a charming and friendly face when I was at the park;you and "Snowy". Your arrival with a cup of wonderful black coffee for ole "jmac" will never be forgotten. We love you Nathan and our sympathies to your family and loved ones.

Nathan;
What a great friend and great joy it was to call him my friend. We hung out, went places, and did lots of stuff together and sometime even made a profit while having all that fun. Cars and food (grilling) seem to be the center of most things we did together.
Most everything we did was an adventure, we didn't plan it that way, but when you were with Nathan, it almost always turned into an adventure. We had so many memorable times together, like learning to deep fat fry turkey's, spending Christmas together, exchanging gifts and just being part of the family. We, all of the Rhodes Family will miss Nathan very much!
"for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me." Psalm 23:4b

Nathan was one of the good guys and a great person to have as a friend. He was always into cars even before he made a career of selling them. Once he had the use of an uncle's car for a week and his goal was to put 1000 miles on it in those seven days. He met the goal and we had such innocent teen-age fun in the process That was Nathan as I remember him: friendly, fun, and one of the guys.
We drifted apart over the years, speaking briefly when Stanley died. I offer my sincere condolences to his family and I will always remember Nathan with a smile and warmest feelings.

Although I didn't know Nathan well, one thing I will always remember about him is his compassion for animals. When I first met him, he had several beautiful parrots that he was very proud of, and he spent a great deal of time and effort taking good care of them.

Many years ago, Nathan saved a little white dog from a life of loneliness and solitary confinement. Because of Nathan, the dog lived to a ripe old age with the remainder of its years being well loved. I always thought how very lucky this little guy was that Nathan came along and gave it good care and much needed attention. If there is a Rainbow Bridge, I'm sure this little white dog is there - waiting with joy - for Nathan.
