Default Just gotta a very early phone call with some very unfortunate news....

My Grandfather, Edwin Cohn, had just passed away at the age of 73 this morning about an hour ago. He was a wonderful man and he'll always be remembered.

At the age of 7 he took me to a Dodgers luncheon meeting of retired Dodger greats and introduced me to a long time friend of his, Don Newcombe. I still have the baseball and 8x10 he signed for me all those 20+ years ago. It was one of many sports memories I had with my grandfather.

I love you Grandpa! You will be missed!

Brad sorry to hear of your loss....Though it was great that you were close to him and have fond memories which will live on in you. Take care may he fly with the angels or in his case all the dodger greats up there with him. Think what he must be chatting about now! If you need anything give me a call my number is in my info.
Prayers go out to you and yours for the loss

Brad,
so sorry to hear about your grandfather.

I never got to meet mine so at least you can hold on to the good memories you have of him.

You and your family will be in my prayers.
