Robert Saul Cohen (Bob), 83, passed away suddenly on February 11, 2022. He was predeceased by his parents Peter and Sadie Cohen, and his grandson Christopher Crampton. He is survived by his wife of 15 years, Mary Ellen Cohen; children, Linda Crampton, Laura (Jamie) Bigelow, David (Angela) Cohen, Matt (Jessie) Hrehor; his beloved grandchildren; Matthew, Mia, Devon, Leah, Treyvor, Cara, David, Marshall, Lane, Sadie, Liem, Stella; great grandchildren Emma, Jesse; sister Sandy Getman; many “favorite” nephews and special friends Jackie, Guss and Janet as well as Kelly whom he watched over and took care of for 20 years. Bob lived a life of service and love, an example of all that’s beautiful in this life. He was kind, wise and walked what he talked. At 19 he volunteered with youth at the psych center in Boston and continued with many service organizations – Jaycees, Special Olympics, Chow, Project Paws, Bingo for the Blind, Mercy House, Vestal Challenger League Baseball, and Binghamton General Hospital (In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation in his name to St. Jude or Mom’s House). Bob loved his dog Ernie, scratch offs (which was always the highlight of Christmas for his grandkids), playing hearts selflessly according to his nephew Gary and most of all his Boston Red Sox which he proudly shared his love of with his daughter and grandson! He never went anywhere without a hat, jacket, or shirt with the Red Sox on it! Bob championed the human spirit in a quiet determined voice and by action knowing no matter how big or small we can make this world a better place now and for his grands and great grands. Bob will be remembered for living his life with grace, kindness, dignity, love and humor and saw this world thru the lens of the moment. As his granddaughter stated, BE A BOB!
