Luis Guillermo Cohen Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Luis "Lucho" Guillermo Cohen, 62, of Hartford passed away peacefully on Saturday, November 25, 2017 at Hartford Hospital ICU. Born in Barranquilla, Colombia, he was the son of the late Rafael and Carola Cohen. Lucho was the youngest of five siblings. After 24 years of battling brain tumor melanomas, we were lucky to have been able to share with him many years of laughter and good times. Lucho leaves behind his wife, Doris (Herrera), his daughter Katherine and grandson, Kayden. He is also survived by his siblings, Hortencia, Mady, Mirian and Jorge, along with many loved nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. We comfort ourselves with the belief he is resting in peace. *To my Tio Lucio. Tio, you lived with us as a young, tough edged/loyal/always affectionate uncle, when you came from Colombia as I was a small child. For the over 10 uncles I have here and overseas, you were the uncle that was always in my life and was always around. Even though we were your "Italiano nephews/niece" as you called us joking around. You were always so affectionate while always stating to be tough and gave the best advice about real life. If people think I have an edge, I get it from my Tio "Uncle" Lucio Luis Cohen. I remember the Chevy Nova/Chevelle you bought and other cars. You always told me to dress to impress even if at home with no one around "siempre te tienes que vestir con la pinta". You always told me never to back down to anything or anyone. You weren't perfect, as no one is on this earth including myself. I appreciated you always because of the childhood memories I had with you. Your older sisters including my mom, adored you for a reason, because of who you were. You were so proud of your name/heritage/family always displaying loyalty. ~ Antonio Mazzei *My uncle was the youngest of the siblings. Over 20 years ago, in his late 30's, he was diagnosed with brain melanomas. Although not cancerous, these tumors grew with ferocity and left behind irreparable damage. We were lucky to have been able to share with him many more years of laughter and good times despite the fact that there were many moments of extreme difficulty and despair. We comfort ourselves with the belief that he is now resting in peace. ~ Patty Mazzei McGrath
