A Special Thanks to Edward Cohen

We want to give a heartfelt thank you to Edward Cohen for capturing so many of the memories that shaped our family story. From everyday moments to major milestones—including our parents’ wedding—Edward was there with his camera throughout the 1970s and 1980s, preserving the life and love that surrounded our father.

Many of the photos you’ll see on this site exist because of him. His eye, his presence, and his care gave us a way to hold onto the past and pass it forward.

Thank you, Edward, for helping us see our father’s life—clearly, honestly, and beautifully—through your lens. These memories live on because of you.
