Eugene R. ("Huey") Cohen, beloved husband of Dorene Binstock Cohen, passed away peacefully on September 17th. Huey was born in Pittsburgh on August 31, 1929 to John C. and Cecelia Feldman Cohen. He attended many schools throughout the East End of Pittsburgh and graduated from Riverview Academy in Georgia.

Huey proudly served in the 101st Airborne Division of the U.S. Army in the accounting department, in Trieste, Italy. It was during his service that he became a pilot, sparking a lifelong love of flying planes. In his later years he reveled in the kindness of strangers when they acknowledged the 101st Airborne baseball cap he was rarely seen without.

After years of being a jack-of-many-trades (working in the steel mills and JA. Williams Department Store, to name a few), Huey and Dorene became the owners of a successful furniture store called "Furniture World" in North Versailles. Located across the street from the wildly popular East Land shopping center, Furniture World became a household name.

Huey was cherished by his three children - Jeffrey Cohen, Cathy (Steve) Frank and Brian (Lori) Cohen. He was the adored Papa of Jason (Miriam) Frank, Hannah Frank, Rebecca (Jonathan) Holder, Jessica (Benjamin) Simon, Amanda (Matthew) Hymansmith, Zephyr (Bruce-Robert) Salz, Katherine (Gil) Salz and Aaron Salz. He is the great grandfather of Mari and Hazel Hymansmith.

A lifetime lover of learning, Huey will be remembered for his gentle heart and adventurous spirit. He was quick with a smile, witty comment or joke. His family lovingly referred to him as "the bear", partner to the "the bird", his wife Dorene of over 69 years.

Gibsonia on Thursday, September 21st at 3:00pm followed by a 5:30pm visitation and 7:00pm Shiva services at Juniper Village, 107 Fall Run Rd. in Forest Hills.
