[ RadSafe ] Bernard (Bernie) L. Cohen

[Andycgeo at aol.com]

I met with Brernie several times during the time I was trying to develop  
the charcoal method for collecting and measuring environmental radon. We  
also met at international radon workshops and meetings. He was a kind and 
simple  person always willing to help out. His boyhood hero was John Lewis the 
president  of the United Mine Workers of America. He will be sorely missed by 
the  scientific community.

Dear  Jeff:  

Thank you for letting us know. I am very sad to read the  news.  Bernie 
Cohen was a great man with a lasting impact, a critical  mind and kind and 
open.  We have lost a dear friend. 

Sincerely,  Ludwig Feinendegen.
