ROBERT “BOB” 
COHEN, 87, of 
Mayfield Heights, 
Ohio, died Jan. 29, 
2021.
He was an 
amazing person, kind, loving 
and generous. He and Shirley 
were married for 63 years and 
were consummate snowbirds, 
flying down to the warmer 
climes of Florida for the winter. 
Bob loved stained-glass art 
and created beautiful stained-
glass pieces, which are hanging 
throughout both homes. He 
owned and ran Empire Glass 
Company, working alongside 
his son, Dale. Bob was heavily 
involved in the glass industry 
and served as president of the 
Ohio Glass Association. Always 
up for an adventure, he includ-
ed his family on many trips to 
the National Glass Association’s 
annual conventions throughout 
the country. 
 Bob was always involved 
in his children’s lives, from 
working with his sons’ Boy 
Scout troops to helping with 
his daughter’s Bluebirds group. 
He enjoyed fishing and boating 
and caught lots of fish with 
his kids and extended family 
members Roger and Chucky. 
He loved spending time with 
his nine grandchildren and 
keeping up on their comings 
and goings. 
His sense of humor was 
passed down to his children 
and grandchildren, who always 
have a joke or off-the-cuff 
remark on the tips of their 
tongues; it meant so much to 
him. Bob was so happy to meet 
his new great-grandson, Asher 
Bennett Epstein, through a 
video. He will be greatly missed 
but will always be remembered 
with love and laughter.
