"I regret waiting this long to reach out, and would have loved to reminisce with Hesh about our motorcycle trip to Big Bend in ~'74 on our Triumphs. Hesh took me in as a roommate in his duplex on Westgate St. He was working at Shell and subsequently moved up north, after which I visited him. I was unaware he had returned to Houston. I've lost [or can't] find many photos from those days, but recently found this one of our trip. I can be reached at jmwted@comcast.net. Rest in peace, old friend."
In loving memory of
Harold "Hesh" Cohan
March 20, 1947 - August 29, 2021
Harold "Hesh" Cohan, 74, passed away peacefully on August 29th in Houston, TX surrounded by his loved ones. Hesh was born on March 20, 1947 in Long Island, New York to the late Jack and Bess Cohan.
Hesh was preceded in death by his parents and former wife, Debbie Hayduk. He is survived by his two children, Justine and Allie, her husband Neal, granddaughter Audrey, and his brother Steve.
Hesh was a loving father, husband, grandfather, and friend to everyone. Hesh was happiest when he was surrounded by loved ones and animals. He loved growing up in New York and visited as much as he could. While growing up Hesh spent much of his time skiing and surfing. He enjoyed watching the Houston Texans and Houston Astros, listening to the Rolling Stones, and reminiscing on his days of riding his Harley Davidson.
A celebration of life will be held on Sunday, November 7, 2021 at 2:00pm at Bisong Art Gallery, 1305 Sterrett St., Houston, TX 77002. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals "ASPCA".
