34: Larry & Isabel Cohen of Laurence M Cohen, CPA

A little about our guests. Larry and Isabel have been married since 1959. They have 4 children, Mitchie, Barry (yup, our very own), Scott and Helene. They also have numerous grandchildren (Together 24/7 note – while they are our nieces and nephews, honestly, we lost count). There are no great-grandchildren as yet. Eldest and married grandson, Evan, is constantly reminded of this fact. Larry and Isabel are world travelers who meet someone they know on every trip and make friends wherever they go. Larry is a former Navy Sailor having served on the USS Alstede. Both Larry and Isabel work on the semi-annual Alstede Reunion open to anyone who served on the ship and their spouses. A little about their business. Larry started as an accountant out of Pace University where he achieved Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees and went on to get his CPA While working for the accounting firm that had the Woodstock Aquarian Exposition as one of its clients, he also started to develop his own accounting practice. Over the years he grew his client base, became an accounting professor and brought Isabel on to assist him in the administrative aspect of his practice. They have worked together since 1980 and are still in love and working together. One piece of advice (the nutshell version) Stay single. (Larry) It’s not yours or mine, its ours. Just do it – go for it, but keep a separate space.
