Albert D. Cohen
Albert Diamond Cohen, LLD (January 20, 1914 – November 21, 2011) was a Canadian entrepreneur, community builder, philanthropist, and Officer of the Order of Canada. He was Chairman, Co-President and Co-Chief Executive Officer of Gendis Inc. www.gendis.ca, a Toronto Stock Exchange listed Canadian real estate and investment company headquartered in Winnipeg, Manitoba. At one time, Gendis held a 51% stake in Sony of Canada and owned the SAAN Stores retail chain. He was married to Irena Cohen (née Kankova) from 1953 until his death, and they had three children: Anthony, James, and Anna-Lisa. He was the author of several books: ''The Entrepreneurs: The Story of Gendis Inc''...''The Triangle of Success: The Gendis/Saan Story''...''The Story of SAAN''...and...''I.D.E.A.'' His latest and last book, published in the fall of 2010, was titled ''Reminiscences of an Entrepreneur - How Sony came to Canada and then to the World in 1955''. His interest and talent for writing stemmed out from his close personal friendship with the late British author Ian Fleming. He died peacefully at the age of 97 years, 10 months, in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
== Background ==
Cohen came from a poor immigrant family of eight, born in Winnipeg, Manitoba as the son of Alexander and Rose (Diamond) Cohen, and he served with the Royal Canadian Navy from 1942 to 1945.
Albert's five brothers, John C. (Chauncey), Harry B. Cohen, Morley Cohen, Samuel N. Cohen, and Joseph H. Cohen set up a small retail store and, by 1939, the family had scraped together enough monies to create General Distributors Ltd., a wholesale import firm.
