“I asked four people if I could marry Pamela. One was her father, two were my daughters and the other was Perry,” Korniloff said. “Perry was the boy I always dreamed of having. I was really fortunate to have him in my life.”
Cohen said he was also passionate about hiking and nature.
“He was passionate about animals and he loved marine science,” she said.. “That’s really where his heart was and that’s one of the missions of the foundation, to continue to support children that are looking to continue on education in the marine science and environmental studies and oceanography.
“He really was the nicest person I’ve ever known in my entire life,” Cohen added. “The one thing out of all of this that I can only ever say that I’m happy about is that I knew that he knew that he was loved. And I that I know that he loved me. I don’t think that every parent really ever knows that. We had an amazing spiritual connection from the time he was born – and I know that he wanted to come home that day.”
