(JTA) — An obituary for a Jewish chiropractor asked those who mourn his death not to vote for Donald Trump in lieu of flowers.

Jeffrey Cohen’s death notice, posted Wednesday on the Legacy.com website by McCabe Bros’ Funeral Homes, said the Pittsburgh man, 70, died unexpectedly on Sunday in the home in the suburb of Squirrel Hill where he was raised.

The notice said that Cohen as a teenager worked at a Montana ranch and he “took pride in being the only Jewish cowboy that he knew of.”

It said that from a slow start, his career led him to become known as a “chiropractor to the stars,” listing as clients Fred Rogers, the famed children’s television host; singer Liza Minnelli; and parody songwriter “Weird Al” Yankovic, as well as boxers, ballet dancers and teammates of the NFL’s Pittsburgh Steelers. He eventually opened a Manhattan practice in addition to his Pittsburgh practice.

“He was also a voracious teller of jokes of all kinds, especially dirty and groan-inducing ones,” it said. “He had a great smile and all his teeth were still his.”

It concluded: “Jeffrey would ask that in lieu of flowers, please do not vote for Donald Trump,” but said that donations to a charity of one’s choice or a chiropractic educational foundation Cohen founded were also acceptable.

Trump, a real estate magnate and reality TV star, is the frontrunner in polls among Republicans vying for the party’s presidential nod.
