A LASTING LIFE IMPRESSION
I remember many great moments and trips to Europe with father Cox. His love and dedication to us as boys and teenagers was unsurpassed. Weekends at the Hochsteg in Bois des Filion, dinners with parents, broom ball games outside, time in the small chapel, classical music coming out of those big speakers in the dining room (tchaikovsky 1812 overture) ... good memories. Winter trips to Copenhagen, Zurich, Bassano del grapa, Feltre. Summer trips in England, France, Italy, Austria & Switzerland. March break in Portugal. During All those times, his dedication to us showing us the importance and nuances of life and God - nothing will and has ever matched this. For your relentless way of bringing us back to the basics of life, your no nonsense methods of showing us whats real, your phrases like .. verbal diarrhea signifying nothing.. I am and will always be forever grateful for having had the opportunity to cross roads with Father Cox. Merci Père Cox. LCHS 1980-1984 François Massé

He was like a mentor and protector , not only when in my teens but years after when I was working as an RN in Calgary raising a young child on my own. I don't remember his exact words but he liberated my conscience from nasty rumours that circled back to me as years passedRIP Father Allan Cox

I was an altar boy for Father Cox and I remember being so nervous so Father would flick my finders while I was holding the Bible open while he was reading the gospel. He had such a great sense of humor and zest for life. The day my family borke up and all went into foster homes I was hiding in a storage barrel in the laundry room cause all the social workers and police scared me. Father Cox found me and lifted the lid of the barrel and said to me "Danny do you trust me" and I said yes! He told me although I don't understand and feel scared that one day I would thank him for this. He put me in his car and drove me along with 3 of my brothers to my Uncle's place and let me play with the emergency lights and siren. I tried to contact Father back in 2002 but only got his voicemail and I left him a message.
I think of you ofter Father Cox and thank you from the bottom of my heart.

From the moment he arrived at St Brendan's parish in Rosemont, Montreal Quebec, in the mid 60's and for the short while he was there, helped so many families and teens. Forever loved and appreciated for all your dedication.

An influential and much admired mentor. Many great memories of high school as a result of Fr Cox's encouragement and support. His office was a much appreciated haven for many troubled teenagers. An inspiration in my work with teenagers.

I came to know father cox when i was working during my vacations as a student in Hochsteg, Mayrhofen, Austria, and having been greatly impressed my him he invited me to his Hochsteg in Bois des Filion where I lived for some months in the late 1970ies. Having found his letters to me today I planned to visit him in Canada because I wanted to talk with him, and searching for him in the internet I found him to have died. Mybe the seed he planted in me many years ago is starting to grow only now. RIP Father Cox!

I only attended LCHS for 3 years but it only took Father Cox 3 minutes to make a lasting impression on me- the first morning service for the new 7th graders (in the small LCHS chapel) he had me up front during his "sermon", holding my arms outstretched, gently suggesting that we should pattern our lives like He who was on the cross. Father Cox was a true person. His legacy continues in those he touched, and there are many. God bless him.

Alan was a huge influence during my formative years,a much needed second father to compliment the first! He gave me a life compass and eyes to be a man, husband ,father and grandfather. I have never been truly lost and at times perhaps a light to others all because of him. He is never far away in my thoughts and always in my heart now and forever. See you on the other side Alan ,inshallah ! Pierre

Between the Shkuda's, Marcotte's and Peacock's, there are the Gurekas' who cherished your intervention to our poverty and sought to heal our many wounds, mostly internal. I will never forget the immediate impact you had on our lives and the gift of your dedication to your beliefs. Thank you Father Cox, for everything, from the Gurekas Family.

-Un grand vide ! Pére Cox a été rappelé.
-Nous ne lui dirons jamais assez merci pour tout ce qu'il nous a apporté, à nous, à nos enfants et à leurs camarades, en le recevant avec son groupe de jeunes dans notre maison dés 1973 et pendant de longues années.
-Merci pour son exemple d'avoir mené ses jeunes et les nôtres en les aidant à devenir adultes : il fut ferme, juste, plein d'espérance et nous imprégna de l'exemple de sa foi.
-Grâce à lui, merci aux dizaines de jeunes que nous avons accueillis et qui nous ont laissé chacun de la joie,en particulier à Saro ces derniers jours.
-Il nous téléphonait encore deux fois par semaine en donnant toujours ses conseils avisés.
-Nous recevrons toujours avec plaisir des nouvelles par notre boîte mail (ranson.gjm @free.fr) et aussi des visites.
-Pére Cox, beaucoup se souviennent de vous à Arras. Continuez à veiller sur nous.

I miss Someone Great so much.......I can remember the respect he was inspiring, his roaring laughters, his rude language sometimes!......and above all,his strength and goodness. I knew him as a young teenager thanks to my parents who used to welcome him and his boys during so many summers in France. Though I hadn't seen him for so long a time, he kept calling me regularly,and helped me a great deal whenever I was going through pains and troubles. His words were always comforting,he never judged nor poked fun at your experiences. His main preoccupation was to know we were all safe and confident in our Lord. I'm so sad for not being able to fly once to him and stay in his Hochsteg to spend precious moments with him....... God bless you all and mostly all the boys I used to know and share with. You will be welcome on my mail box- [email protected]. May he stay with us and rest in Peace, he is in my child's,mother's and woman's heart forever.

I remember Father when he first arrived at LCHS. Shocked would be a good descriptor for what we felt. This man was a priest? Yet he quickly showed us that integrity and kindness were two of the most important things that we had to include in our makeup if we were to be good people.
He came into our lives at such an important period in my life; taught me to grow up straight and tall and at all times to think of others.
Here we are 43 years later, spread out all over the world and we are able to look back with love for this man and for the gifts he gave us.
Thank you Father.

Father Cox was a huge influence in my life when I was a teenager. He really helped me turn my life around and see my purpose on thsi planet. My mom called to tell me of his passing and it is with a heavy heart I write these words.
Thank you Father for all you have done for us teenagers at Laval Catholic High.
You will always be in thoughts and prayers

So many memories. Trips to Europe, retreats, Paladin (insiders will know) learning and understanding people and cultures. Fr. Cox was an inspiration to all of us. Nobody could keep up with him. Constantly on the move, and keeping us challanged in every new adventure. He could always be able to tell if you were hiding something. Strait to the point, and fearless of any reprecussions. A true man of God, and an example to us all

You truly made a difference in my life Father, Traveled countless places with you and many, from PEI to Austria weekend retreats ect, you had a way of finding troubled young kids and gave them a chance to see what the world had to offer, My coaching over the years had a lot of your influence in the way I handled my own troubled kids, and gave them a chance to be winners as you did for me, you will always be remembered by all of us that had the honor to know and be with you, hope to see you again one day.
God Bless you Father

My father just called me from Montreal informing me of the sad news of Father Cox's passing. As I read the messages on the guest book I recognize so many dear friends who are part of the fabric of our lives. In life as in death, Father Cox has brought us together once again. In one of my early trips to Europe in the summer of 1974, I was given the responsibility of cooking all the meals for our group. This responsibility ended up planting an important seed, which lead to my entrance, a few years later, into the world of the culinary arts. Father cox instilled into me, and so many others, an important sense of "paying attention to details", while also teaching us to be compassionate to others. During all these formative years of our youth we met so many wonderful people, The Hotter family in Mayrhofen, Austria, Les Ransons in Arras, France, The Curran family in Rathcool, Ireland and so many others. Our weekly visits to the Foyer De Charite in east end Montreal were particulary inspiring. Through our frequent travels, Father Cox taught us to be, respectful of other cultures. Since then, I have had the blessing of working with and meeting countless good people along the way. My travels have taken me to China, where I met my Chinese wife and raised 3 wonderful children, and spent the better part of the last 20 years. Father Cox never shoved faith down our throats but always lead by example. The world was a better place with Father Cox's presence. To those of us whom Father Cox has touched and inspired, let us continue to carry on living our lives the best we can. Rest in peace Father Cox.

Father Cox, thank you for making me the man I am today, it seems it was just yesterday I was leaving for my first summer retreat to Europe, then nine trips later, countless weekend retreats I was on my own living my life always helping others, following your example. Pay attention to detail, do what is right are just a few lessons he taught me, knowing how lucky I was even though I thought I had it tough was probably the most important. I am not sure what has kept me away from visiting you after all these years, I guess I will wait until we meet in heaven, I know there will always be place at your table.

I remember Fr. Cox as a young curate at St. John Brebeuf in LaSalle. He used our basement to store CANED GOODS FOR THE ST. VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY AND MY FATHER WOULD HELP HIM DELIVER THE GROCERIES TO THE POOR IN THE PARISH. FATHER COX ALSO HELPED ONE OF MY UNCLES FIND EMPLOYMENT. ONCE I WENT WITH FATHER AND SOME ALTAR BOYS FROM ST.JOHN TO VISIT SEMINARIANS AT BELLARMINE COLLEGE IN PLATSBURGH N.Y. IT WAS IN DECEMBER 1963 AND PRESIDENT KENNEDY WAS KILLED JUST A FEW WEEKS EARLIER. AT SUPPER FATHER SAID GRACE AND PRAYERS FOR THE KENNEDY FAMILY. WE ALL RECEIVED A PRAYER CARD WITH PRESIDENT KENNEDY'S PICTURE ON IT WHICH I STILL HAVE TIL THIS DAY. AFTER THE MEAL WE GATHERED AROUND A PIANO AND SANG CHRISTMAS CAROLS. I REMEMBER OF COURSE THAT TERRIBLE WEEK IN 1965 FOLLOWING THE EXPLOSION IN THE LASALLE HEIGHTS APARTMENT COMPLEX.I ESPECIALLY REMEMBER A PICTURE IN A MONTREAL NEWSPAPER OF FATHER COX STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF A CRATER FULL OF DEBRIS.THE CAPTION READ "PRIEST WAS EVERYWHERE" AND WENT ON TO TELL ABOUT FATHER COX AND HIS TIRELESS EFFORTS TO HELP THE FIREMEN AND POLICE. I LOST TOUCH WITH FATHER AFTER I MARRIED AND MOVED TO CHICAGO IN 1972 BUT I NEVER FORGOT ABOUT HIM AND THE MANY GOOD DEEDS HE DID FOR THE PEOPLE IN LASALLE.HE IS REMEMBERED BY THE WRIGHT FAMILY IN KIRKLAND QUEBEC. THANK YOU ALAN COX. YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION TO US ALL.

Some 45 years later and I still remember the first days with Father at Chomedey Catholic High School. A priest like none of us had ever seen. He exposed us to a side of life we never would have know without him. He put us in contact with people we still cherish today. The impressions and lessons he shared with me are as strong as when I first learned them. I was fortunate to spend some time with him lately and wish him God speed on his last day. He has a large part of my heart and always will. He doesn't know the meaning of Rest In Peace - he will find lots to do where he is now. I hope he has time to keep an eye on all of us who miss his presence so much.

I am saddened to learn of the passing of Father Cox but I have years of fond memories of the time we spent together while he was in Lasalle & later in Laval. the retreats we participated in,the trips to Europe,volunteering in the community to `give back are engraved in my mind & heart. they have kept me going in good times & difficult times. I also remember Tuesday night mass at Loyola with the guys from Lasalle after he was transferred to laval. father taught me many things but the one I remember most was to be real like the velveteen rabbit.Jesus is real & so are we .Therefore we can have a relationship if we just peel away the layers.
Rest in peace my friend.We will see you again one day

You have influenced my life greatly till this day. You have successfully transferred your love of God to me, and many others no doubt. I enjoyed our trips to Europe very much also and was awestruck to see what a beautiful world we live on. I will miss you but, knowing you, you'll be busier than ever.
Bon voyage friend. The good energy you have spread will no doubt be recognized in your new home. Rain some smiles on us.

I was a lucky boy because I had two Fathers. My Dad, who was a good man in every way and lived a life of quiet example, gave along with my wonderful mother, myself and my sisters Elaine, Lorie and Cathy, the foundation and love to become the people we are today. Then there was Father Cox who came into my life and showed me what it meant to be a "professional human being" while redefining the word and world of religion.
I can still feel what it was like to have him drop in to my parents house in LaSalle in the late 60's, unannounced of course. It felt like one of the Beatles just walked in the door. Really. The guy was a dynamo. Whatever he had going I wanted to be a part of it. Riding in the black 69 Coronet Police Special on some kinda mission was always exciting, (he drove HARD), whether it was to visit with someone in an old folks home or racing into Montreal with full on lights and siren through the Atwater Tunnel on the wrong side of the tunnel through on coming traffic to get to a kid who ran away from home, there was always adrenaline pumping through my 16 year old system, and I loved it.
The first word he gave me was Real. When he read The Velveteen Rabbit to us on the first Retreat I attended in LaSalle, it struck home. The lesson was; embrace & love what is Real. His message was Be Real. What a positive & powerful concept to share with kids who were searching for meaning in their lives. And he demonstrated just how powerful this concept is in everything he did and with everyone he met. He cared about the important stuff. He ACTED to make life better for those in need. There are talkers and there are doers and I've still to this day never met anyone who was a better doer.
Service. Service to the individual. Service to the community. That was his mantra. You want to find happiness? Give yourself away. Seek out the opportunity to do good. So simple. So true.
There are so many stories I and many others who have been graced by his presence in their lives have about him that it would take a book to tell them all. Here's a few examples of what I've witnessed. Being one of the first responders to the LaSalle Disaster in 1965. Bringing young people to old folks homes to visit people long forgotten and lonesome. Supporting the first telephone distress center in Montreal. Putting kids to work in helping the poor to help in any number of ways. Taking people to Europe to see the bigger world and open minds and hearts. Visiting hospitals to spend a little time with suffering and dying children. Literally knocking down walls between an orphanage and the nearby town in Ireland.
Everything was personal to him. He embraced the concept of personal responsibility. If not me, then who? Even being a good Catholic meant making it personal. It wasn't simply a belief system, it needed to be personal to have meaning... Christ is a person therefore you must have a personal relationship with him. You don't love a belief system, you love Christ himself. Even though I am no longer a practicing Catholic, (I now worship all life in the church of nature.), the values and insights he taught me and exemplified, hold true to this day. Take the blinders off. Look for the truth in all things. Practice self discipline. Appreciate self sacrifice. Give till it hurts. Seek the calm place within yourself.
There was a time when people who hung out with Father Cox were labeled as hero worshippers. I say; so be it. Damn right. He was a hero and I still worship him. His spirit lives in me and I will love him till my last breath. He was my other father and I know that he has touched so many others just as deeply. Lucky us.
Rest easy all of you. He is where we will all be one day and hopefully we will hear him say... See, I told ya.
So celebrate!! Celebrate Alan Cox's life. What a force of nature and Spirit he was!
A Good man. A man of God.
He was the most Real man, along with my Dad, ever.

I met Father Cox during my high school years. I traveled with him to Europe one Christmas.. When in Zurich, we met up with a Boy from Ireland who was in a wheelchair, and everyone took turns pushing him around as he was part of our group now, I realized what a special man he was. Christmas mass in the barn was very Special that winter in Europe. I imagine their must be hundreds of stories just like mine. May he rest in peace.

Father Cox had more influence and impact on my life than my own father. He provided me with more opportunities to open my eyes to the big world than anyone could. He selected me when I did nothing to deserve it and transformed my life. Thank you father and may the Lord bless you as you have us.

It is with great sadness that I learn of the passing of this great man. Father Cox had a great and positive influence on my life and the lives of many others.

The Marcotte family was very close with Father Cox...my brother Arthur especially, who traveled to Europe with him and spent many an evening in deep discussions.
I remember him most at mass every Sunday at St John Brebeuf and loved him dearly. I think he is in every Elementary school photo I have as well as my First Communion and confirmation photos. What an example he was, I am only sorry that I did not get to see him after he left St John Brebeuf parish. God Speed Father Cox...I'm sure you'll get everyone in line "Upstairs"....Say Hi to my Mom, Dad and ALL the Marcottes up there.God Bless.

I first met Father Cox when I was just six years old. He comforted my family with his prayers and gentleness at my Grandmother's funeral. Then I met him again when I was a young girl attending L.C.H.S. How I loved his beautiful heart and warm smile. Dinner in his home along with other classmates was always exciting. He sure can make us laugh. The girls would spend occasional weekends with Sister Lucille and that meant that we were always invited to break bread with Father Cox and his guests (the male classmates). I believe he really served God to the upmost capacity. He had the innate ability to make everyone feel loved, respected and equal. May God bless your soul. I will forever remember you.
