Mr Cox was a wonderful man. He would call me every summer to let me know he had blackberries, and see how many I wanted.. when I picked them up we would stand and talk for a long time. I enjoyed talking with him and hearing memories of his past. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you..
