Jack A. Cox

I was baptized in October 1972 and moved to Heidelberg GE in November 1972. Jack was my first Bishop and became my mentor. I couldn't have had a more kind, patient, considerate person than Jack Cox to shepherd me into the church. He never rebuked, he counseled in his kind, gentle manner. He was guided by the Holy Spirit and led by example. Jack was the true example of the Savior's love. He inspired all who knew him to be a better Latter-Day Saint. He enriched my life and I mention him often...

Dear Janet and family, Even though it has been many years, as I stated previously, Jack is a man that will live in cherished memories. As he was the man that set the example for me I know he was an influence on many others. In my callings as a teacher, I've had, on many occasions, the opportunity to share the Jack Coxisms, with the classes. His Legacy lives on in the many lives he has touched, directly and indirectly. He will never be forgotten. With Gospel Love,

Miss you Uncle Jack!

Jack Cox exemplified the teachings found in the Doctrine & Covenants 121: 41 & 42 - "No power or influence can or ought to be maintained by virtue of the priesthood, only by persuasion, by long-suffering, by gentleness and meekness, and by love unfeigned; By kindness, and pure knowledge, which shall greatly enlarge the soul without hypocrisy, and without guile -" An imposing giant of a man in so many ways: tall, handsome, well-spoken, truly caring, understanding and always willing to step out...

Dear Julia,
I want to send my condolences to you and your family.

Dear Sweet Janet, I am so sorry to hear of Jack's passing. I just got the email from Renee about this! I sure wish I had known sooner! You had a wonderful life together and I'm so glad that we have been good friends .... we miss you in the chorus, but I'm so glad you were able to be there for your sweet husband. All the very best to you. .... let's stay in touch! Love you....

Dear Janet - I was saddened to hear of Jack's passing while out of town last week. We have great memories of the times together in Heidelberg. Jack was a "teacher by example" to me when I served with him in the Bishopric. He was so firm in his convictions, yet so gentle in his abilities to persuade and show love, a truly remarkable man.

Janet,

Dick and I were so sorry to hear of Jack's passing. We learned a lot from

Dear Janet, I treasure our time together in our Heidelberg family and the time that we have been friends ever since. I miss Jack terribly and mourn with you and the kids. Maybe Pete and Jack can be missionary companions now - even if Pete has to learn Finnish! Anne Hixson
