Russell N. Cox

Still missing his loving presence in the Cox family

Russ was the best Uncle any nephew could ask for. Generous and kind, I looked up to Russ with admiration for his approach to life and the wisdom of his experience. He profoundly influenced my life. His sense of family and his examples of a life well lived will be remembered by me until my last day. I loved him and miss him dearly.

Russell N. Cox was one of the founding trustees of The Linnell Foundation and The Criminal Justice Policy Foundation. Russ provided the foundations and me with extraordinary professional support since I first met him in the Spring of 1988. He was always faithful in carrying out the vision of his long-time partner and friend, Robert Linnell.

As the de facto Managing Trustee of the Criminal Justice Policy Foundation for more than 26 years, his encouragement made him the third most...

Russ was a gentleman, a great neighbor, and a friend to all. A fine man. Best wishes to all his family--Mark Connolly

Russ, you were a wonderful man and beloved member at our church in New Castle. I have been lighting candles for you ever since I heard that you left us. Your gentle presence and charming smile will be missed by many of us. I will keep you and your dear family in my prayers. Rest in piece.

With our warmest condolences to your dear family,

Petra and Ludwig

Our sincere condolences to the family of Russ Cox. Susanna and Russ were so welcoming to my family and I. Deeply grateful for their love and support over the years. Surely a loss for your family and the community of people he touched.
Heidi and family.

Thank you Russ for connecting your family with us. We remember those nice days with you and your daughters in July 2015. We will never forget you.

Russ put family first

A Pocasset Cape Cod friend for 73 years. So respected in the community. I remember his folks (John and Mary) walking to the Wenaumet Bluffs beach holding hands with Mary in the white bathing cap. God Bless Russ Cox.
