Rudolph Cox Obituary

COX, Mr. Rudolph "Rudy" Leo, Jr., peacefully departed this life on May 30, 2022, at age 79. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 43 years, Linda Johnson Cox; and his parents, Rudolph L. Cox Sr. and Lois Cox. He was a caring husband, father and grandfather who touched all with his sense of humor.

An avid tennis player and golfer in his free time, he enjoyed a decades-long career in pharmaceutical sales with Carter Wallace allowing him to provide for his family, in which he took great pride.

A reception celebrating his life will be held Sunday, June 12, 2022, 3 to 5 p.m. at Hermitage Country Club, 1248 Hermitage Road, Manakin-Sabot, Va. To honor Rudy's love and devotion to his family and friends, memorial donations may be made to National Breast Cancer Foundation.

I was so very sad to learn that Rudy has passed away. I just moved back in the area and was so looking forward to catching up as he always made me laugh with his amazing stories(how I wish he had written a memoir!). My love goes out to his family and loved ones.
