Patricia C. (Bradford) Cox his wife of 53 years will dearly miss him as will his children, grandchildren, family and friends. He was a man of few words but was a loyal friend to many, and was always there if you needed a hand, a laugh or just someone to give you a ride. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, golf and softball and loved watching his grandchildren enjoying whatever sport they participated in. Just being with family and friends made him happy and whenever he could beat them in a card game or board game (by any means necessary) made his day.

Mulka, Phoenix MD, Cody H. Cox and Shelby K.
