Bobby E. Cox – 1953 – 1987
By Joe Cox for my Dad!
Bobby E. Cox was a good father to me. Most of my memories were when he lived on 380 outside of Xenia (the house that burnt down) and then on Old Winchester Trail. Dad enjoyed hunting, fishing, rooster fighting and women! <grining>
Dad was the kind of guy that loved his music. I always remember riding in the car and the truck and he would have something “cheesy” playing and he would sing to me…then as I got older we would sing together. One of the best was he got a new answering machine (when they first came out) and he put the song by Lionel Richie “Hello…is it me you’re lookin for?” as the recording. He was proud of that!
Dad loved to go hunting. I used to love going rabbit, pheasant and squirrel hunting with him. He would always tell me about how he went huntinq with his brother…I never knew which brother, but he always said he would hunt when he was my age and he would feed the WHOLE family. I am not sure if it was a “story” or if it was true!
More to come….but for now…Dad you were the best and you will always be missed!
