Mr. Cox was loved by many and affectionately responded to as “Doc” by many of his family. T.W. loved the Lord and shared his testimony with everyone he met after being saved at the age of 58. He was a hunter, fisherman and enjoyed traveling with his RV buddies. He was an avid sports fan, and especially loved listening to the Rebels play on Friday nights. He adored his wife of 71 years, loved his children, grandchildren and his extended family members and friends. He was larger than life and will be greatly missed.
