In Memory of Clinton T. Cox, 1925-2009
Clinton T. Cox passed away in his sleep on September 27, 2009.
He was the best friend, the best example, the best adviser and the best father any man ever had or ever will.
He was a member of the "greatest generation" and a veteran of the United States Navy. Although he was a veteran of World War II, Korea and the Cuban Missile Crisis, his greatest battle was against cancer. In the end he was victorious, as we all know that Heaven sings tonight with the voice of a new saint.
May I someday be able to live up to the example that he set.

Words are so inadequate at a time like this. May time accomplish what no words can.
Thank you so much for the kind words and thoughts. They really meant a lot to me as I read them tonight after attending his services this afternoon.
