ChileRelleno 7,069 Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Johnny Lee Cox Born: Aug 10 1939 Died: Aug 17 2010 Age: 71 Served the People of this Country in the US Navy, 20 years active duty in the Pacific Fleet, was Honorably Discharged upon Retirement with the rank of (IIRC) E-6. Served the State of Texas, and People of Lubbock County, as a Sheriffs Deputy for 15 years, was Honorably Medically Retired with the rank of Sergeant. Remembered and loved as a Ornery Ol'Bastard of a Son of a Bitch, who loved small animals and made friends easily. He leaves behind two children, five grandchildren, three brothers, a sister and a host of other relatives. I called him Dad, he passed today and I'm going to miss him. My beliefs say that he is with his family that has passed before and that I will see him again when I too pass. Until then, I will hold on to my memories and he will hold a place in my heart. Damn, but this sucks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's great that you believe there is a better place for us all and that you will be rejoined with your loved ones someday. Hang onto those beliefs as they will help with the pain of your loss knowing that this seperation is not permanent. I have a good understanding of how you feel as I lost my Father last October. Prayers and thoughts with you and your family, theDuke. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
