He was preceded in death by his parents, sisters Delores Marie Cox O’Brien and Anne Margaret Cox Roberts, a brother Charles Melvin Cox, and his daughter, Linda Joan Hamilton Cox. Surviving are his two brothers, Paul Michael Cox (Cathy) of Allison Park, PA, and James Ronald Cox (Ann) of Melbourne, FL, his two children, John Hamilton Cox IV of Fisher, PA, Catherine Cox Byrd of Atkinson, GA, his grandchildren, Todd Jason (TJ) Nicewonger (Trisha) of Kill Devil Hills, NC, Rachel Grace Nupher Brookville, PA, Heather Rebecca Cox of Greenville, PA, John Hamilton (L J) Cox V (Stormie) of Lyndora, PA, Jeremiah Hamilton Byrd of Atkinson, GA and Joshua Eugene Byrd (Ashley) of Atkinson, GA, and special nephew, Henry Roberts.

He served in the United States Army from 1953 until 1961, was a member of the American Legion Post #66, the Knights of Columbus, and remained a patriot throughout his life. He graduated from Robert Morris College which allowed for a lifelong career in corporate finance and accounting.

He was of the Catholic faith and a member of St. Peter Catholic Church in Slippery Rock, PA, which is where he made his home after retirement from his extensive career. He was an avid sports fan, both college and professional. His most enjoyable time was spent visiting with his family and at his camp in Green Oaks as he loved the outdoors.

His sense of humor and scholarly discussions will be missed dearly by his many friends and family.

A memorial service will held in mid – January. Memorial donations may be made to the American Legion.
