Re: John Cox
That is sad news. He was such a kind and gentle man, with that winning smile which was impossible to avoid when he was selling Zone 3 Rally tickets!

Re: John Cox
indeed, and he will be sorely missed at the Tephrocactus Study Meetings too, and all the other events he regularly supported. Condolences to all his family.

Re: John Cox
That is very sad, he was such a kind and gentle man and great supporter of the society. I will miss him.

Re: John Cox
Just wanted to say how much I will miss John, he turned up to many of our Huddersfield meetings and always brought warmth and good humour to the proceedings. I'm lucky enough to have copies of all the books he put together on the history of the Society in the Bradford area - his knowledge of this history was immense as was his enthusiasm for the hobby. It won't be the same without you John, RIP.
