Wow, what a shock and surprise to learn of LTC Cox's passing. It's truly a "small world" I received the Iowa "LEGIONNAIRE" and saw his notice and Corydon, Iowa listed as his home. Well, back in the late 50's and early 60's my parents (Ruth and Dick Bowers both now deceased) would go to Dean and Daryl's home in Davenport, Iowa across street for Madison School. My mom worked at Mercy Hospital, and we would play outdoors with Rick and Nancy. Fast forward many years to my own US Army reserve career of 34 years in the 103D COSCOM .after my own active duty service. I had no Idea that LTC. Cox was one in the same. I only knew him as Colonel Cox. But I did know they had moved to Corydon, Iowa. Rick, Nancy and family sorry to learn of his passing. I've got fond memories of picnics at Lake Storey in Galesburg, Illinois. Daryl Cox gave me my very 1st C-Rat (Spaghetti) I've remembered after all these years and Ricks Army display upstairs.

God Bless all of you.

Daryl was a great guy. I got to know him due to ham radio. I talked with him many mornings as he was on his mail route. He turned into being a great friend. He was like another dad to me. Always there for you. I will miss him very much but I know he believed in the Lord Jeasus Christ. I know that he is now home with the Lord having a good time praising the Lord. Love you always Daryl.

This man, and the other 2 rural carriers, started a "penny jar"that they tossed their loose change in (and whatever else was in their pockets)😬 when I was pregnant with Delanie, then delivered it to the hospital when she was born. He played Santa for our kids, greeted us at the door at Halloween when we took them trick or treating, and gave me a lot of crap through the years. I called him (and Hazel) In the middle of the night to tell them I had a baby and wouldn't be into work the next day. (I gave him my sympathy that he would still have to go in and told him I hoped he couldn't get back to sleep and would be tired). On the day he retired, I remember him playing a cassette tape the whole morning on repeat of one song, "Take This Job and Shove It". I loved this guy because we shared a lot of life together. We laughed a lot throughout the years. He was a great Dad and the absolute best Grandpa and Great Grandpa! He is now with the love of his life and we I couldn't be happier for him. ❤️ So sad your hearts are breaking with the loss of this guy. I'm right there with you.

Daryl was always the first person from church at the sale barn helping to cook the meal. And then he was the last to leave, staying to help clean up. He had a heart of gold and would help anyone in need. I will miss you Daryl, but I am so happy that you are finally together with Hazel again, together in heaven with Jesus. That is a comforting thought!
