Grandpa Ed Cox passed away on Sunday, April 20, 2008. He was 85 years young and sharp and strong enough to take on many more years. Ed was a Marine Pilot in WWII, worked for the Bureau of Land Management and also worked for the LDS church as a Cartographer. To be "on time" for Ed meant you arrived at least one hour early and he was also who to call first if there was any news to get out to the family. I remember: many parties at Robintino's, chats in his living room while he sat in his recliner, his fancy "red sports car walker", detailed stories from his past, singing There was a Forest Ranger and Johnny Verbeck, and a big smile welcoming you and his great-grandkids in for a visit. He was married 64 years to his sweetheart Jane, who has been a loving companion throughout his life. We will miss you and love you Grandpa Ed and look forward to chatting with you again.

What a nice little tribute. We also like the new look of the blog! Can't wait to see you all in less than a month... we've started the countdown!
I am so sorry for your loss. We hope Lo is doing well as well as his family. We will keep you in our prayers. We lose you. Kristin
It's so hard to see Grandparents go, but always nice to remember the many good times and memories. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
Hi guys... It was really nice to see you at the funeral. Lo did such a great job with his talk. Hopefully we can see you soon under some better circumstances.
