Anthony William Cox

My Dear Friend,

I miss you so much!  You were the first and only person I have ever trusted.  I prayed for a friend and God sent you to me.  Neither of us understood our bond.  We just accepted it and learned to live together... it wasn't easy at first.  I would react to you pushing my buttons and you saw the beast that lives within me.  A defense I developed after so much abuse from men.  You loved me unconditionally, accepting all my faults and shortcomings.  In response, I allowed myself to love without fear, and began to love myself.  You were the greatest love of my life.  And you, my friend, learned how to show emotion feeling safe to do so.  You had a difficult time saying I love you, but you showed it in so many ways.  You completely trusted me, as I ran our household.  Thank you Tony for loving me, teaching me, and trusting me. I will forever miss you, my friend.  

Tony is survived by his wife J.L. Cos, his daughter Kelley Sedecki, his granddaughter,, Haley Sedecki, his brother David Cox, his sister-in-law Alice Cox, and several nieces and nephews.

Tony served as a U.S. Marine from 1958 till 1962.  He then became a banker.  His last days he suffered from dementia and it finally took him peacefully, at home, in his sleep.  You will be missed more than I can bare at times, my soul mate!!!
