“Mr. Cox was such a kind and funny man. He was a great theology teacher, and I will never forget his class as one of the best. He always kept in touch with his students on Facebook, sending me a birthday message every year. I will miss him greatly, as will the many other students who learned from him.”

“I had the pleasure of teaching with Ed at St Hubert h.s. Since our classrooms were on the same floor and hallway, we often had chats early in the morning. His students loved him and the faculty admired and respected him. AND he was the only person I ever met who said he didn’t like pizza 😊 He will be missed. Tina Amato”
