Charles Thomas Cox, age 76, went peacefully to his new home in Heaven on Tuesday, July 11th. When welcomed by his Savior, we’re sure he was also greeted by his dad and mom, former wife Joyce; brother, Alvin; and four sisters, Ruth Jones, Rubye Williams, Louise Keen, and Willie B. Calloway; a stepson, Jeff Chinn, and other relatives and loved ones who arrived in heaven before him. What a homecoming! He is survived by his wife Janie Chinn Cox; three sons: Randal Cox and Tommy Cox of Knoxville, and Douglas Cox of St. Petersburg, FL; a grandson, Michael Cox, and a granddaughter, Alicia Cox, of TN; six step-grandsons; two step-granddaughters; one sister, Sally Cox Templin (Golding) of Pelham, AL; one sister-in-law, Gertrude Cox (Alvin) of Mobile, AL; and a host of nieces, nephews, others relatives and beloved friends. Charlie was born in Clanton, AL, went to school and graduated high school there. After serving in the U. S. Army paratroopers during the Korean War, he later graduated from Auburn University with a degree in Industrial Engineering. He worked many years for Eaton, Yale and Towne at various locations including Lenoir City and retired as Vice President of Operations in Charlotte, NC, in 1990. He was truly a gift from God, and his life was a life of giving and serving wherever God chose. He was a great father to his children and was always interested and involved in their lives. He served several years as an Eagle Scoutmaster with state and national recognition. As such, he had opportunities to enrich the lives of many boy scouts under his care. The thing that mattered most in his life was serving his God. He was an ordained deacon and former Bible teacher and a mentor to all who knew him. But his greatest gift of ministry was visiting people who were sick, hurting or grieving. He spent many hours visiting and praying with them. A highlight of his life was traveling to Israel with Janie—walking where Jesus walked—and then going on into Egypt and climbing Mount Sinai. Charlie became an active member of First Baptist Church of Merritt Island soon after he and Janie were married in 1998. He has been a blessing to all who know and serve with him, and he will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.
