I just hate to hear this about Robert! He helped pass the days at Wax Works with his quick wit! I learned how to tie bows from Robert and will think of him each time I make one! He was loved by all that new him! My thoughts and prayers are with each of you! Amelia

Mr. Cox was the best teacher I ever had! (GHS '75.) He was so incredibly funny, creative, smart and truly cared about his students! He was awesome! We still share stories from our freshman year! My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Robert was a beautiful soul with a beautiful personality that literally lit any room with positivity and love. I will never forget his kindness my first year of teaching at SCHS where he allowed me to share his classroom during first block. He was an incredible mentor, and I will always remember the crazy, fun memories he created at SCHS: dancing to his blaring music up and down the hallways, smiling at each and every person daily, spraying students with a refrigerated bottle of water when they fell asleep, and so many more beautiful memories. Fly high, Coxy!!! You’re undoubtedly tossing your flaming battens in the presence of Jesus and the angels. Many prayers and much love for the Cox family.

Favorite high school teacher by far! I was lucky enough to have him freshman & junior year for literature. I’ll always remember him standing on top of his desk tapping his foot & singing to us, his fire baton twirling at pep rally’s, witty comebacks, and his quirky, fun, sense of humor. We used to love to pick at each other. He even wrote my college recommendation letter. He made such an impact on all of his students! “Love you, mean it, bye”. RIP Mr. Cox ❤️

Mr. Cox was gifted in sharing joy. He had fun expressions or nicknames for all he worked with! Whenever he called me Matilda he was saying, work a little but live a lot!
