Body

Bobs Cox of St. Michaels, Md., died July 25, 1994, after a long illness. His wife, Mary Louise Collier, survives. Bobs prepped at the Haverford School, majored in economics, and joined Cloister Inn.

Following naval service during the war he moved to St. Michaels, where he ran Cox Distributing Co., the family business, with his brother Paul. Bobs was a past president of the Memorial Hospital board of directors and was its vice-chairman at the time he died. He was an avid golfer and sailor. In addition to Mary Louise he is survived by sons William and Christopher, a daughter Susan, a grandson, and three nephews, who currently run the family business, now known as Triangle Oil Co. We mourn his passing.
