This is so sad to write but Tom and Iva Cox have been our friends for 50 years or so. We lived across street from them in Wichita Falls, Texas. When they moved to Greenwood we moved to Fort Smith, AR. Our fondness memories are at the minnow farm. We would fish,eat, play cards and eat some more. Tom was always full of pranks and love to have fun. He was a dear friend and will be missed. Condolences to all the family and hold on to all wonderful memories. Love and God Bless
