Curtis Dale Cox, Jr., 59, of Hockessin, DE and formerly of Coatesville, PA, passed away on September 11th, 2012. He was the beloved husband of Lynn Marie Cox for 42 years.
Born on September 29, 1952, he was the son of Marian Hoover Cox and Curtis Dale Cox, both of Coatesville, PA.
Curt is survived by a son, Timothy Dale Cox, husband of Kimberly Ann Jones Cox of Lancaster, PA; a daughter, Jennifer Lynn Cox Moore, wife of Eric Benjamin Moore, of Avondale, PA; and his siblings, Bonnie Young, Patricia Gilmore, Brenda Hillard, Randy Cox and Brian Cox. Curt was the very proud grandfather of Jared Curtis Cox, Christopher Dale Cox, Julianne Marie Cox, Brooklynn Marie Moore and Evan Curtis Moore.
Curt was employed by Lukens Steel in Coatesville, Pa. for 12 years, General Motors of Wilmington, De. for 24 years and was a current employee of Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics of Newark, DE. Curt enjoyed participating in many sports since the age of 6, but his true passion was softball. He played softball for over 40 years and currently was the League Commissioner of the Chester County Senior Modified Softball League. Curt was an outstanding outfielder and true team player, contributing on many championship teams.
Most important to Curt was the time he spent with family, especially the summer vacations at Lake Raystown. He welcomed any opportunity to spoil his children and grandchildren. He was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather and friend and will be deeply missed.
Friends and family are invited to Curt's memorial service on Monday, September 17, 2012 at 11:00 AM at the Hephzibah Baptist Church, 2237 Strasburg Road, Coatesville, PA 19320, followed by interment in the adjoining cemetery. The visitation will take place at the church from 10 until 11 AM.
In lieu of flowers the family would like to request donations be made to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, 1311 Mamaroneck Avenue, Suite 310, White Plains, NY 10605.

My Sincerest Condolences and Deepest Sympathies
I apologize, as you probably don't know me. My name is Jack Dibeler, and I played against Curt in the Chester County Over-50 Fast Pitch Softball League. I only knew him for four years, but it was easy to see what kind of person Curt was. I believe very strongly that what we show on the field of competition is an extension of who we are as a person. Between the white lines, Curt was a fierce competitor, but he competed fairly, within the rules and always, ALWAYS, with deep respect for the game. Win or lose, and he won a LOT more than he lost, after the game he had a smile on is face. I can only guess he was the same of he field.
Please accept my sincere condolences. I pray that, in time, you find peace.
Patty and Family, I am

I'm so sorry for your loss. Losing a parent, especially when so young is a horrible thing to go through, I lost my mother 3 years ago to cancer and can relate a little as to how you are feeling. It's a surreal experience and it does get easier as time goes on, the pain unfortunately never seems to leave, just lightens a little which helps some. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help during this time of grief.

Just wanted to add a condolence out of respect for my friend.
I am a softball friend of Curtis that competed against him
for 5 years. He was always a class act, a true GAMER, and always had my

Dear Bonnie,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your brother. I just happened across it accidentally. I remember him as a very nice person and very cute in high school. Sounds like he really had a full life even if it was cut short. He knew the important things and made them count.
