Cox, Harold Richard
88, of San Clemente, passed away March 31, 2011. Dick was born in Osceola, Nebraska, Oct. 8, 1922 to Harold Herbert Cox and Florence Marie Ankeny. As a young Eagle Scout he attended the first Boy Scout Jamboree in 1937. The family moved to Glendale in 1939, and there he met his wife of 63 years, Barbara Jean Doty. They married July 31, 1943. During World War II, Dick served in the Navy. After the war, he attended USC Dental School, graduating in 1953, and for 30 years had a successful dental practice in Mission Hills. He remained a lifelong Trojan booster, supporting the school and aspiring students. Dick loved the ocean and spent the last half of his life living by the coast in Orange County, where for many years he was an avid boater and a member of the Coast Guard Auxiliary. He liked cars, especially fast ones. He was an active supporter of Republican causes and candidates. In later years, Dick usually could be found on the golf course, where three times he hit a hole in one, or in the garden, where his green thumb was the envy of many and the birds were always well fed. A generous man, Dick will be remembered for his easy laugh, impish grin and outgoing and outspoken personality. He was preceded in death by his wife, Barbara.
