The Celebration of Gordon Cox Life



Gordon Cox


On Saturday March 25th the family and friends held a wake and called it The Celebration of Gordon Cox Life .  It was a musical wake. Musicians who Gordon had played with throughout the years came out in his honor for this fitting and final farewell.

Bill from the group Killer Whales done a fine job of hosting



The turn out was spectacular.




Gordon had performed a lot with Terry Beck over the years

Many thanks to Gordons family, and the crew at 612 Kitchen & Cocktails for such a successful and memorable afternoon.


On a personal note. 
Gordon and I had several things in common. Besides performing with Congas, and also working with the Train Track Troubadours, we both had diabetes.  
It wasn't until recently that I also learnt of his motorcycle interest. Although he rode a Ducati I wouldn't of held that against him because he was such a free spirit and I am sure he will be missed by many.

We should all be so well loved and well thought of....
