Roy COX Obituary

COX, Roy. After a long and hard-fought battle, Roy finally conceded defeat (like most weeks for his beloved team, Queens Park Rangers) and passed away peacefully at Mercy Hospice, Ponsonby on 17 January, 2013. Much loved husband of Barbara and father of Michele, Tara, Craig and the late Bailey, and utterly adored Popsy of Trinity and Lawson. A celebration of his life will be held at Bill McKinlay Park, 3 Ireland Rd, Panmure on Tuesday 22 January at 2pm. Our thanks to the lovely staff at Mercy Hospice for their wonderful care of Roy in his last week.
