Obituary of Wallace Cox

COX, Wallace Dunning (Peter) Q.C., B.A., LL.B. Veteran of D-Day (Juno Beach) With sadness we announce the passing of Wallace (Peter) Cox on Wednesday, April 23, 2008, at 92 years of age. Son of the late Frank W. Cox and Ethel Gordon Dunning Cox. Beloved husband of Mary Catherine Ellis, his wife of 62 years, and loving father of Merridy Cox Bradley. He is sorely missed by friends and family, especially by John and Joyce Ellis and Doris Ellis Snook. Born in Toronto in 1916, he attended Boxgrove School in England, Upper Canada College, University College (U of T), and Osgoode Hall Law School. He was a captain in the Royal Canadian Artillery 14th Field Regiment (1941-45). He was much respected as a family solicitor with Cox, Armstrong and Smith. A member of Beta Theta Pi, he remained active with his fraternity brothers all his life. He played with the Grace Church Cricket Club, where he was a member for over 50 years. For many years, Pete and Mary held a spring get-together at the Caledon Ski Club for friends from MacCauley/Cradleship Crêche, the COB Club, and the Sunday ski group. Family and friends fondly remember spending many summer days with Peter at their summer home on the shores of Lake Temiskaming. A memorial service for the immediate family will be held in the future. As an expression of sympathy, in lieu of flowers, donations to The Lung Association, 573 King Street East, Suite #201, Toronto M5A 4L3, or to a charity of your choice would be appreciated by the family.
