Joseph R. Cox

Joseph R. Cox of Hull, formerly of Milton, passed away, surrounded by his loving family, after a brief illness on Tuesday, December 28, 2021.  He was 66.

Joseph was born to Clarence James Cox and Angelina Theresa (Veneto) and raised in Milton.  After graduating from Milton High School, he went to the school for Culinary Arts.  He was passionate about cooking and if you knew him, chances are he gave you a hot meal at one time or another.  He fed his family, friends, neighbors, and yes, even complete strangers.  After culinary school, Joseph became a realtor, owning his own real estate business.  He was funny, kind, generous and a friend to all with a heart bigger than life.   

Beloved husband of 42 years to Joyce (Marshall) Cox of Hull. Devoted father to Kerri Dalrymple and her husband John of Hull.  Cherished Grampy to Cameron Dalrymple and grandpup Brody and “Joe’s Best Friend” of 16 years Kacie.  Beloved brother to Stephen Cox, Angela McHugh and the late James, Chris, and Michael Cox.  Caring son-in-law to Phyllis Marshall.  Brother-in-law to Don Marshall and his wife Kathy, Chuck Marshall and his wife Susan and Tim Marshall and his wife Denise.  Loving uncle to Christopher McHugh, Kelly Webber and her husband Greg, Tim Marshall, Haley Marshall, Paige Marshall and Kyle Marshall.
