Hit Producer, Engineer And Friend, Larry Cox Passes Away!
Pictured from left to right: John Rhys, Suzanne Ellis and Larry Cox
The call came this morning. Larry Cox had finally succumbed to cancer. He fought the disease bravely throughout the last several years. He had mentioned that his wish was to go and that he thought he wasn't going to win the battle. His friend, Marilyn Parker, called with the news.
Larry will be remembered always for his contributions to American popular music. He had several number one records, a feat not easily achieved. He produced and engineered "Precious And Few" for Sonny Geraci and Climax and produced "Miracles" for the Jefferson Starship. Both went to number one in the charts.
Larry was a gentleman and a real human being and is already greatly missed.
Funeral arrangements are being prepared in Littlefield, Texas. Flowers and condolences may be sent to:
Marilyn Parker
311 E. 22nd. Street
Littlefield, Texas
79339
BluePower is preparing a show with a number of Larry's great productions. Stay tuned!

satellite Take a piece of me
John,
I feel as if I know you because Larry often mentioned you when I interviewed him about Climax. I knew him since '86 when I sought him out as a big fan of the group. I was working at "American Top 40 with Casey Kasem" at the time and later wrote syndicated radio shows for Dick Clark.
If you need to reach me, I'm at guyaoki@yahoo.com. Thank you for "Walking In The Georgia Rain" and being a friend of Larry's.
I'd been fearing his passing for a long time until Marilyn told me yesterday.

Dear John,
Thank you so much for your kind words. I know you meant alot to Dad. My sister and I spoke with Sonny Geraci today as well, it was great to connect with him and share some thoughts about Dad together. Please let me know when your show is complete. Would love to see it!
You can contact me at juliandra@aol.com.
The proud daughter of Larry Cox,

Hi John,
This is Gina, Larry's oldest daughter. Thank you for the wonderful memorial online here - I know Dad would've appreciated it. He and I were very close and it is a struggle, but knowing he is out of pain means everything.
Thanks again,
Gina Middleton
