COX

Christopher Haskell Cox, beloved husband of Allyson (Morin) Cox, and son of 
Arlene Haskell Cox and Edward J. Cox of Tolland, passed away Thursday morning,
March 27, 2003, after a long, arduous, and difficult battle with cancer.

Chris loved and lived an active and heroic life and will be missed by his 
numerous friends. He enjoyed all sports and was active in skating, skiing, 
tennis, baseball, soccer, fishing, and fly tying. He loved, especially, outdoor 
activities and the summers spent on Willoughby Lake in Northern Vermont. We 
remember him playing the trumpet and the joy he had as a member of the school 
band. Chris attended Tolland High School, where he received the U.S. Air Force 
Mathematics and Science Award. He fell in love with Allyson Morin, who became his 
devoted wife. He went on to the University of Connecticut, where he received 
degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Material Science, and was presented the 
Mina Baxter Award from the School of Engineering. He worked for United Technologies 
Pratt & Whitney Division while a student at the University of Connecticut. Later, 
he was employed by the Seimon Company in Watertown as a research engineer and as 
an operation development engineer. He held several patents for the Siemon Company. 
He spent many happy hours at Taylor Rental, where he learned much from Duane 
Mathews about mechanical objects.

He is survived by his wife; his parents; his in-laws, Raymond and Bonnie Morin; 
grandmother Haskell; and many aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Friends may gather on Monday, March 31, at St. Matthew's Church, Tolland for a 
Mass of Christian Burial at 10 a.m. Burial will be in South Cemetery, Tolland.

Friends may call at the Tolland Memorial Funeral Home, 375 Merrow Rd. (Rte. 195) 
Tolland on Sunday from 2 to 5 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the American Cancer Society,
