SEAMAN US Navy
Vietnam
February 15, 1945 - May 2, 2015
Harvey Allen Cox Jr., 70, passed away May 2, 2015, at his home in Egg Harbor Township, N.J.
He was born Feb. 15, 1945, in Queens, N.Y. The only thing Harvey loved more than his work and the New York Mets was his family.
After serving in the Navy on the USS America, Harvey found his calling in television news as a photographer at WAVY TV in 1969 and worked his way up into a long, storied and award-winning career. Most recently, Harvey spent 10 years as news director at WMGM in Atlantic City, N.J. He also spent time at KAIT in Jonesboro and WSPA in Greenville-Spartanburg, S.C. He won numerous awards for his teams' local news coverage, including an Emmy at WDBO (now WKMG) in Orlando. Despite the awards, he was most proud of those he mentored and worked with in their careers.
He is survived by the family he adored: his wife of nearly 45 years, Marie A. Cox; his six children, Kerry A. Croucier (Richard) of Torrance, Calif., James Cox (Amy) of Glen Allen, Va., Lynn Wilcox (Charley) of Jonesboro, Paul Cox (Ellena) of Bono, Robin Holcomb (Brad) of Paragould and Robert Cox of the home; and 14 grand-children.
A Funeral Mass was at Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church with a private in Arkansas State Veteran's Cemetery in Birdeye under the direction of Gregg-Langford Bookout Funeral Home.
