Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Still miss the presence of this wonderful officer, and man, in the Chillicothe, Ohio community. Luckily, through my mom's job, I was able to meet, and get to know, Larry.

Another year gone by Brother. You are still a force in this world and so many people, Officers, citizens alike talk of you often. You ARE missed.

I still miss you just as much as the day it happened. I just saw pics of Ev.... whew, talk about gorgeous. There aren't very many of us left that were there when we were. Most have retired but lots have come up there with you. Either way, it sucks. Another round of holidays are coming... I still have no desire to put up a Christmas tree. Every time I come down High or Church, I can just hear that obnoxious laugh of yours! Keep an eye out, until I see you again!!!! Much love and many blessings.

I can't believe you have been gone this long. Doesn't seem real. Talked to your mom and your sister a couple weeks ago. They both looked good. I don't get to see our trooper anymore, he moved to a different job. I hear he is doing well. I hope you and Roger are trying to behave up there....lol. But I wouldn't expect anything less of you two. Lol. I miss you!!!

Sometimes I just get on this page to read the reflections of love to you. Sometimes I just stare at the screen and get lost on my thoughts. Sometimes I just can't breathe looking at it. But always, absolutely always, I end up writing and crying.

I talked to one of our old friends the other day and he told me some things that I didnt know. It made me angry at the same time as it made me confused. I still think very differently as he and some other colleagues, but that's okay too. I'm a little bit stubborn in my thoughts. Maybe it's my defense mechanism so I don't have to think about certain things from that night. Heck, I don't really know. I guess honestly, it doesn't really matter, because the end result is still the same and it still sucks.

Talk soon.

Officer Larry Cox,

Of all the good men I have known in my 45 years of military service, and as a California Peace Officer in Sacramento in the 1980's, and as a federal agent, you remain my ideal of selfless service, honor, and courage.

And my gratitude for the wonderfully positive influence you had as the Chillicothe Police Representative on the children and young people in Chillicothe, especially my precious daughter at Bishop Flaget, My Little Venchise, is eternal. I don't know who misses you more, even now, me or Venchise.

The Saints and Angels were waiting for you, but it is hard for me to believe that they needed you more than did we.
Difficult to express how much you were appreciated and loved and needed here.

Your were and remain in my memory a fine and good man. I want you back. I fear that we will not see your like again. You were good in every way in a world tending toward evil and chaos.

I look to my memory of you to guide my personal and professional conduct. I cannot imagine a better role model -- for anyone.

I think of you every day. What would Larry do?

Larry Cox, the embodiment of a good man. We miss you more and this world needs you more now than ever.

Enough. You did much good. You did no wrong. you are missed.

I remember Larry, working out with him at the YMCA in Chillicothe from 1999 to 2001, seeing him at Bishop Flaget, and how my little daughter, Venchise, respected him so fondly from her contacts with him at school and at the Y. What a good man. The angels were waiting for him. This lad is missed.

Larry was our DARE officer at Central and Mt Logan. He was so good with the kids. He would come eat lunch with the students and then stay for recess to organize kick ball games. He helped chaperone Patrol trips to Washington D.C. and outdoor education trips to Woodland Altars. It was such a comfort (and fun) to have him along. Those of us who knew him will not forget him.

NEVER FORGET! On behalf of the Westerville, Ohio Division of Police, we honor the dedicated service and ultimate sacrifice of Police Officer Larry Randolph Cox of the Chillicothe Police Department, Ohio and the additional 56 American Peace Officers who have paid the ultimate sacrifice on this date in history.

Doesn't seem possible still. Everyone has started to move on a little. New guys in the office, big changes have gone through. Your picture remains on the wall where it was placed originally. I have left the department and the feeling of family is gone for us old timers...lol. Seems there are so many new faces there now. I miss the days when we all hung out together doing family things. I hate the 21st of April!!!!! I hate it so very much. I'm still bitter about the whole thing. If I could I would go back and protect you from going down that alley. I would have done anything in my power to change the sequence of events that night. It's not fair!!!! You were one of the few good guys that everybody loved. The whole city loved you. I went down to Greenlawn today and there are so many people in there that I know. It takes all I have to just drive into that place....it sucks. As my tears fall, I re-live that Thursday night so often. Every time I pass Shoemaker Center I hold my breath for a second and I wonder how many people still think of you, how many people say a prayer for your brothers and sisters in blue? How many people have forgotten? Too many questions and not enough answers. Larry Randolph you will live with me until I die. I will never forget you or your ultimate sacrifice!!! Goodnight my friend!!!! Love and blessings!!!!

Well, you got me good tonight!!! I haven't decorated for Christmas since you left. I guess I realized that night just how evil people really are. I decided this year I would put up a teee and a few decorations. The second box I opened I found an old film envelope where you had sent film in to have it developed. It had your Stone Road address on it and was dated 2/6/95. It was empty so I have no idea what was in it. I can hear you laughing too.

I miss you more now than ever. I guess we are getting older and our friends are leaving me to come with you. Much love my dear friend!!!!

Hey Larry, it’s been 12 years since I have posted on here but I’ve never forgotten that horrible day and how it’s effected me! The PD has changed so much since your passing and their are very few of us left who served with you! I was a young rookie officer when we first met and you told me I looked like a cop from TV! You even gave me the nickname “Hollywood”! I was young and cocky much like the officers on the department today. I constantly harp on them about officer safety and tell them they never want to go through a day like April 21st 2005! I’ll never forget it but they just don’t seem to understand!!! Continue to watch over us Lord knows in today’s world police officers need all the help we can get!

I keep a reminder of you close to me every day. I truthfully think about you every day. It could have been any of us that day, but it was you. My heart has been heavy ever since.
I've seen your Mom several times this summer. What a sweet & special lady.
Larry, you are thought of often & remembered with admiration, respect & that little smile we all get when we think of you.
You will never be forgotten,... my brother in blue. #ThinBlueLine

Hi! I still think about you daily. Your picture is still up at the LEC. You and you're gorgeous blue eyes! I had a few people ask about you this past week. I told them "your story" best I could. Larry there are still things that I don't know and things I can't figure out. I always pray that you never suffered even for a second, but I don't know. I can't stand it.

Please keep an eye on us if you can. I miss ya bunches.

I miss you!!! So many things have happened and so many people have left us to join you. All the changes just keep coming. Please watch over your mom I know she is strong but please watch out for her!

This year marks the tenth year. It seems like you just got called home yesterday and then sometimes it seems like a life time ago. I met a family member of Rev Schmidt the other day and made me think of that Thursday. He was a rock to all of us.

Much luv!!!!

Just dropping by to let you know your father, Larry Roger Cox, passed away Friday, May 16th, 2014 one day before his 75th birthday. He had an 11 month bout with brain tumors called glioblastoma. He never complained about the pain he was in and left his world peaceably. Heaven is rejoicing. He will be buried Wednesday, May 21st. Just think about the 21st was the date you passed and if you add the month and date of your dad's passing, , it comes out to 21.
