Ben Hudson wrote a sympathy message

“My deepest sympathies to the Cox family. I knew Tony through work. We pretty much spoke over the phone for business reasons on a daily basis. Through our conversations, we became friends. I knew how excited Tony was to go on vacation with Julie to Florida,and it hit me very hard when I heard the news. I am truly going to miss the stand-up person Tony was. I wish all the best to the Cox family during this difficult time.”
