Here’s his obituary, you guys. And a photo. Thanks to G!
June 30, 1948 – February 10, 2016 Chris Cox was born in Frankfurt, Germany on June 30,1948 to the late James and Angela Cox. Chris grew up in Milton, Massachusetts with his five siblings. Chris is survived by his brother Stephen of California, Angela, James, Joseph of Massachusetts and the late Michael Cox of Palm Springs, California. Chris came to Los Angeles in 1968 where he was the successful owner of several Night Clubs, including the Odyssey. Chris became a private investigator and most recently in the last 13 years, one of Hollywood’s most well known Bail Bondsman. Chris will always be remembered for his very generous and compassionate nature. Chris helped many people find their way in life. Taken from us too soon, Chris will be missed by so many. Funeral services will be held on February 14 at 11 a.m. at Hollywood Forever Funeral Home, located at 6000 Santa Monica Blvd. All are welcome to attend.

I have fond memories of The Odyssey. Disco was never my choice of music in the 80’s, but you couldn’t help but love it when you were dancin’ and groovin’ to it at this club. Fun times!

Very sad. Chris Cox is probably the only person with an accurate account of the events following the robbery at Nash’s house. I remember reading that Cox showed up at Eddie’s not long after the robbery had taken place and he said “John Holmes was standing by the bar and acting very nervous”. This contradicts Scott Thorson;s side of things.
