Cox Sr., Leslie

Leslie O.

Grace Cox- Stephenson (deceased); Helen Cox Pree (deceased); Alma Cox Crawford, Edgar A. Cox (deceased), and Charles L. Cox (aka Bilial Yasin).

Norcom High School in 1948, and attended the Norfolk division of Virginia State College with a double major in special education and psychology. Leslie also further studied psychology at Hampton Institute. After working at the Norfolk Post Office as a clerk, he began his brilliant career in education as a special education teacher, assistant principal, principal and counselor in various schools in Portsmouth. He retired in 1991. Anyone who met Leslie quickly realized they were in the presence of a deeply intelligent, insightful and empathetic person. In his private life, whether dealing with his wife, children and siblings - he delighted in them and loved them unconditionally.
