FORMER Councillor Pat Cox “had the capacity to make all of us feel special,” mourners at his funeral have been told.

The 71 year old, who worked as an undertaker and plumber, died at his home on Tuesday.

Father John Halton told those gathered at St. Mary's Church in Tempo that Mr. Cox's joyful, talkative and caring personality “took the best out of us and allowed us to take the best out of him.”
