The amazing resume of Robert Vinsant Cox

Posted Sep 20, 2019
On September 19, 2016, the Tar Heel Nation lost an icon with the passing of Robert Vinsant (“Bob”) Cox. He was 90-years-old. Many Tar Heels remember Bob as a player on the UNC football teams of the late 1940s. While that’s true, there is much, much more to his resume. Bob Cox could very easily be the poster-boy for “The Greatest Generation.” (UNC.edu)
