Coxie, as John Cox is affectionately known, was a beloved bartender at Maloney's Bar in Butte until he retired at the age of 75. A Marine and former police officer in San Diego, Coxie provided a friendly face at the greatest bar ever. He was quick with a joke and might even light up your smoke (back when you could still smoke in a bar.)

Now 81, Coxie is still going strong. Listen in as we catch up with an old friend.
