The son of George Sanford Cox and Teresa Ethel (Woodward) Cox, George was born June 29, 1926, in Geronimo, Oklahoma. He married his darling wife, Jane (Crockett), 69 years ago and they spent most of their lives in Oklahoma. He fostered an atmosphere of life-long learning for himself and his family and prioritized education for his children.
