Not sure what to say?

George performed in an exemplary fashion as editor of Politics & Policy and executive director of the Southern Political Science Association. I miss him, and revere his legacy.

George was a good friend and a heck of a sailor. He asked good questions. I would have liked to walk the Camino de Santiago with George. I’m sure he would have liked Spanish vino tinto.

I just found out George passed away. It is a shame we did to get to see each other before he died.

I had the pleasure of being one of Dr. Cox's many students at Ga. Southern University. He was a genuine scholar and a true gentleman. Decades later, I am unable to read or hear the name Robert Putnam without thinking of Dr. Cox. I am saddened by his death, but I am unsurprised to learn that he spent his final years in service to others.

Requiescat in pace.

Please accept my condolences during your time of great sadness. May you cherish fond memories to cope with the pain from day to day. Take note of the comforting words at 1Thessalonians 4:14, the beautiful hope of seeing your loved one again.

We are praying for peace and comfort for Carol and George's family, he was a wonderful neighbor who never had anything but a kind word.
