I will always be grateful to Dr Cox for the opportunity to join the Urology faculty at UT Memphis. He was most supportive in allowing me to develop a private practice while running an active research laboratory and establishing a urologic oncology fellowship. He was a true mentor.
Dr Cox was the reason I went to a residency in Memphis. He was always kind and enjoyed teaching us how to be urologists. I still laugh in my head every month about how he remarked on the reverse Mohawk I would leave when doing a TURP surgery. Almost thirty years later.
Thank you and RIP
Condolences. Dr. Cox was a giant of a man. He will be missed. Jane Lambert
