""Dr. Cox is an amazing wordsmith, and this book is a precious gem. He combines wisdom and humor to teach us about our last lap of our earthly race. It is a reminder of the impermanence of this physical life, the importance to invest in our spiritual, eternal life and 'lay up our treasures in heaven.'"" --Donna Ames, Professor Emeritus, Department of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences, UCLA ""This book is filled with a mouthful of humor, a headful of wisdom, and a heartful of compassion. It will at the same time excite your mind, make you think, and understand a bit more about your loved ones and your future."" --James M. Mason, Experimental Pathologist ""This book is hilarious but will chill your soul with the truth."" --Ann Crawford, Nanogenarian ""Geezers and Goozers is a delightful and heartwarming collection of life lessons that offers valuable insights for everyone.

A brilliant treatise on this stage of life.'' --Shirley Burnside, Family Therapist ""Funny but not funny at all, when you are getting old like I am.
