So very sorry for the tremendous loss to the Fox family. Sending love and hugs to help you thru this.
I knew Mr. Fox not only from growing up a block over from him , but also got to know him even better over the years when he brought his vehicle into service at the dealership I use to work at . Mr Fox always had a lot of positive things to say and when we did talk about families he would always tell me how proud he was of his kids . I can still remember the few times we had lunch across the street from the dealership and all the long talks we had just about life in general . Mr Fox you will be missed . Thank you for all the good talks we had . May you Rest In Peace .
