    My sympathy to the family and friends of “Fox”. He definitely was a unique individual!
    I have many memories of him..One in particular…We were at a wedding of, I believe a co-worker of his; I was in the midst of conversation and lost track of him.. searching the house and grounds,only to find him surrounded by children entertaining them with “magic”! oh! and let’s not forget Bucca the talking dog!
    I think the line went…”Bucca! what keeps your head dry when it rains?”..Bucca would bark..”woof” ..that’s right Bucca …A roof!
    I hear the angels laughing at his jokes already! Rest in Peace Fox!

    Please notify me of the memorial service..I would like to come if i can.
    Thank you,
    Julie Porter

    So very sorry to hear of the loss of your brother Debbie and Dotty. He was my first love back in high school and I often wondered how he was over the years, if he had a family and what he was doing. I see he continued to work at NY Life for all those years. I remember him as always quick with a joke and being the “life of the party.” I’m sure he will continue to entertain in heaven. Warmest wishes. Rhoda
