You all are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Sending you love and prayers.
God bless you Uncle Johnny. You will be missed dearly. I’m sure you will be looking down upon us all. I will always remember going to the drivein movies with all of us kids piled into the station wagon…… Some of my fondest memories. My deepest sympathy Anne, Debby, John, Susie, and Michael.
Love, Michele & Steve
I have great memories of Cousin John Fox. Every time I pass Strasburg Railroad I think of him and his train stories. Very sorry for your loss.
My deepest condolences. God has a plan to soon wipe out all suffering forever (Revelation 21:4) and reunite us with our loved ones that have fallen asleep in death. Soon there will be no more funerals, cemeteries, or tears of grief; 1 Cortinthians 15:26 assures us that “The last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing.” May the God of all comfort, Jehovah, help to sustain you during this difficult time of loss.
Sorry for your loss! He was a great man. The family is in my thoughts and prayers at this time.
I cannot convey the depth of sorrow and loss that I feel by Johnny’s passing! Our deepest Condolences to the entire Family! He was as good and decent a man as they come, and I will forever feel his loss.
Dear Fox kids We are so sad at the passing of your Dad. He was such a wonderful person and we know you guys will miss him terribly. He was always there when we had a problem up on Stevens Avenue. He always had a solution. You guys were the best neighbors anyone could ask for. Our thoughts and prayers are with you guys. We are unable to attend the services since we are working. Love to you all Ann, Debbie, John, Susie, and Mike.
Your dad was a wonderful parent, and a strong supporter of St Lawrence school. I remember him doing the electrical work for the carnival. I’m glad I met him last year at a friends house. He spoke lovingly of all his children.He was a great man.
Dear Suzy and family, the loss of your dad will leave a heartache that no one can heal, love leaves a memory that no one can steal. My deepest heartfelt condolences.

Thinking of you and your family John.
