    I extend my deepest sympathy to you all. Bud was one of the most easy going, reliable and patient people I have ever known. He loved his family and your mother completely and was proud of you. I'm grateful for all he did for my sister. He was always there to smooth Dorothy's ruffled feathers and encourage her. He treated me like a little sister and my parents with respect. I'm sure he will be missed and that his memory as one of the truly "good guys" will be with us always.

    Mrs. Fox, Ken, and the Fox Family, You have our deepest sympathy on the passing of your husband and father. Mr Fox was always fun to be around and he was such a large part of us all as we were growing up. I'll always remember spending time at your house "making pizza" and just hanging out. He was such a great card game dealer at the St Canice Festival. May you have comfort in knowing that his life was one of joy. We will say a prayer for him. Bob and Carolyn Schmitt

    To The Foxes Tina and I want to extend our deepest sympathy for your loss. We regret that we will not be able to attend the funeral as we are in Florida until the middle of April. I've known your dad all of my life and I can tell you he was truly a wonderful person.

    Dorothy,Kenny, Keith and families: Your Father was one of a kind. I remember his returning from his stint during Korea to our home and how handsome he looked in his "whites". He was always kind to me . Even though I never knew Gary or Holly, I always remember how good Kenny and Keith were when I watched them on Friday nights. You never knew how afraid I was at 11 yrs old to have 2 small boys in my care, but it is one of my fondest memories! Your Dad loved his family unconditionally...what a tribute to any man!
