Jim was my college room mate at Ohio University in the fall of 1976. We were great friends! RIP Jim.

Kate and family,
So sorry to hear of your loss of Jim. Can't think of a time I saw him that he didn't have a smile on his face. Loved the kids so much. And the love of his life Kate. 
You are in our thoughts

Dear Fox Family,
You are all in my thoughts and prayers.  Jim was such a nice man.  I remember when he and Kate started dating and I remember when he played softball with my brothers.  My heart hurts for all of you.

So sorry to hear about Jim, just talked to him last week at Walmart.Had a lot of respect for Jim as we had a lot of battles on the softball field. RIP buddy from Mark Thomas.

Fox Family,

Thinking of you as you celebrate the life of Jim today. I wish I could be there with you, but am there in spirit. He was such a kind, thoughtful, and generous man for the many years I knew him as my next door neighbor and friend. I'm going to miss that laugh of his coming from your driveway! Please know that he will be missed and that you all are in our thoughts and prayers.

With love,
Andy, Kara, & Audrey Scott

Oh my,  Mrs Kate my arms are around you and family and in my heart.  I remember when I moved up here in '83, my Uncle Mike found out that I could cut hair and asked me to come over to cut Jim's long hair.  This was for a date w you, Kate.  Well Jim had shaved before coming,  so his face was still burning.  It took about two hours to do .. I had no training or schooling and we were also entertained.  But when all was done you had yourself a handsome full of life and very funny man.  I feel blessed to have met this bear of a man and you to Mrs Kate <3

Dear Fox Family,
Thank you for sharing Jim with everyone. He was such a beacon of light in this world, he brightened everyone's day he came in contact with.  He may be the most kind and nicest person we've ever known. If we would all strive to be more like Jim, what a wonderful place this would be.  God bless you all.

Jim was one of the good ones always had a smile and easy to talk with. The love he had for his family and friends was something to be admired.  He will be thought of often and remembered with fondness  I for one know I was blessed to have known him.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Jim.

He always had a warm hug and a treat for whomever may be visiting....be it person or animal :)  He was always kind to me and my family and I'm sure will be Dearly missed by those closest to him.  Peace & Love to all.  Amy, John & Kate Holthouse (Richmond, IN)

Even though I would only see Jim a couple of times a year, I considered him a friend.  He was always interested in what I was doing, how the family was getting along, and how my golf game was progressing.  He was a good man and I will miss him.

Fox Family,
So very sorry for the loss of the beloved patriarch of your family. The visit we had on your trip to the Beach will be my forever memory of Jim...may he RIP, and those of you he left behind, remember he is always watching over you. Much love

He always talked about the love for his wife and family. He was truly a very caring person. Your family will be in my thoughts and Prayers as you go thru this difficult time. God Speed Jim ....May you soar above with your wings and watch over your loved ones. RIP Jim.

Kathy and David-
My heart goes out to you and your family.  

 David, I know losing a brother is really tough!   

Kathy, I always remember your father cheering you on in volleyball in 7th grade, his whole heart was in it.

I will hold you both and your family in the light.

Jim was a great man, who will be truly missed by all.

To the Fox family: My heart breaks for you all knowing such a great person was taken from us well before his time.  Jim was a husband to one, a father and grandfather to few, and a friend to so many.  He was an incredible man who knew only kindness.  My greatest memories of having Jim around are when Kris and I played sports together and he was always so positive and encouraging to me and the others like we were his own.  I'll never forget when he taught me all the teams in the Big 10 one night when he and Kris were giving me a ride home from basketball practice.  Jim had a way about him that always made you feel good. He will be missed.  God bless you all.

What can you say about a guy you lived next door to for over 25 years? Not Enough! Jim Fox was a neighbor everyone dreams of having. He was the most kind, considerate, hard working individual, always doing for others or offering to help in any way he could and never was too busy to visit with anyone who would drop by on a whim or over the weekend when he was trying to mow the yard or work on some project. A water or cold beverage was always offered. He was always giving any kids and my grand kids Popsicles, quarters, candy, goldfish or graham crackers, juice, etc and even re-inflated the Christmas Mickey Mouse blow up for my granddaughter, Audrey on New Years day so she could see it one more time, while he was really trying to put it away. Thanks Jim, you will be in all of our hearts forever. We will never forget your acts of kindness and know that I will be thinking of you when I am out mowing and working in the yard. You will be there in spirit, I know.
To the Fox family we will keep you in our thoughts and prayers!
Love, 
Susan Beisner, Amee Rylee,& Reece Rose and Kara,Andy and Audrey Scott
