Condolences to the Foggs from your Maine family and friends. Blaine lived life large (remember his marathon era?) and was a source of wonderment to us, his young second cousins. We were unaware of the extent of his Legal Services activities  a real-life John Grisham hero who used his immense legal knowledge to help those less fortunate.

To the Family of Fin Fogg:  Please accept my deep condolences on your loss.  Fin was a supporter of mine for which I will always be grateful.  He was a very special person. Liz Holtzman

We are so saddened to hear of your  great loss and to your loving and strong family.

The Class of '62 lost one of its finest members. We will miss him dearly, Jack Kroh

Condolences to the family. Fin was one of those remarkable people who, way back in 1960-62 was a classmate who seemed pretty much just like the rest of us, but who later took off on a remarkable path of growth and maturity and ultimately true service to his fellow human beings. A life well lived.

Diane I am so sorry to learn about your dear Fin. I have wonderful memories of times we were together at Williams. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
  Sent with much love, 
     Ellen Payzant. (For Tom too)

Dear Diane, and three children:
I had the pleasure of seeing you (Diane), Finn, 2 boys, one daughter (Katherine) at family functions. In these moments of sadness you will be comforted by your surroundings. May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Dear Diane

I was crushed to hear of Fin's passing. He always seemed so strong and yet sensitive. I wish I had known him better. My condolences to you and the family.

My deep sympathy to Mr. Fogg's family. I know him only through his amazing son, Matthew. That is testimony enough to his legacy.
God bless and peace.

A fellow Mainer and camper at Medomak Camp, classmate and fraternity brother at Williams, his sense of humor, humbleness and intelligence left their mark on me and all who had the honor of knowing him.

So sorry to learn of FIn's death.  He was a pleasure to work with in the 80s and 90s.  Nora Bailey

Dear Diane, Family and Friends,
We will miss Finn's warmth, humor and intelligence a great deal! He was a special person and it was both a privilege and pleasure to have known him for over 50 years. He leaves a wonderful legacy and he will be remembered for a very long time! Pablo

Old friend, my deepest condolences to your family and all loved ones. Your fellow workers are unanimous in their praise. I shall always remember the twinkle in your eye and your kindness to me at Williams. RIP, Graddy Johnson

Fin was my oldest friend - 70-71 years. I first met him at Medomak Camp when I was 8 or 9.  Then we met again at Williams College - roommates etc.  Again in Cambridge where we roomed together while at separate graduate schools.  Best Man in my wedding. I brought Fin his first outside deal after he joined Skadden Arps - a peanut offering.  Later Fin was there for me during several critical episodes in my life including a deal hanging in the wind after the 9/11 attack.  He stood by me during a protracted lawsuit and trial that we were finally successful in after two years.  I will miss him so much.  Always there for me.  Always quick with the flip remarks, but when it counted he was 100%.  Thankfully he had Diane who was an angel and strong supporter in every way to the end.

Dear Diane, I was deeply saddened to hear that Finn had passed but  I know he waged a fierce battle against the cancer he had. I consider it an extreme privilege that I got to know you and Finn after Williams and he leaves an extraordinary legacy from all he has accomplished in his life. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. With sympathy, Jay and Toshiko Tompkins

Precious in the sight of the Lord are the death of his saints.  (Ps. 116:15)
