I would like to say to the Fox and Baldwin Families the following: I sincerely miss Jim Fox senior , he was a great friend and mentor to me over the years at MCN . I love his sense of humor and his quick wit . He was definitely a character who knew how to break chops all the time . He did it with a kind heart and a sense of humor. He was also a great story teller . I know how much you all must miss him and his darling wife . I still think of him often , because to me he was like family. He was a wonderful man , father and friend , That was Jim Fox Sr.

To my cousins,
We are so sorry for your loss. It has been a tough year to say the least. I, too, will miss Uncle Jim and Auntie Ann. I feel as if an era has gone that I cannot replace. I look back with fond memories of your grandparents and of all the good times we have had together. I hope you take comfort in remembering them, too, and in knowing how much your grandparents loved you and each other. In their memory, let's make sure to get together... I can't count all the good memories I have of great parties with you all at their home. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all, and we send you our love.

Dear Poppie,
I'm still having a hard time believing you are gone. I have so many memories of you and the times we've been there for eachother, especially in the last few years. You and Grandy have tought me so much about life and the true meaning of love. You are the most couragous person I've ever known. I hope everyday is a "wedding" up there for you and Grandy. You will forever be in my heart.
All my love,

Dear Fox and Baldwin family members, a sad time for sure but if you can make it a celebration of a good life and a good man. It was a very long time ago I was working with Jim as crane operator, and my end was not going well and calmly Jim told me "to fix the problem not the blame" and every day that thought goes thru my mind. Talk about impacting a life that was so long ago the Arlo was the pride of the fleet, it was an honor to know him and the family members that I know. Death come to us all celebrate his life, enjoy every day.
