Gordon FOX Obituary

DR. GORDON STANLEY FOX Dr. Gordon Fox passed away, peacefully, on Tuesday, January 18, 2022. Gordon was the beloved husband of Estelle, son of the late Phillip Fox and Lillian Gavendo of Toronto and son- in-law of the late Darby and Lillian Strohl of Montreal. Loving father and father-in- law of Joanne Fox and Evan Kirsh, and Mitchell and Jodie Fox. Devoted grandfather of Julia, Adam, Matthew and Charlie. Gordon grew up in Toronto and moved to Montreal after earning his medical degree from the University of Toronto. He met his wife, Estelle, during his residency at the Jewish General Hospital. Gordon began a distinguished medical career as an Anesthesiologist at both the Jewish Generaland Royal Victoria Hospitals in Montreal. Ultimately, Gordon returned to his hometown to finish his medical career as the Deputy Chief of Anesthesiology at Mount Sinai Hospital. This allowed Gordon to be closer to his children and grandchildren with whom he enjoyed spending time. It also allowed him to spend time with his extended Toronto family whom he was very close to. We would like to thank his devoted caregiver Susan as well as the staff at Bridgepoint Hospital for the excellent care that he received. A family graveside service will be held on Thursday, January 20, 2022. Memorial donations may be made to Parkinson Canada: http://www.parkinson.ca/ or 800-565-3000

Dear Mrs. Fox. I am so sad to hear this news. Dr. Fox (I could never call him Gordie lol) was a kind man, excellent physician, and amazing mentor to me back in the old RVH days. My thoughts are with you and the family at this difficult time. Take good care.

Hello Estelle. Heartfelt condolences to you, your children & grandchildren. Many years retired & now in Winnipeg, I still hold fresh & very fond memories of socializing with (very bright & always interesting!) you and having Gordon as my boss. Indeed my best boss ever! for the 10 Happy years he served as Deputy Chief at Mount Sinai. Calm, warm, funny, gracious and supportive. He did a superb job of recruiting/hiring & regrowing a very impressive academic Dept. that had been battered & depleted by various forces in the immediately preceding years. He was a modest man, but at Mount Sinai he had very much to be proud of. Warmest Regards to you and your family, Mary Ellen Cooke
