Charles Foxe Obituary

Charles Michael Foxe, 77, of Vernon, beloved husband of 56 years to Janet (Norrie) Foxe, left this earth to join in Heaven's band on Jan. 18, 2012, surrounded by his loving family.

His musical talent on the keyboard was well known by his family, friends, and church congregation who frequently enjoyed his concerts. He also played a mean saxophone and belonged to the '50s band "The Rattletones," who played back up to major national talent at the Crystal Lake Ballroom. Their record "Doug's Drag" featured Charlie on a sax solo that is worth a listen on Facebook.

Besides his wife, Charlie will be sadly missed by his eight children and their families, Cindy Underhill, and her husband, Dale, of Ellington, Carol Bigelow, and her husband, Tommy, of Monson, Mass., Lou-Ann Murray, and her husband, Don, of Rio Rancho New Mexico, Michael Foxe, and his wife, Sherry, of Enfield, Billy and Glenn Foxe and Don Clayton of Somers, and Harold Foxe, and his wife, Lee, of Ellington. Also surviving Charlie are his two brothers, George and Vernon Foxe; 21 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren, who all have learned kindness and compassion from Charlie.

A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 28, 2012, at the Congregational Church of Somersville. Burial will be private.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the American Lung Association, 45 Ash St., East Hartford, CT 06108-3272, or to the Congregational Church of Somersville, 22 Maple St., P.O. Box 1, Somersville, CT 06072.

Dear Janet, I second that from Pam. We loved visiting you two. We got more than we gave from the love you poored on us. I also loved the "debates" Charlie and I had. Always walked away with a warm heart. Continued prayer for you and your family. Love, Midge (Hockanum Valley/ Crossroads Community Church)
