I had the privilege of meeting Mr. Fox and family while participating in the Fox International Fellowship program in 2011-2012. It was a life changing opportunity, which gave me a chance to pursuit the dream of having an academic career in Brazil. I will always cherish this period of my life, as all as the sharing of thoughts and experiences with the other fox fellows during that time.

I am sad to hear about the passing of Mr. Joseph Fox. May his kind soul Rest In Peace.
I want to thank the Fox family for making it possible for young scholars from around the globe to travel to Yale and take part in the Fox International Fellowship. Through this fellowship, you've enabled not only scholarly and cultural exchange, but also lifelong friendships. This is a truly honorable mission.
I met Mr. Joseph Fox first time when he invited all the 2016-17 Fox Fellows to a wonderful Thanksgiving lunch with the family. In the age of 101 years, Mr. Jospeh Fox delivered a heartwarming speech, which made a great impression on all of us.
My condolences go out to the entire family, relatives, and friends of Mr. Joseph Fox.

It was an honor and privilege for me to meet Mr. Joseph Fox and his family while I was on the Yale Fox International Fellowship, 2016-17. I found him to be gentle, full of passion and humor (even at the age of 101), generous, very considerate and a man who saw far from the present.
It is sad to hear about his passing. However, I have great hope that the seed he planted will one day bear fruits which will change our world.
I am highly grateful for the opportunity he gave me to study in one of America's most prestigious universities.
May the kind and benevolent soul of Mr. Joseph Carrere Fox rest in perfect peace.
Sending lots of love and consolation from Ghana to Mrs. Alison Fox, Dell, Lee and the entire family.

I knew Joe and Louise when they first moved to Riverdale. When the children came along I babysat Dell and Lee (not Henry. Perhaps I had moved from the area before Henry needed a sitter). My husband, Hubbard Goodrich, and I played bridge with Joe and Louise. They were a wonderful addition to the area. We now live in Harpswell, Maine and I learned late in life that Joe had a place in Maine. I wanted to reconnect with him, but summers are so busy and I never got around to getting in touch. A true regret.
Our condolences to all the family.

Thank you Alison for alerting me today. My condolences to you and to
Dell, Lee and the family. Joe was one of the most intellectually curious, disciplined, and thirsting for knowledge and experiences. He was a great competitor and early morning swimming off the Claremont Dock into Sommes Sound every August morning before breakfast was de rigueur for Joe and his friend my father. He was a great friend and a loyal one- we shall all miss him and send you our condolences

Joe was a valued neighbor, along with Louise and then Alison, for many years. I admired his enterprising nature and appreciated his kindness.

Dear Fox Family, Your Riverdalian friends send you our condolences. Joe and I were train buddies riding from Riverdale. At the time, Joe was studying Russian and building in his legacy at Yale, with his Fox International Fellows. In the winter he would wear his raccoon coat( and running to the train) and always had 1 very large spoonful of oatmeal in his mouth.What train conversations we had!Joe was always on top of the geopolitical and market trends. We are forever grateful for his and Alison's friendship. He was a remarkable man with a brilliant mind that he generously shared with all. josephine, Peter, Emma and Charlotte Kohlmann

Joe Fox was a wonderful fixture of my childhood in Riverdale, NY. Growing up next door to the fox family was a joy (Henry was, and is, my best friend). And Mr. Fox, for all of his accomplishment, was always a kid at heart. Like the day in 1969 when he played hooky from work to take Henry and me to Baltimore to watch the first-ever Mets World Series Game. I will miss his wry sense of humor, his generosity of spirit, and his gentle nature. Here's to a great man and a great life.

To the Fox Family: My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.
