Hello to the entire Fox family I visited St. Louis in the summers for many years while growing up. Seeing Pudgie and Philip, my aunt and uncle, was always such a treat. Bbq and lots of talks with Philip about our cousin Harvey G. He was always a subject that brought common thoughts to our time together. Fond memories of philip and his wonderful family, best Ira from California.

Dear Fox family,

I'm so sorry to hear about Phill. I just found out today when I went in to Missouri Baptist. He was a great Voulnteer there. He always had a great smile on he's face. He always asked me "How is your day going". I'm a vounteer there. I'm going to miss him being there. The last time that I saw him was before Chirstmass. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time.

I am really going to miss Phil! Not only did I take care of him in the ICU, but he was also a dear friend! I always looked forward to seeing him when I came into work and we would always chat about how he was doing and he would make it a point every day to ask how my mom was doing (she was in the hospital last year for quite some time). MoBap won't be the same without him. Much love and prayers to the entire Fox family!!

Arlene,
I was so sorry to hear of Phil's passing. What a dear, dear man! He made such a difference at Mo Bap...his friendly warmth made uncheck a difference to anyone entering that building. I can still hear "hi babe" as I entered here so often during my brother's illness. My sympathy & love to you & your family.

Dear Arlene and Andrea..I was so sorry to hear about Phillip. I always enjoyed talking to him when I would be at Missouri Baptist visiting my parents. He always had a smile and was so interested in how they were doing.
My mom (Anne Salsman) and Myrtle and her family were a special part of my mom's famly as far back as their childhoods.
Phillip was a real fighter for many years. My thoughts are with you and your family.
