My condolences to the family. I will always remember how well the whole Fox family treated Wilbert, Kenneth and me when we came to visit them and Herc was full of jokes and always talking about sports. RIP my friend until we meet again.

I was heartbroken to learn of your husband's passing. His introduction of my children to Battery Park T-ball was a pivotal moment, cultivating their love for sports and enabling them to thrive as student athletes. May God provide comfort to you, Peggy, your son Steven, and your grandchildren at this time. Please know that I extend my heartfelt condolences and pray that God will protect you eternally through Christ. Love The Taliaferro Family

So grateful to have met and worked with Mr. Fox at Battery Park for many years. He always gave of his time and talents for every sport and the care of our community center. He would drive his little blue pick-up truck to the field with his mower in the back and have the fields beautiful and lined whenever we needed help, then hop right back on the field to coach (smile). So many lives in Richmond's North side were made better because we had a Mr. Fox. Our sincerest condolences to the family.

So sorry to learn of the passing of this loving devoted man. Blessings to Peggy and family.

I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Fox at Pratt Industries. I would tell him Good morning Mr Fox. He would always say "Everyday is a good day Mr. Roger". Always happy and smiling.
