EDWARD A. FOX

I met Ed and his lovely wife, Pat, in graduate school at Washington State. We were both students in the same lab there. Ed and I shared our ups and downs and we became great friends. I am certain that Ed brought joy to many people throughout his life. He was simply that kind of human being.

I am so shocked to hear only this week that Ed has passed. I left Dana Farber where I collaborated with him briefly earlier last year. When I asked advise on a gene expression project he invited me in his office (filled with family pics) and so impressed me with his immense kindness, generosity, and his helpful and passionate sharing of scientific knowledge. He also shared his pride of the scientists that worked with him. What a great loss of an exceptional man. Unbelievable..so sorry for...

I had the priviledge to work with Ed for several years, and to call him a colleague and friend. He was a wonderful, warm, generous person and a great teacher. He is greatly missed.
My heartfelt sympathy to Pat, Eliza and Ben. May gentle memories bring your heart comfort and peace.

In every way, Ed was a generous colleague and scientist - it was a true privilege to work with him. While I am struggling to understand why the good die young, I am buoyed by thinking of his warm spirit and how seamlessly he shared his love of his work and family in all our interactions. You could not help but want to do well by him because of how well he did by all others. My heartfelt condolences to his family and dear friends.

May your fond memories of him continue to bring your comfort. During this difficult time remember, "Draw close to God and He will draw close to you".

Unfortunately I lost track of Ed in college.The last time I tried to locate him, his parents showed me a beautiful picture of his little girl. Although , we never reconnected he has always left me with a loving spirit,as I am sure he did to so many. I would love to hear at some point how his path in life went, since I last saw him @ SUNY@ Brockport. I heard that his wife was from Rhode Island. Love & prayers to all

Ed was totally unique in my experience--thoroughly dedicated to helping others and making the DFCI a better place. His contributions forwarded cancer research. He will be greatly missed by his colleagues and his family.

It is with great sadness that I learned of the passing of "Eddie Boy" Fox, as my brother called him for more than 50 years. To all those who loved him, including my brother Glenn Tobe, I hope that we will all find comfort in the great life that we know Ed led and the many loving memories that will live on in all who knew him.

Ed was a wonderful person. He was a great colleague, always ready to help. I still remember being stranded with him in San Diego at a conference on 9/11. We reflected on the important things in life, he adored his family and he will be greatly missed.
