EUGENE FOX

Mr. Fox was my science teacher at GLRHS in the early 90's. He made the class fun and enjoyable for us that did not have interest in science. I had the pleasure to speaking with him on several occasions outside of school years later, and he was still that same quirky yet fun guy I remembered from HS. Out of all of my teachers through the years, Mr. Fox is one that I can say left a good impression on me. My thoughts and prayers to his family, RIP Mr. Fox.

He was my teacher and friend back at GLRHS in the mid 70s. I loved his quirkiness and brilliance. He was a great supporter of the Highlander Band. He embraced students whole heartedly. And at a time when girls weren’t exactly encouraged to go into Science, he did the opposite. I would end up in the USCG with a degree in Marine Science in large part because of Mr Fox. I always hoped I would get the chance to thank him for all he did for me. To his family- please accept my condolences on...

I just found this cruising Facebook. I graduated GL in 1969 only knowing Mr Fox as 'the other chemistry teacher.' Returned in '93 or '94 for a step son's back to school night. Discovered Gene Fox as a smart contemporary interested in recycling and passionate about learning. He retired with so much more to learn and teach: a mentor to many.

I am so sad to hear of Gene's passing. He was a special man, unique, so smart. He was a real treasure. Wonderful to work with. Very giving. My condolences to his family and friends. Diane K

I will never forget traveling with Gene to a water monitoring station in a nearby town where he volunteered. He was very attuned to the area and its wildlife. Rest easy, Gene... you did a great job and people admired you!

Mr. Fox was my biology teacher at GL and he got me started down the path of a biologist. I majored in biology in college and went to veterinary school. Thank you Mr. Fox. Rest well. My deepest condolences to your family. A life well lived!

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Extending my condolences to Mr Fox's family. While I never had Mr Fox as my teacher while at GL, I did have a locker next to his classroom door for four years. He always stepped out of his classroom to day hello each morning. He taught me a lot about the importance of a friendly greeting and taking the time to check in. He was very kind.
