Not sure what to say?

The Lone Ranger would not have been the same without his voice. No one could have done it any better.

Thank you for sharing a part of your life with us.

Rest Fred, until you hear at dawn,
the low, clear reveille of God.

Thank you for your service to this nation.

Between 1948 & 1949, I was taken with Rheumatic Fever & was bedridden for 9 mos.
The comfort of Mr. Foys dedicated radio persona made each day that much easier...
As a matter of fact, my Doctor, having children of his own & being aware of the excitement stimulated by Mr Foy's, narration thru-out "The Lone Ranger Program suggested complete bed rest for the first month..... did I obey,.. NAH!! I did not miss 1 single episode of The Ranger or Sgt Preston.. Thank you Freddie

I continue to think of Mr. Fred Foy every time I get behind a microphone. I think of the many students who came through my video technology and broadcast journalism classes who benefited from his lessons, whether they spoke to him in a phone interview or heard him speak to them on videotape. I was honored to have met and worked with him for a brief time.

To a dear friend I never met who has given great memories of my childhood. To the Foy family my deepest sympathy.

God Bless Fred and his family. "Hi Yo Silver"

Mr. Foy was truly a gleaming gem from the "golden age of radio".

What fond memories, growing up as a child. May God's comforting words help you all endure. John 5:28,29.

Like many others I grew up a fan of the Lone Ranger. Hopefully his wife and family cam be consoled by the fond memories of Mr. Foy shared by so many all over the world.
