Not sure what to say?

You are my friend my My dad And I will miss you very much

Too many memories. Too many reminders.

My sincere condolences to the family of Hugh Fox. My name is Vuong Vu and I am the editor of Caesura magazine. Mr. Fox sent some poems to us, and he and I corresponded briefly over poetry and life. Our correspondence was lovely, such wit and wisdom from him. I was floored when I recently received news of his passing. I am now holding onto two poems he recently wrote and many notes on his life. I would like to know to whom I can return these. If anyone can help me with contact...

My condolences to the whole family. Hugh was my cousin, and we were quite close when we were younger. We stayed in touch thru the years. He always kept ties with family. I will truly miss him. Tho we have not seen each other for quite some years, there were many Emails, phone calls, and cards that went back and forth between us. He was like the brother that I never had to me during our formative years. “Shalom” Hugh, I love you, Judy

What a great loss - my condolence to family and friends. He meant so very much to the small press community.

In memory,
in the moment,
always

Our condolences to Dr. Fox's family. Our brief interactions with him at Big Apple bagel always made us smile.

Oh, I am so sad to hear this news - and too late to attend the memorial service. I have read all the entries here and these remembrances of this wonderfully vibrant human being help bring up some smiles. Hugh was so gregariously kind to me. Bumping into him always made for a better day. I didn't know he was sick, I didn't know I would never see him again around town. He enriched our lives. My thoughts are with you, Maria, and all of Hugh's family. Sending you much love.

Condolences to Hugh's family on his passing. My wife, Kathleen, and I considered Hugh a national treasure. We only knew him personally for a few years, but his writing, even before we met him, touched our lives. His book, "Gods of the Cataclysm," helped and inspired us in our search for the true origins of Western Hemisphere cultures. His later books fascinate as well, as does his poetry. He was a truly brilliant human being who was also very, very generous with praise and support for...

I would like to extend my condolences to Hugh's family. Hugh was a gifted storyteller and a kind human being. He was always upbeat and cheerful, and even when he was dealing with cancer, he always wanted to know how MY day was going.

I published the last story Hugh ever wrote in the June 2011 issue of my magazine, The Horror Zine here:

For The Horror Zine, Hugh wrote unusual, dream-like stories...
