Not sure what to say?

I had the privilege of meeting Mr. Fox and family while participating in the Fox International Fellowship program in 2011-2012. It was a life changing opportunity, which gave me a chance to pursuit the dream of having an academic career in Brazil. I will always cherish this period of my life, as all as the sharing of thoughts and experiences with the other fox fellows during that time.

My condolences to the entire Fox Family.

I am sad to hear about the passing of Mr. Joseph Fox. May his kind soul Rest In Peace.

I want to thank the Fox family for making it possible for young scholars from around the globe to travel to Yale and take part in the Fox International Fellowship. Through this fellowship, you've enabled not only scholarly and cultural exchange, but also lifelong friendships. This is a truly honorable mission.

I met Mr. Joseph Fox first time when he invited all the 2016-17 Fox Fellows...

It was an honor and privilege for me to meet Mr. Joseph Fox and his family while I was on the Yale Fox International Fellowship, 2016-17. I found him to be gentle, full of passion and humor (even at the age of 101), generous, very considerate and a man who saw far from the present.

It is sad to hear about his passing. However, I have great hope that the seed he planted will one day bear fruits which will change our world.

I am highly grateful for the opportunity he gave me to...

I knew Joe and Louise when they first moved to Riverdale. When the children came along I babysat Dell and Lee (not Henry. Perhaps I had moved from the area before Henry needed a sitter). My husband, Hubbard Goodrich, and I played bridge with Joe and Louise. They were a wonderful addition to the area. We now live in Harpswell, Maine and I learned late in life that Joe had a place in Maine. I wanted to reconnect with him, but summers are so busy and I never got around to getting in touch. A...

Thank you Alison for alerting me today. My condolences to you and to
Dell, Lee and the family. Joe was one of the most intellectually curious, disciplined, and thirsting for knowledge and experiences. He was a great competitor and early morning swimming off the Claremont Dock into Sommes Sound every August morning before breakfast was de rigueur for Joe and his friend my father. He was a great friend and a loyal one- we shall all miss him and send you our condolences

Joe was a valued neighbor, along with Louise and then Alison, for many years. I admired his enterprising nature and appreciated his kindness.
