Milford Mace "Mickey" Foxwell M.D. Jr.

Mickey graduated in 1980; I followed him in 1981. I knew him as fellow human being and med student. We played basketball on the garage as much as we could manage. We took pride in being the best , defending our med student honor from pharmacy, PT, nurses, and especially the law punks. He had a great sense of humor and was always a friend who had your back. Although he was incredibly bright he never was arrogant or condescending toward anyone. He always had the right stuff to be a great...

Mickey Foxwell was a great ally for St. Mary's College of Maryland students focused on careers in medicine. He was a great friend and counsel to my service as our premed advisor for more than 20 years. His passing is a great loss to so many. My condolences to his family. He always lit up whenever he spoke about you. He was just so genuine. I am sorry for his passing and for your tremendous loss.

I’m so heartbroken by the passing by my friend and primary care physician Dr. Foxwell. I met Mickey when I first moved to Baltimore in 1988 and became a friend ever since. Mickey was so caring and compassionate that we took hours taking about our lives despite his busy schedule. There was a time when my father, who is asthmatic and lived abroad, needed inhalers, and Mickey was instrumental in helping me secure the inhalers and keep my dad in good health. Mickey attended my wedding in 1995 and...

What people should know the most about him is his fairness. What most people do not realize is that he had a tremendous amount of power being the Dean of Admissions to the medical school. He never allowed anyone to influence his decision as to who would be admitted. He never bowed to pressure from anyone. If your son or daughter did not have the grades and academic brain power then he would never let anyone influence him in the final say about an admission. He kept copious records and files...

Dr. Foxwell's impact on the acceptance and successful matriculation of medical students at UMDSOM is unmatched.

He alone is one of the reasons I decided to attend UMDSOM.

For all the support & mentorship Dr. Foxwell provided me as a medical student at UMDSOM - Thank you. He will be greatly missed.

My deepest condolences to his family, friends, colleagues, and former/current students.

UMDSOM c/o 2012

My heart breaks at hearing of the passing of my mentor, Dr. Mickey Foxwell- Medicine has lost a legend but his legacy is stronger than ever!

My brother David Ambinder and I owe so much gratitude to this great man, Dr. Foxwell... literally our careers.

He opened the doors of the great UMSOM & followed our progress with pure love.

I first met Mickey in 1986 when he interviewed me for admission to UMD School of Medicine. He asked me some very pointed questions, including “why would you come here?” Whew!....years later, when I joined the faculty, he jokingly reminded me that I didn’t attend the school after he admitted me! The man had the most extraordinary memory!

Mickey was a man with deep passion for students, for patients, and for our school. He will be sorely missed.

Wind to thy wings, my...

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