David J. Fox

AUBURN - David J. Fox, 73, left this world on February 16, 2021 at his house on Half Acre Road. David was born in Auburn and was the son of the late John and Lilly (Tinti) Fox.

For over 26 years David was employed at Welch Allyn Company of Skaneateles Falls where he served as a corporate facilities manager.

David loved classic cars and fishing. He certainly was a thorough enthusiast of any topic revolving around Walt Disney and the world he created.

Mr. Fox is survived by his loving wife, Rebecca Reisman Fox; his devoted daughter Tamara Walters and her husband John of Auburn; a faithful son Jason and his wife Denise of MA; his wonderful grandchildren: Jason, Colton, Madelyn and Jack; as well as scores and scores of great friends.

As well as his parents, David was predeceased by his first wife Mary Fox.

Services for David will be held on Saturday, Feburary 20, 2021 at 10 a.m. in Holy Family Church. Calling hours are from 4-7 p.m. on Friday, February 19, 2021 in the Cheche Funeral Home, 1778 Clark Street, Auburn. Burial will be in St Joseph's Cemetery.

David lived for the greatest joy of his life, which was spending time with his grandchildren who affectionally knew him as "Papa".

A little story about Dave. We used to travel quite a bit together to the Welch Allyn locations. Dave was always a lot of fun. We worked together every day too. When he retired, and then died too soon, I felt like I never got a chance to say goodbye.
He had a saying on a bad day, "put a fork in me, I´m done".
Well one particularly bad golfing day with my husband, I said the same thing. A little later, I found a ball, picked it up, and saw the letters FOX on it!
I think it was a message from Dave!

I remember Dave's first day at Welch Allyn. He had a warm friendly personality that contributed to the family-like atmosphere of our jobs. Watch carefully in the evening sky as his Vette now has wings...

My thoughts and prayers go out to Dave's family. Dave was one of a kind. I fondly remember growing up with Dave playing sports with our neighborhood buddies and spending countless hours at the Columbian Rope playground. I feel cheated for not continuing our friendship as my family moved out from Auburn to Phoenix, Arizona. RIP in my friend. You may be gone, but you will never be forgotten.

So saddened for all of you to hear this news. I loved having him up to the lake and hearing his stories about boating. I was always curious to see what new watch he´d be wearing when he´d come to visit, they were always so impressive! He will be missed greatly.

I was so sad to hear of your Dad´s passing. I have so many great memories of him and Mary from our Standart Woods days- Saturday night parties and cookouts. The best memories are our yearly couples vacation trips to Lake George. I will never forget and always smile while remembering a tent camping trip. During the night we got soaked from the rain so went to a motel where we cooked hotdogs in the bathroom over a sterno fire while singing Hey Jude.
