My thoughts and prayers are with you (the Fox family) at this difficult time. I fondly recall Adam from our high school years. He was very funny and sweet fellow - always such a character! And, although I have not seen him since this time, I can honestly say that it was a pleasure to have known him. He was well loved by all during our high school years! Unforgettable! - I am so very sorry for your loss.

We called each other "AK". This is my childhood friend whom I laughed with and will continue to laugh with in my mind's eye when reminiscing as years go on. Gone, but definitely never forgotten, my friend, Smiling Fox.

Adam was great. Knowing him growing up - there was never a dull moment when you were around him. Although I had not seen him in over 15 years - I have memories of him that I'll never forget - and they are always worth smiling about.

RIP.

Adam, you were an admirable leader at Purolator. You had the most pleasant disposition out of anyone in the warehouse. Mason, Kyle, and I will forever miss you and all the pranks, jokes, stories, and advice we shared. It's an honour having worked with you. Rest in peace, friend.

My thoughts and prayers go to the Fox family, and all who knew him and loved him. I went to school with Adam, and remember him fondly. He was always so nice to me among many who weren't. I too, remember his huge smile and kind heart. May he rest in peace, and I will get to see him again, some day, on the Other Side. God Bless. xo

Sandra,
My deepest sympathy to you and your family. Although I didn't know your brother, by all accounts it sounds like this world lost a wonderful man. My hope is that you all find some comfort in knowing how much he was/is loved and respected.

It still doesn't seem quite real to be writing this about Adam, he was always larger than life. I have known him for a very long time and although did not see him that often anymore he always welcomed me with a huge smile and hug when we did see eachother. The fact that there will be no more chances to bump into eachother is beyond sad. Way to soon.

The smile! I will always remember Adam's smile! It was straight from the heart. He was the first to greet when our paths crossed. "Hi Mr. Clark" and the smile followed right after. No matter how the day had begun, it was now better. I will miss that smile. I will remember Adam as a child of the gods, lost in this world, with a soul worth cherishing.

Adam's heart was as big as his biceps and he always thought of us (Graham's pals) as his other little brothers. From running into him in South Arm Park to wrestling in the Fox's basement, he always made us laugh...he will truly be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time.

My deepest condolences to the Fox family. Although we only had brief contact each day as Adam was starting his shift and mine was ending, Adam, in that few minutes, was able to bring me to the brink of tears of laughter with his outrageous sense of humor and zest for life. It has been over 5 years since I last saw Adam, as I have retired, but there are some people in ones life that you come in contact with that leave a lasting impression, and Adam was one of those people. Such a great guy to be taken so soon. I will always remember you Adam.

My condolances. Words do an injustice in explaining how much I'll miss Adam. He will remain very alive in my memories.

January 11, 2010

Adam had a big heart, willing to help and add some hearty laughs to the task at hand. An unexpected visit from Adam (driving hundreds of miles) when Larry (Papa) was sick showed how caring he was. God knew Adam's heart ! May God be with you Adam's family, friends and Lacy.

Sincere condolences to the Fox family at this time of such a tragic loss.

Adams' physical self is gone, but his legacy lives on, in his beautiful daughter Natasha. She was his heart, she was his soul and he never tired talking about her. His whole demeanor would calm down whenever she was the topic on conversation.

We, who have worked with Adam over the years will remember that big laugh of his most of all, I think. No matter where you were in the warehouse, one only had to hear that laugh to know he was in the building. Though sometimes frustrated at work, he always gave 100% or better, no matter what. He was bigger than life in all ways, and that is how I will remember him.
