Hello,
I extend my sincerest condolences to the family of this really cool guy. I worked with AB when he did infrared survey for CAMCO at Glatfelter Company in Spring Grove, Pa. We would occassionally stop at a local bar after work with a few other coworkers and have a beer or two. AB always kept us smiling or laughing with his never ending parade of jokes. He was truly one heck of a good man and I will truly miss him and his funny personality.
God Bless you all and GOD BLESS AB FOXX !!!

Ellie;
I intended to inscribe the poem
Eternity of Your Love", by Millette Addison, but guest book requirements asks for original work. I hope you look it up.
I remember so well AB's gift of gab and love for the water, and holding dear the simple things. We will all miss him, but especially you. So, remember the good times.....sometimes being close to the things you shared with him, brings us close to them. God's nature has a way to help us reflect and feel as though they are near....giving us comfort. Let the memory of his love guide you through these tough days....We all share in your sorrow.....Doug and Cyndi Barningham

Dear Ellie and Family:
I have always had a deep feeling of kindship with Allen even though we saw little of each other since we both left the "Broad Top". I can still see "Kid Lizard" running the football.
I will miss him dearly.

Didn't know AB as long as most of the members of FCCC but everytime we saw him he was outgoing and welcomed new members. I think he would have appreciated his obituary being directly across the page from a Corvette advertisement.

PLease know our thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time and may you find comfort in your family and friends until we meet AB again.

Dear Ellie & Family, One of my earliest memories of Allen was when his mom made him take Stephen and me to play in the river. The river was across the road from where they lived above the tavern. Allen put us in a shallow area, then he went to the top of the bridge and climbed on to one of the supports. I'll never forget him standing on that high support and watching him dive. I was in awe. I knew then that I was very proud to have him as my cousin. Wonderful memories will keep him always with us.
I put photos in the album. I hope they bring back fond memories.

Uncle Allen, Loved by many & missed by many. Including the young (now old) Dixon niece who grew up with you and a crowd of Foxes and Dixons in our Defiance home, way back when your 'favorite' sister moved in with her four brats! You treated us all like siblings and worse....we love you anyway! I will think of you often, Love "Queenie"

Dear Ellie and Family, and Allen's Siblings,
We are sorry to hear of Allen's passing. I know he put up a good fight. We will not be able to attend his funeral as we are in Florida. God Bless all.

A.B. Fox was an avid member of the Flood City Corvette Club and in the all too short time that he graced our lives, he was loved very much. A.B. was always eager to assist in any club activities and assisted with the annual car shows. A.B. will be greatly missed by his family, friends and the members of this Club.
Also I will miss A.B. as a personal friend, he and Ellie are wonderful people, the likes of which the world needs more.

Love, Your cousin

My sympathy to all who had the pleasure of knowing A B. We would all get together once a year at Raystown Lake and he would say "I wonder what the rich people are doing". I think I speak for all of us who went on these trips when I say my life is a little richer from knowing A B.

To Ellie, God bless you. As you know, Allen was a joyful, kind person. He was always so good and welcoming to all his cousins. I was so glad to see you and him in recent years. I hope you get the support you need during this time. I know he would want the best for you. That is just how he was; always looking out for the other person. As a young boy he always would visit Grandma when the out of town cousins visited. That is why we see him in so many pictures. He persisted in later years in trying to get the family together. He would go to the Defibaugh reunion and Fox reunion. He was dedicated to family.

Please know that we are thinking of you during this most difficult time. AB will always be in our hearts. And wherever we go, when we see a Corvette, we will always "save the wave" for AB.
Our Love and Friendship Forever,
