Dennis Mark Fox

Dennis Mark Fox, 85, of Charlotte, NC, died on July 25, 2024, after a brief illness. Dennis was born in Brooklyn, NY, to the late Milton and Annette Fox on November 9th, 1938. He grew up in Manhattan Beach and graduated from Poly Prep Country Day School in 1956, followed by Union College in 1960. He completed his education at Northwestern Law, and worked in New York as a lawyer in private practice for the next four decades.

Dennis counted music among his earliest interests and throughout his life he could often be found playing the piano at social gatherings, or alone simply for his own pleasure. He was also an amateur pilot who loved aviation and spent many happy hours taking trips in his single engine plane. He was always interested in psychology and in midlife became a follower of Buddhism and embraced meditation, practices that reflected his love for exploration and contemplation.

He is survived by the children of his first marriage, Diana and Michael, and preceded in death by his beloved wife, Lyla. His life will be honored and remembered in the hearts of those he touched.

The arrangements for Dennis are being handled by Zion Memorial Chapel in Mamaroneck, NY. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in his memory to the Chuang Yen Monastery, in Carmel, NY.
