On Tuesday, October 20, 2015 our beloved husband, father, grandfather, Roy Fox passed away peacefully with family at his side.
He leaves behind to cherish his memories, his wife of 53 years, Arlene; his son Darrell (Trish) Fox of Calgary and daughter Tracy (Ken) Kuehnemuth of Edmonton as well as his precious grandchildren: Daniel, Georgina and Rachel Fox and Jessica and Kelsey Kuehnemuth. He also leaves behind his mother-in-law Eva Marko, sisters-in-law Marie Fox, Madeline (Willis) Morrison, Francis (Walter) Moneta, Marianne Ritter, and brother-in-law Lawrence Tomkow, as well as several nieces, nephews and cousins.

Dear Arlene, Darrell, Tracy, and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Roy was always such a cool guy. Darrell's Dad always had the coolest toys, he was the first person with a car phone were talkin the 70's. Just think of all the new toys in-store for him upstairs.

Dear Arlene and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Both you and Roy were delightful neighbours in Lymburn. I will never forget the kindnesses you shared with me especially with winter snow removal. Roy was a very special man who flourished because of the special care from his devoted Arlene. He will be greatly missed. Both Neil and I wish you comfort and peace.

Dear Arlene & family, We are so sorry for your loss. We will always remember what a friendly, congenial person Roy was as our neighbour and friend. The block he lived on will never be the same without Roy in his garage always finding something to do. Our daughter Leah who shares his birthday and knew him for 25 years also wants to express her deep sadness of Roy's passing. She formed a very special friendship with Roy. We pray all your wonderful memories together and the comfort of family and friends will help you through the days ahead. You are a special neighbour also and I hope you will let us know how we can help you out. Many people here are also ready to help you in the crescent. Your neighbours and friends, Judy & Nico (Nick) Visscher.
