Arnold Fox Obituary
93, of Louisville, Kentucky, formerly of Pittsburgh, Pa, died peacefully on Monday evening February 8, 2016. He was the youngest of three children and only child born in the USA to Viktor and Bertha Fox, after they emigrated from Russia. Born on June 26, 1922 he spent his early childhood in Pittsburgh before moving to Brooklyn, New York where he remained through his college years. After graduating with a degree in Electrical Engineering from City College of New York, he served as an officer in the US Navy during World War II in the Pacific theater. Having completed his military service, he married Gladys Ullman on June 16, 1946 and returned to Pittsburgh to work for the Pennsylvania Transformer Company (later a Division of McGraw Edison) where he remained as an employee holding various positions in management and international sales and licensing until retirement.
He thrived on converting business acquaintances into life-long friendships as he traveled to many parts of the world, helping to bring electrification to countries with less developed economies. After retirement, he and Gladys relocated to Louisville, where they made new friends and were active members of the Louisville community. Arnold was an avid sports fan and tennis enthusiast, playing in a senior tennis league until the age of 90.
He was a loving father to Sandra (Fox) Herman and husband, Richard of San Diego, David Fox and wife, Susan Bornstein of Louisville, and Victor Fox and wife, Nancy Liu of Weston, Massachusetts. He was proud of his grandchildren, Jessica Herman, Benjamin Fox and Miriam Fox, Lea (Herman) Rackoff and husband David and great-grandchildren Dana and Aaron Rackoff.

Visitation will begin after 1:00 p.m. Expressions of sympathy may be made to The Temple or the Alan and Marilyn Bornstein Fund for Family Therapy at Jewish Family and Career Services.
