Peter Fox Obituary

Peter Fox

Peter Fox, 64, of Webster Groves, Missouri, formerly of Grayslake, Illinois, passed away on January 28, 2025. Peter was a beloved scientist at Abbvie, a biopharmaceutical company in North Chicago, for more than 15 years. In his role, Peter worked as an application and data scientist to evolve science with data.

Peter will be remembered most for his dry sense of humor and for the incredible impact he had on his friends at AbbVie. He befriended many of his colleagues and they became family to him. He would make people laugh in stressful situations by asking, "are we having fun yet?". Peter was patient, kind, an excellent problem solver, and the ultimate trivia master. He enjoyed being challenged at work and being a mentor for those who were lucky enough to be on his team. He viewed projects as a game he wanted to win - and he always did. Peter's life was unfairly cut short not long after his retirement, and he didn't get to enjoy the many more years he deserved.

Peter was preceded in death by his mother, Greta Ann Palmer Fox; his father, William Fredrick Fox; and his two brothers, William F. Fox and Mark Palmer Fox.

In memory of Peter, give a colleague a helping hand or "learn your new thing for the day". Be like Peter.

Peter, We have had a lifetime of laughs together. Some of my favorite memories as children was staying with you and your family in Brunswick Maine. We had so much fun especially riding your Dad's tandem bicycle all over the town. Remembering all the gerbils you raised and your beloved cats "Eraser Head and Brain"" watching them like a TV. You always had a love of animals especially cats. As grown ups Rene & I always loved your talks over the phone. Christmas Eve, you carried on your Mom's tradition making spaghetti sauce with meatballs. We had some vacations together in NH & Maine with our last together camping at Vacationland Campground in Maine. On every vacation we always had Maine lobsters. I was glad I made it to your home in Webster Groves. You took me around St, Louis with the highlight at the top of the arch. You pointed out lots of land marks and loved looking over the St. Louis Cardinals Busch Stadium. You always had a love of watching a baseball or football game. I attached a couple of photos. One of the last ones I will ever take of you by a sign in Maine on our way to the campground. I can't believe your life was cut short. We will bring you to reunite with your family in Calais Maine. I will always love and miss you.
