Timothy J Fox

Age 77, of Penn Hills, passed away Friday, April 19, 2024 after battling several health issues. Tim was born November 5, 1946 to Harry and Olga Fox. He is preceded in death by his brothers Harry and Dennis. He is survived by his son David, grandson Levi Fox, sister Marjorie Cerra, nephews Jimmy and John (Katie), great nephew Matthew Cerra, long time cherished "significant other" of over 30 years Diane Smith, grandchildren Valerie and Tony Franciscus, and many cousins and friends.

Tim graduated Penn Hills High School then joined the US Air Force. He worked as an aircraft electrician during the Vietnam War and retired as Master Sergeant Timothy J. Fox after a proud distinguished military career of 21 years.

Tim had several jobs after his military retirement, one of which was for ITT, a job he loved. He worked at the Top of the World in Thule Greenland for four years and then started his career at US Postal Service as a mail carrier and retired after 24 years as Safety Manager Western Pennsylvania District. Tim always said his job was "to keep your boss's ass out of trouble" and he did that every day of his dedicated postal career.

Tim loved the Steelers and was a season ticket holder for many years. He also loved both watching and playing golf. He looked forward to Thursday afternoons when he would join his counterparts from the Pittsburgh Bulk Mail Center for a round.

Tim was a devoted son, father, grandfather, brother, and companion and was incredibly generous to those around him. He will be remembered for his famous saying that he was "Strong like bull" and "Hugs and kisses" when leaving events.
