John Fox Obituary
Jack Fox passed away peacefully at his home in Thurstaston, Wirral, England, surrounded by his loving family.
He is survived by his wife, Karen Adams Fox of Raleigh, NC and Thurstaston, England; a son, Thomas; daughters, Kathryn and Jackie; eight fabulous grandchildren; a sister, all of whom live in England.
He was born in Liverpool. After serving in the Royal Air Force, Jack joined the firm known today as Kone Lift Corporation, from which he retired in 1997 as Regional Director after 50 years of loyal service. Jack was the consummate gentleman who adored his family, was an avid fan of his "football" team, Liverpool "Reds", and loved to read, walk and travel.
The funeral service will take place on Tuesday, September 9, 2008 in St. Bartholomew's Parish Church, Thurstaston, England with interment at nearby Frankby Cemetery.

Even though Jack was a Brit, he was a true Southern Gentleman in every sense of the word. A witty charmer was he who never met a stranger and enriched the lives of those of us fortunate to know him. He will live long in our memories.
Our prayers and comforting thoughts stretch across the wide ocean to all of his family, especially Karen---always the loving, caring and supportive wife. You are dear to us.
The Nutty Professor joins me in this!
