I feel as if I have known this angel for he touched me just from watching his YouTube videos. I also feel that he positively touched many lives while he was on this earth. Thank you, Mr. Fox and family

Theres not a man on this earth, dead or alive, that has meant more to my life than Tom Fox. I spent my high school years as a member of his family and he became like a father to me. When I was 17 years old and just out of high school, Tom called me and asked if I wanted a job at his printing business. I had nothing going on and I started working for him as a driver. It was long hours but I stuck it out and Tom rewarded me with promotions. I learned the business from the bottom up and by the time he decided to close his business, I was able to work as a Mac operator at any print shop around. I was 20 years old and able to support myself and put my wife through nursing school. This was 100% because of Tom Fox believing in me. Im sure Lynne put in a few good words for me as well. Tom and Lynne are 2 of the best people Ive ever known and I will always be gratefull for the love they showed me. I spent some time with Tom up in Grass Valley and those were some of the best times in my life. Tom had so much knowledge and wisdom and not a week goes by that I dont use something that I learned from him. Whether its on a computer or a chainsaw, I learned it from Tom. I miss him so much.

Just watched some of Toms videos. He was clearly the kind of man we all want to be. My apologies for the late note, though he was inspirational in many ways which shone through his compassion for others. RIP Tom

I, as many others just recently signing this guest book, found Tom on YouTube as gvloanguy. Though his passing was a year ago, I would still like to offer the family and friends my sincere condolences. I've lost my Mom to lung cancer, so I can understand how painful it must've been to watch the inevitable even when it seemed that things were looking positive. From my family to yours, many many hugs.

Dear Jenn and family,
I have obviously not been around for a while. I just found out about Tom's passing. I am so sorry for your loss. Having lost my own Father at a young age too, I know what you're going through. I send you peace, light and love. May he RIP. I will sure miss him...

I discovered Tom's YouTube channel tonight and spent the last 5 hours going through his Journey with Cancer videos. I know I've never interacted with him, but I feel I know what a truly strong and courageous person he was. In some small way, I feel I know him and yet missed out on knowing him outside of his struggle with cancer.
I'm so very sorry for your loss.

So sorry for your loss, family of Tom Fox! I hadn't checked in on YouTube in quite some time so I just now found out about his death. He has inspired me to look for natural remedies for my own ailments and has given me a lot of courage to face hard things. Thank you God for sending this man of light to all of us.

Just saw Tom's videos on YouTube today for the first time. I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my niece to Melanoma after a 13 year battle with it. His sharing of his journey is most courageous! My niece was an advocate for educating others on Melanoma as well. My prayers are with your family.

Dear Jen and Family- Thank you for your video Jen. It really made a difference for me knowing GVloanguy was named Tom Fox. Your dad was a terrific guy. To let strangers into his life and share his struggles and triumphs over his cancer was touching. My prayers for Tom, and for you and your family. I am truly sorry for you loss.

I did not know Thomas until this afternoon when I happened across an early video of his battle with cancer. His camera presence and warm delivery compelled me to search out and watch later posting, including his last. I am saddened for your loss. The gentleman whose videos I watched seemed a gentle and caring soul who recognized the value in sharing his journey. I applaud the courage of both Thomas and his family during the battle and wish the family a softer path during the months ahead.

His posts on youtube brought great encouragement to many and he will be missed by those whose life he touched. May his grandchildren become great physicians or use his death as inspiration to move forward with humanitarian efforts Tom would have been so proud of. Whatever you do Jennifer, he will smile on your face like the sunshine he adored. Do not be sad. Prayer is there for you to remember that God has your back. Much love>>Glenda.

I am incredibly saddened that Tom - better known to me as GVloanguy - lost his battle with cancer. The way he bravely attacked his illness, shared his journey and kept such an up-beat attitude despite such a protracted, painful battle was such an inspiration.
It was an honor, sir, knowing you even just a little bit. I pray your family finds grace and strength and that you find the peace and relief you so deserved.

I did not know him personally but I watched his videos and came to like him very much for his openness and kindness and perseverance. My thoughts are with his family and friends. I feel lucky to have come across such a fine person in such a random way.

He was a wonderful man. I am late in writing this, but better late than never. His story inspires us all to fight the good fight and remember how to love and be humble no matter what.

I started watching Tom a very long time ago and knew this day was coming by August, and so I couldn't bear to check out the YouTube since then. Thank you for posting his departure. I loved watching him and checked on him every week. I was using the black salve also at the same time. He will be missed and still is. He came across as a wonderful family man. He fought hard and lots of us are too. We fought with him.
Please know Tom touched many of us, we grew fond of him.
The best to all of you ~ Janice, Oregon.

I watched your videos online. Something powerful about you that I had to watch every single video you posted. It broke my heart when I saw your daughter's video. I truly believe that powerful trait is being completely genuine. It's powerful because it is just so rare. Rest in peace amongst the angels.

So sorry for your loss. I have followed your father's you tube videos and like others, was hoping and praying for him. My husband had malignant melanoma in 2009 and was fortunate to have it caught soon enough. I also have fought cancer and for now am in remission. Your Dad's videos were greatly inspirational. Thank you for posting your final message as I have been thinking of your Dad and wondering how he was doing. I hope that somehow knowing how much he helped others by sharing his experience, you are somehow comforted. All my condolences.

Hello - please accept my condolences to all of Gvloanguy's family. I followed his videos on you tube and just found out today that sadly he had passed away. After loosing my own father to lung cancer in 2012 I came across his video posts while researching black salve on the internet and followed his progress at regular intervals. I found the testimonies that he gave regarding the alternative treatments that he was undertaking very informative and I am sure that they have helped and will go on helping a lot of people who are battling with cancer for years to come. This showed what a brave and generous soul he was and I think he really connected with people who watched the videos. I personally got a lot from each of his updates. They always made me feel hopeful and inspired me a great deal. I am very sorry for your loss.

So sorry to hear that Tom lost his battle with cancer but not without one heck of a fight. I enjoyed his weekly videos keeping us updated on his progress with the black salve. He talked to youtube like we were family. I appreciate his daughter Jennifer letting us know of his passing and letting his extended youtube family pay respects to him. He will be greatly missed.

To the Fox family, strange as it may seem, I watched his YouTube video last December and today I was not on the topic of Black Salve but the search included his April's upload. Decided to view any new postings and found the final from his daughter. Thank you, thank you for sharing with us-I do not know why but I feel connected and blessed that he shared his journey. My heart is warm and grateful for the love and memories shared by Tom. He is a gift that keeps giving...
November 25, 2013
Hello, Jennifer Mulhern and the rest of Tom Fox's family. I would like to thank you, Jen, for that final video. It was really touching tribute. Your Dad was obviously a person of great courage and many wonderful qualities. I have no doubt that his wonderful character is standing him in good stead, wherever he is. It was wonderful of you, too, to bring us his final message.
Cancer can be a difficult foe to defeat. I thought he was doing well with the Photon Genius as a systemic treatment at one point and rather wondered if it would have helped to do it longer and more intensively. I am not quite sure what else he did, but I am sure he did all he could; I haven't watched all of his videos, although I'm sure they contain valuable insights.
Thank you again,
George Wynns, Loleta, CA

Looking for a treatment for my small skin cancer bought me to gvloanguy or Tom Fox. I was mesmerised by him, he seemed so kind and gentle. when watching the last video he made my heart sank and ached for his family and friends. The world seems so small sometimes, we can really reach people from different countries and feel a strong connection, its an amazing thing really...Tom Fox, It was a privledge to get to know you....My Mother has just been diagnosed with end stage cancer, will you keep a look out for her Tom when her time comes. God bless your family.

Today my friend had success with black salve; so I was checking it out on YouTube. . . . What a great guy this gvloanguy! I really like him! He's so cool! . . . I kept watching and kept watching, all day, hoping he would be ok. He deserved health, he worked so hard. When I finally saw the video posted by his daughter, I cried. It was like I knew him, he'd had such a powerful effect on me--that's amazing. I really appreciated that she had the strength to sit where he sat, to speak his name, to allow strangers to share in his memory. Clearly, he was a shining light. I sincerely hope all his family and friends continue to see the world as illuminated by Tom Fox. Ella Goddin (Nohoval, Ireland)

Those of us who followed gvloanguy on youtube feel like we know him. We are saddened by his loss to the cancer and encouraged by his fighting it to the end. He will be missed.
November 4, 2013
Never knew Tom Fox until tonite. Started watching one and had to retrieve all the others. Absolutely one of the most gentle, yet thorough and educational message. Pictures were invaluable.
Selfishly of me, I wish he was still making videos to inform. I can only imagine the information he took with him. Thank heavens he imparted some of that intelligence in his videos.
Used that black salve 20 years ago and have never had a recurrence in the same place since.
Peace and happy memories to his family from far away.

Very brave, in his darkest hour facing his own mortality he took the time to try and teach and help others facing cancer. To give alternatives and inform and most of all spread hope for himself and others. I did not know him, but I watched him fight the good fight and admire his courage and faith.

Thanks to you Tom for being brave enough to share your story on youtube, I know it has helped me and others so much to understand a bit more about using black salve and the other non-medical options to improve the body health in these situations. I was greatly saddened to hear of your passing, but it was such a relief too to know that you are with The Lord Jesus Christ!! Amen and Amen!! Since losing my own dad recently, I prayer all the best of God's grace, love and richest blessings and comfort to all of your loving family at this time!!

Dear Fox family,
I only knew Tom as gvloanguy on YouTube. I was so amazed at his strength and resolve to find an alternative cure to the wicked curse of cancer. I always looked for him while I was out hiking the Hammond Trail as I wanted to shake his hand, but never had the pleasure of meeting him.
I know he's now experiencing the ultimate joy of being with Jesus. Well done good and faithful servant Tom.
My prayers are for all of the Fox family. God bless you with peace.

My heart goes out to the entire family for the deep grief of losing a wonderful man. I knew Tom only through watching his youtube channel. His videos gave me much hope. As the past two years I have been dealing with celiac disease and about lost my life to it getting down to 89 pounds. During the last year, many days when I felt down and out, I would enjoy listening to his vidoes. He taught me much about black salve but even more he taught me to never give up! His encourgement kept me going many a days and that I am very thankful for. Without a doubt, Tom is a very special person that touched many lives. I along with many were not only praying for Tom but was cheering for him. He will be greatly missed.

I am so sorry. Your father was so positive, I really felt that he was going to win his battle with this horrible illness. His attitude, gentle voice, and sincere need to share and tell what was going on with him made me want to know how he was doing. He did love the outdoors, and I am so glad when he told us about his wife having him to get outside more. I loved his backyard and the walks he took us all on with him. God bless him and all his family. Rest in peace, gvloanguy.

There is a large community of people who mourn your loss. RIP Tom.

I am genuinely saddened to hear of Tom's death. Although I didn't know him personally, I followed his internet films, which were always insightful and often deep, and his beautiful and gentle spirit always shone through. My thoughts are with the family at this sad time, whom I hope will take some comfort in the knowledge that he is happy and at peace and in the loving arms of God, now.

God took an amazing,much respected,very loved,father husband friend and spirited soul home to the heavens this past week.And although the physical loss of you here on earth will be very hard for loved ones left behind,these same loved ones in mourning gained an astounding Angel that will be by their side in times of saddness.An Angel behind them when they must learn on their own.And an Angel in front of them guiding the way when they feel lost.So try not to just mourn his loss Fox Family,try to celebrate what an honorable man Tom Fox was and is and always will be!!

From day one to his last breath my Grandpa was always there for anyone who needed him. He helped me to become the person I am today and I am thankful for all of the things that he taught me. He never judged, or never let me down. He gave me the best, no matter the circumstances. Through thick and thin my Grandpa did whatever it took to keep my family happy and always provided. Whenever I needed anything from advice to money, he was always there to support me the best he could. I love him & miss him more than words can say. Eventhough he is gone, I am happy to know that my Grandpa & best friend is watching over me. Rest in peace Grandpa Tom! Love you always! Jaya Fox
