Edward Fox Obituary

I hope Uncle Buzzy and my dad (Buzzy´s cousin Ed Keller), who recently passed, are having a grand time together. Maybe they finally figured out who owned the marbles they fought over. Or maybe they still can´t agree. I miss them both.

God Bless Edward L. (Buzzy) Fox

R. Fabre 1979 Alum @ St Patrick HS (Elizabeth NJ)

My condolences to the Fox family. Having worked with Buzzy at Burrys for many years, I know he will be missed by all who knew and loved him.

Dear Fox Family,

Coach was a great patriot,leader of men and a champion. His memory and all he did for his players will never be forgotten. As Coach was passing he stopped by New England to help me lead U-Maine Augusta to the YSCC Conference Championhip. His teachings of the game and life will live through his players forever. I know he will be with us here in PA for the Nationals. Thanks once again Coach.

My condolences to Tommy, Judy, and the rest of the Fox family. Buzzy will be missed, but I hope fond memories of the good times will live on and provide comfort.

My condolences to the entire Fox family. Having gone to St. Gen's with Tommy, I only got to know Buzzy for a short time before leaving Elizabeth. He was a legend to us back then. He accomplished so much. My prayers are with you all.

The halls of St. Patricks High School in the early seventy's were always full with chatter about the basketball team, and Coach Fox. He was a man that was truly respected by both student and team member. He will always be remembered in our hearts and the halls of St. Patrick's.

Dear Fox Family,
Very sorry to see that Buzzy passed away. Our sympathy to you all.

My deepest condolences to The Fox Family. "Buzzy" will be missed by a great number of people who have been touched by his kindness & thoughtfulness. He and Gene Petite could also put on a mean golf tournament @ Burry's!

Buzzy led an incredible life and will be missed by many. I am proud to be one of the many lives he touched

A life well lived! My thoughts and prayers are with the Fox family.

my deepest sympathy to the FOX family from someone who"s known BUZZY almost all my life.sorry,i won't be able to attend the funeral as i am out of town.

St. Pat's has a long and wonderful history full of great men and women but none finer than Buzzy Fox. We were gifted with the presence of a wondrous soul who shared his love of laughter and regaled us with his stories. One who tells stories is said to be a person who enjoys life to its fullest and finds delight in sharing with others. Buzzy was the premier storyteller who found great joy in his family and friends. He was generous to a fault and kind beyound measure. Buzzy was a blessing to all who crossed his path. He encouraged us to stretch, to reach higher, to dream and to grow into solid responsible citizens. Whether we were his peers or the young high school people he 'coached' on and off the court, Buzzy Fox made his mark-- and that mark is firmly planted in the hearts of all of us who were priviledged to know him.

Rest in peace, dear friend.

Dear Fox Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of sorrow. May your memories and knowledge of how many lives Buzzy touched and influenced serve as a source of comfort.
God bless!

http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=58814717326

To The Fox Family,
Please accept my deepest sympathy on the passing of a great husband, father, great grandfather, and superb human being. Buzzy served his country, his community, and St. Pat's with devotion and compassion. I was privledged to officiate many basketball games at St. Pat's and throughout the state wherever St. Pat's was playing. Buzzy was intense and always a true professional. His legacy is the legions of young people he touched and made them whole. Rest in peace Marine. The Lord needs you to help guard the streets leading to the pearly gates.

We'll miss you Uncle Buzz, you will always be in our hearts!
"Now give me a smooch kid".

Please accept my condolences. As a coach, he was a respected foe.

Condolences, in particular, to my old friend, Tom.

My condolences to the family.

We are so very sorry not to be able to attend Buzzy's funeral. I will never forget his great friendship with my dad. Charlie Brown. Buzzy was also a great influence on my coaching career. He was a great friend to so many.
Love and prayers, Hubie and Claire Brown and all the little cookie children of long ago.

With deepest sympathy and condolences.

We met Buzzy during his golden years in our small N.J. beach community. We feel blessed to have known such a true American Heroe.
Sincere condolences to Peg and family.

Our prayers go out to buzzy and his family. Thank you for a wonderful legacy which has touched our family in such a caring way. Dave & Laurie Williams & Family

You are in my thoughts and prayers.I have heard a lot of great stories about the great St. Pat's teams,when you and my father were playing.The team is back together,score well.It was a pleasure knowing you.

Thinking of you at this time. Praying for you too.

Our prayers and thoughts are with your family in this time of grief. Buzzy was truly one of the "Burry's Best." He will be greatly missed. He was a great personnel manager, and always wanted to make sure we were not only co-workers but one big happy family. That he did.

He was a wonderful man with a super huge heart who was always giving. My mother (Dorothy Wysocki) took us numerous times to the Basketball games at St. Patricks were Uncle Buzzy was coach. Uncle Buzzy will be dearly missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. Tom Fox, I never met your father, but heard many stories about what he did to help all people he met through out his life. And that i can accumen, because you helped me and my fellow "BOBCATS" @ Biscayne, to become men, fight hard and respect others. Condolences to you and your family.

My Deepest sympathy to the Fox family. I also lived in the Froghollow section of Elizabeth (Geneva St). I remember him from the Catholic Club League. he was with St Gen,s I played a short time with St.A's.

Buzzie was a man's man, an athlete's friend, a tremendous caring guy that we all loved. I had the pleasure of playing American Legion baseball for him back in the 50's, and was with him recently at the Elizabeth, NJ. Athletic Hall of Fame dinner with all the guys. He will be missed, but He gets to celebrate St. Paddys day in Heaven! Wow!

Mr. Fox was my Baseball and Basketball coach at St. Mary's Grammar School. He was definitely a man's man and pointed me in the right direction in life. My sympathy to the family.

I remember Buzzy from my Interbake days. He was always willing to help if needed and had a kind word for everyone. My prayers are with the family. Buzzy will be missed.

I always smile when I think of "Uncle" Buzzy. His kind nature and sense of humor always made an impression on me. He was truly one of the "good guys." I will always remember him giving my dad (Ed Keller) a hard time about a bag of marbles. Wonder whatever happened to them? He will be missed.

Condolences to the family Elizabeth
New Jersey has lost one of its best.

I had the pleasure of playing both basketball&baseball while in St.Mary's Grammer School,Mr.Fox was a great teacher and a great man.I offer my sincere condolences.
