This is Bill's youngest son, Roland. I am sorry to bring you the sad news of Bill's passing last Saturday, May 24th, after complications arising from a broken hip mid-February. He is survived by Barbara Fox, his loving wife of fifteen years; his brother, John [Ella] Fox; three children, William [Linda] Fox, Mary Jane [Greg] Lawson, and Roland [Carol] Fox; five grandchildren, Becky [Josh] Lopez, Christopher Fox, Jonathan Lawson, Jennifer Lawson, and Ian Fox; and one great-grandchild, Donny Lopez.

His full obituary is available on-line at the South Bend Tribune. The quick details of the Memorial Services on Saturday, May 31st, are as follows:

Memorial services will be held at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, May 31, in First Presbyterian Church, 333 W. Colfax Ave., South Bend, with Rev. David Morrow officiating. A Masonic memorial service will immediately follow. The family will receive friends in the church from noon until the time of services at 1:30 p.m.

Roland Thank you for advising this through the Forum. I had heard the news via the Christian Church. Your father will be missed by many of us on the Island.

To the family of Mr Fox...I knew him and his wife from the island and I will miss seeing him and he always called me A squared, as my name is Abbie Adams. He will be greatly missed by many of us on Beaver Island. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
