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.
