FOX, Chief Petty Officer 1st Class ROBERT "BOB" E., CDII, MMM
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Robert Fox on the afternoon of June 28, 2015 at the QEII, Infirmary Site, Halifax, NS. Born at The Barony, New Brunswick, Robert was the second child and second son of the late David and Maudie (Davidson) Fox.
Bob joined the Canadian Navy in 1958 and served on numerous ships over his 35 year career, including his service as the last coxswain on the HMCS Assiniboia and first coxswain of the HMCS Halifax.
Bob was a man of strong opinions, but his giving heart was larger than life. He was affectionately known as the “Mayor of Brule Point” and delighted in spending the summers at the family cottage. His pride and joy were his two granddaughters, Victoria and Olivia.
Robert is survived by his best friend and wife, Sandra (Mont); two sons, Scott (Tracey DeAdder), Falmouth, and Trevor, Lower Sackville; treasured granddaughters, Victoria and Olivia Fox; four sisters, Elaine Steeves (Allen), St. John’s, Newfoundland; Jean Shepherd (Stephen), Cochrane, Alberta; Margaret Bawn (Beverley), Miramichi, New Brunswick; and Judith Fox Roy (Kenneth), Blackville, New Brunswick; two brothers, Wendell Fox (Vivian), Lower Sackville; Wayne Fox (Edith), Oromocto Lake, New Brunswick; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Robert was predeceased by his parents; daughter-in-law, Julie (Wellman) Fox.
The family wishes to express their appreciation of the kindness shown to Robert during his stay at the Infirmary.
