Lewis Morrill Fox, 89, retired from mortality Nov. 18, 2000. Lewis was born Jan. 26, 1911 in Vernal to Charles Patten and Mary Caroline Moore Fox. When the first horseless carriage made its way down Vernal's Main Street, Lewis became infatuated with the transportation age which lasted his entire life. He started his professional career as a surveyor, was a dispatcher, passenger agent, and driver for the Trailways Bus Company. Lewis became a distributor for petroleum products, owner of a service station, and co-owner of a transport trucking company.
In 1938 Lewis married Margaret Cox. Their marriage was solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple. A sports enthusiast, he managed and pitched for local baseball and softball teams and coached church basketball. He and his wife traveled throughout the world with friends and for the past 18 years divided their time between their homes in Phoenix, Ariz. and Salt Lake City.
Lewis is survived by his wife, Margaret; sons, Duane (Marilyn), Robert (Ann), Kraig (Roberta) and Kent (Vicki); sisters, Alta Andreason and Mae Reese; sisters-in-law, Helen Minerva, Velma Cox, Alice Fox; 14 grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren.
His greatest pleasures were making his sweetheart happy, following his sons' activities, and entertaining his grandchildren and supporting their activities.
Funeral services will be held Saturday, Nov. 25 at 11 a.m. in the Garner Funeral Home, 1001 11th Avenue, Salt Lake City. A viewing will be held one hour prior to services.
Interment will be in the Salt Lake City Cemetery.
