Fox was a Korean War vet in the US Navy where he earned The Purple Heart. While in Milwaukee he met the former Karen Metoxen and they married April 26, 1960 in Illinois.
He spent 30 years with the Teamsters Union where he was on the Executive Board and was the Strike Coordinator when they went to strike; which turned into one of the longest strikes.
Fox really loved telling a good joke or hearing a good joke from anyone. He enjoyed watching the Brewers, baseball games in general, and the Packers games.
His family, though, was his most loved possession he had in life;
they meant everything to him.
