John Richard (Rick) Fox
1956-2021
It is with great sadness that
the family of John Richard « Rick » Fox announce his
passing on May 18, 2021, at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Hospital. Born on
March 16, 1956, in Saint John, NB, he was the son of the late Allan
and Ada (Lanyon) Fox and beloved husband to Christa (Knorr)
Fox.
Rick was a very quiet man,
preferring to be an observer, except when he was with his family. He
had a great sense of humor and was always making everyone in the house
laugh. He loved to read and was a huge history buff. He was known to
watch the same movies many, many times and each time one of them was
on he would say « I heard this was a good show » or
« I may have seen this one once or twice before ».
Rick always wanted a big family and his love for them was immense.
Nobody would guess from his gruff exterior that he was a
« girl dad », but he loved every minute of it and
spoiled them all. To quote Rick « Everything I need, is under
this roof ».
He will be greatly missed by
his wife Christa Fox; children Kathryn (Jacob Porter), Madeline
(Connar Scott), Amelia and Olivia Fox; siblings Pam Parsons (Ray),
Bruce (Brenda) and Dave Fox (Karen); sisters-in-law Cathy Smith (Tim)
and Sarah Dechauffour; father and mother-in-law Joanne and Frank
Knorr, as well as several nieces and
nephews.
In addition to his parents,
Rick was predeceased by his son James « Jimmy » Fox
and a brother Frederick « Freddy »
Fox.
A private service will be
held at the Oromocto Funeral Home Chapel. For those who wish, memorial
donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or Diabetes
Canada.
