Stan­ley L. Fox

Stan­ley L. Fox, 87, Galena, went to be with his Lord and Sav­ior on Sep­tem­ber 2, 2012. He was rest­ing com­fort­able on the couch wait­ing for din­ner. Stan was a delight­ful and car­ing man. He had a wry sense of humor and was easy to talk to. He asked lit­tle of oth­ers, but gave much. He had a deep sense of the Lord’s pres­ence and was sought for his Godly wis­dom. He was actively car­ing for his wife and chil­dren up to the day that he died.

He will be remem­bered lov­ingly by his wife, Janet King Fox, to whom he was mar­ried June 16, 1956; by chil­dren Philip (Cheri) Fox of Ada, Michi­gan; Steven (Deb­bie) Fox of Wooster, Ohio; and Beth (John) Foss of Mar­ion, Indi­ana; and by grand­chil­dren Seth (Mandy) Foss, Autumn Fox, Joshua (Sarah) Foss, Daniel Fox, Bethany Fox, Jonathan Fox, Alyssa Foss, Nina Fox, Jen­nifer Fox, Christo­pher Foss, Ben­jamin Fox and Saman­tha Fox.

He fol­lowed his brother, Joseph W. Fox, and sis­ter, Eliz­a­beth (Sam) Jus­tice, to Heaven.

Stan was born June 24, 1925, the son of Fred and Emma Fox. He was a grad­u­ate of Ash­land High School, Ash­land Col­lege and Bowl­ing Green State Uni­ver­sity. He was a World War ll vet­eran. He was a teacher, prin­ci­pal and local super­in­ten­dent of the Berlin Local Schools in Erie County. He then worked for 26 years for the Ohio Depart­ment of Edu­ca­tion as a Super­vi­sor and Assis­tant Direc­tor of Ele­men­tary and Sec­ondary Edu­ca­tion. Con­cur­rently, he served as the State Direc­tor for the North Cen­tral Asso­ci­a­tion of Col­leges and Schools.

A res­i­dent of Galena for 38 years, Mr. Fox served on the vil­lage coun­cil as well as the plan­ning and zon­ing committee.

As a mem­ber and elder of the Grace Brethren Church of Colum­bus, Mr. Fox con­sid­ered the oppor­tu­ni­ties to join with his wife Janet in serv­ing the Lord in the min­istries of the church his high­est and most val­ued privilege.
