Hello everybody. I've written this message several times then deleted it each time trying to find the right words.....trying to wrap my head around it.....trying to hold back my emotions. I simply can't do it, so I pass on the words from his wife. "I am not sure that I am posting this in the right place but wanted to updade you that Fox passed away yesterday. He had a very difficult time and was very restless the last few hours of his life. I promissed that I would make sure his passing was comfortable and admnistered evrything I had to maintain his comfort. He is at peace now. Thank you all for your support." His wife Jan |

a huge loss
When I was first diagnosed and read all the old posts, his words of wisdom were a blessing. If karma multiplies like money, then Fox is the wealthiest man ever. Pizza and beer in his honor.
Thank you, stub, for letting us know.

A large loss
First I would like to say to Fox's family I am so sorry for your loss. Personally, Fox calmed me down when I first was diagnosed. He scolded my vanity for worrying about the potential scarring and not comprehending the big picture. But, when he advised pizza & beer was in order, it was like a Papal Blessing! Rest easy Fox, you have helped so many.

He's in pain no more. Peace and condolences to his family and friends.

This broke my heart. Unfortunantly, I knew this day would come. He was such a fighter, and had the best advice. He was one of the first to give me advice and reassurance. I'm relieved he is no longer in pain. Thank you Fox for being apart of my journey.

I talked to him on Fri the 8th.
We had a great visit, but his body was not being kind to him. I am so glad I called when I did, and evev got him a "keep on" card an hour ago. He knew it was time to go, but his body wouldn't quit-at least for a few more days. We had become long distance friends on this board and off. FLY stood for Fox Loves You....but in this case, FLY my friend, the pain is gone.
Love and Hugs to all who cared for him.
Keep on thinking of his widow. She stil has to take care of her 94 year old mom who has Alzheimer's. When she ate dinner, most of it ended up on the floor for the dog.

So saddened to hear this news. My last message from Fox was taken by the crash here. But I'll keep it tucked safely in my heart.
Thank you so much, Stub. I think we all know just how hard it is for you to have to post this news.
Thanks, Jan, for your story. Now I know what FLY means. I kind of thought it meant to be free at last, which is what Fox is now.
I know he wouldn't want us sad or crying, he would want us to fight on. So, we will.

I had a feeling this was coming - but boy, does it hurt to read it has actually happened. It's a testament to FOX that the passing of a man most of us never met, a man that was, in simple terms, words beind a picture on a board, has left me sitting here with real tears in my eyes. His advice and encouragment to all of us is going to be sorely missed. Talk about fighting the good fight - he did that and brought us all with him. FLY Fox...be at peace and free from pain and worry.

I am so sorry to read this, i knew there was something amiss when he last signed in on February 6th. We lost a great man in every sense of the word! I am so glad he is at peace. We will miss you greatly, our dear Foxy! The last 7 years of knowing you were the best years! Until we see you again, on earth, healthy and in good spirits, (John 5:28,29) may your family find the comfort they need, knowing you are not suffering any longer. For the rest of us, let's remember how strong Fox was in every sense of the word! He said not to stress or worry because that will not add to our life, and we can't get that time back. Let's fight like warriors and do all that is possibe to beat this plague! Stay strong and conquer! I believe his positive, fighting, encouraging spirit and attitude, kept him with us for a long time and kept him going. Hugs to each and every one on this board! Beer, a song on the guitar, pizza and a ride on a harley in Laurence J. Fox's honor! You will be missed! Angec

Bad Week!
As I read this I am dealing also with the passing of my eldest brother (on Monday). Though he did not die from cancer he had a difficult time the last couple of years. Fox was such an inspiration to many of us. I have referred to the term "Fox Strong" many times since knowing him, and I can truely say I am better for having known him. Rest in peace Fox. Via Con Dios my friend.

I'm so sorry to read this. I'm looking for something poignant to say, but the words aren't coming. Fox inspired me, as I'm sure he did many of us. I hope we can all remember the things we learned from the experiences he shared and the example he set.The best way we can honor his memory is to keep this group vibrant, be there for each other as much as we can, and make sure new members of this community feel welcomed and supported.

Sad Loss
We will all come to an end at some time, but it is still very sad to see such a stalwart of our group finally succumb.
A pioneer in not giving in to cancer, long may his memory linger.

I haven't been on here much, recently, but Fox was always on my mind and in my heart. Part of me held my breath every time I logged on here, and would be relieved if I saw a post from Foxy.
Jan4You - thank you for thinking to message me about this sad news.
Foxy - you will be missed more than you know. You have supported so many of us through the years. I joined 2013 - and Foxy was active as ever. Sadly we have lost so many wonderful CSN friends. These losses are so heartbreaking.
Rest in peace, sweet friend. FLY will forever be in our hearts.

To hear that the great Fox has passed. What an incredible fight from an incredible man. Just that pic will be ingrained in my head for a long long time...a man larger than life. So many things in life are surreal and confusing as hell. I let out a smile and think that 'ol Foxy is pain free and riding high in the great sky. Blessings to all his family

Didn't really know Fox, but it's clear he will be sorely missed here. I suspect there is much we can learn from his experience and approach to dealing with this awful disease.
