Vern Fox

April 27, 1944 - April 6, 2020

On Monday, April 6, 2020, at C.E.E. Hospital, Petrolia, George Laverne “Vern” Fox passed away at the age of 75. Beloved husband to Dawn (nee Connelly). Loving father to Darcy (Scott) Stonehouse and Del Fox and proud grandpa to Shaina Fox (Christian Hattinga), Clay Fox, Seth Stonehouse and Tayt Stonehouse. Dear brother to Jack (Barb) Fox and the late Sandra (Cecil) Wilson. Vern rode his scooter up town to go for coffee at Tim Horton’s with the guys. He loved to sit in the backyard on sunny days watching his grandsons cut grass and fix things around the place. His granddaughter helped with groceries. He worked at Twilight Haven and L.M.V.V. for over 30 years. Vern was an accomplished carpenter, renovating the home he and Dawn shared for many years. We remember what a fighter he was with his battle against cancer, heart disease and blindness. We will miss his humour and we send all our love. Cremation has taken place. Due to the current circumstances, a celebration of Vern’s life will take place at a later date. As an expression of sympathy, memorial donations may be made to C.E.E. Hospital Foundation (www.ceehf.ca). Memories and condolences may be shared online at www.needhamjay.com
