Rick A. Fox, 54, passed away unexpectedly on January 21, 2015. He was born on September 23, 1960 in Oregon, Ohio to Richard and Flora (Smith). Rick was a 1978 graduate of Waite High School and went on to be a Boilermaker with Local 85, where he took great pride in working for the past 35 years. On November 28, 1980 he married the love of his life, LuAnn and never hesitated to tell people that they had been married for 34 years. Rick was extremely proud of his children and their accomplishments. His grandchildren were the light of his life and brought out his inner child. He never turned down the call of "Chase me Papa Rick!" He was a respected co-worker who was known as "Rippin Rick" by those who worked along side him.
