Robert (Bob) Leo Fox, age 77, passed away suddenly after a reoccurrence of a previous illness on Feb 8th, 2019, at Tidewell Hospice in Sarasota/Bradenton, Florida. Bob was born on September 6, 1941 in Toledo, Ohio to parents Henry and Sylvia Fox. He graduated from Waite High School in 1959. Bob was initiated into the Local 85 Boilermakers Union In 1961 and pursued a lifelong, dedicated career as a Boilermaker until his reluctant retirement in 1996 due to health issues. Bob married the love of his life, Jeanne in 1964. After briefly dating in high school, Bob and Jeanne later reconnected to build a lifelong, devoted, marriage of 54 years. A dedicated family man, he was a loving and devoted father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. Bob was an avid bowler, golfer, gardener, handyman, gourmet cook, and grill master. He loved to cook elaborate meals for his family and he took great pride in his flowers and yard that he kept immaculate. He was also a huge fan of the Cleveland Indians, the Cleveland Browns, OSU Wrestling and OSU football teams. He was well respected and admired by many for his tenacity, work ethic, and the perfectionism that was evident in everything that he did. Bob always poured his heart and soul into any task or project, whether it be for work or family. He was a fierce competitor and will always be remembered as a man that never backed down from a challenge. Bob was a fighter even until his last moments on Earth, where he was surrounded by his loving family. His memory will be cherished forever for the wonderful man he was.
