Dale Edward Fox passed away at home peacefully on Sunday afternoon October 14th, 2018. His family and friends will always remember his bright smile, his wit, his intellect and how he would often see the world through his own lens offering a different perspective to the rest of us. He was quick, smart and with a mischievous twinkle in his eye that we will never forget.
But most of all, we will remember Dale as an athlete, either playing tennis and golf or watching a sport on TV. He won the Club Championship in both tennis and golf in 1984 at the Gaston Country Club. And he loved going to the games and watching the Panthers play.
Dale graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill in 1967 with a degree in accounting. He was a proud member of Pi Lamba Phi fraternity and remained a loyal Tar Heel fan. Dale became a Certified Public Accountant in 1968. After working for several accounting companies, Dale and his wife Lyn opened their own firm in Gastonia.
Dale will be dearly missed by all you knew and loved him.
Dale was preceded in death by his parents Vera (Simon) and Julius Maurice Fox and a brother Melvyn Fox.
Left to cherish his memory and to continue his legacy are his wife of 50 year – Lyn (Outwater) Fox and a son James Kent Mosley and wife Katie. Also surviving Dale are his niece Dr. Nicole Fox of Boise, ID and a nephew Andrew Fox and wife Sasha of New Rochelle, NY. Dale’s great nieces and nephews are Jack Fox, Sam Fox, Allie Fox, Mason Lam and Miranda Lam. Dale also had a host of additional extended family members who will miss him greatly.
The funeral service for Dale will be at 2:00 P.M. on Wednesday October 17, 2018 at Temple Emanuel, 320 South Street Gastonia. Burial will follow the funeral service at Gaston Memorial Park in Gastonia.
