Name: Marshall Donnelly Combs Funeral Home
Address: Nashville, TN

Dr. Fox was my dentist and friend for many years until he retired from the practice.  Many fond memories.  He never talked about being a pilot in WWII--impressive to read that.  All my best to the family.

-Ward Archer, Memphis

We will always remember Dr. Fox for his service to our country, dentistry, and  all of mankind. He will be great missed by us all. We have known him for  fifty years.  "He was my first dentist at the age of one years old," says Neil. Our thoughts and prayers to his family. Neil,Dana, Robert, Catherine Johnson Nashville, TN.

What a beautiful and admirable story of Uncle David. How I love him and will miss his wonderful sense of humor. His memoirs truly show what a compassionate and honorable man he was all his life.

David (Buddy), Anne, Howard,

I have very fond memories of the Foxes and the old neighborhood. In particular,I remember the numerous pick up b'ball games in which Big D (aka "The Escalator") was a frequent participant. He was a great person and will be truly missed. God Bless you and your families

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.

David,

Sorry I didn't have the pleasure of knowing the Big 'D' but Annie and I are both very fond of the little "D' and value our long friendship with him. Our prayers are with the family at the loss of their father and loved one but like many are thankful for the remarkable life of this American 
hero. May God bless us all!

David and Elizabeth, 

I'm very sorry to hear of the death of Mr. Fox.  I remember meeting him on a few occasions and recall that he was a kind and dignified gentleman.  I'm very sorry for your loss.  You and your family have had a very challenging last few weeks, and my heart goes out to you during this sad time.  My prayers are with you and your family.  With deepest sympathies,
Carolyn McClain

Dear Anne & Krista,
I'm keeping you in my prayers & thoughts. Its so difficult to lose a father, a grandfather, a friend who's been there always to guide & guard you.  I know you will find comfort in knowing he is ever with you through the Heavenly Father.  With my deepest sympathy and love, Joni
