He served his constituents with grace and dignity and certainly set an outstanding example for us around the Council table to follow,” said Mayor Steve Ferguson, in a statement.
The Fox family has announced that a visitation will be held on Tuesday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Wellington Community Centre. The funeral will take place at the Community Centre on Wednesday at 11 a.m.
