| HAROLD E. FOX Harold was born in Lathrop, Missouri, February 27, 1915, to Ada and Bessie Fox. He entered into eternal life with his beloved Lord September 9, 1999. After his discharge from the Army Air Corp, he married his wife, Dawn, in Tacoma in 1940. He retired from Pacific N.W. Bell Telephone Company after 40 years.

The lives of people who knew Harold have been touched by his warm, friendly, generous and compassionate personality and his willingness to help anyone in need at any time.
