It is with great sadness that the family of William “Bill” A. Fox, announces his passing, on Monday December 16, 2024, at St. Luke's Hospital Anderson Campus, Easton, PA.

He attended Washington High School and went into the National Guard at the age of 17. He worked as a supervisor for American National Can for over 50 years. He enjoyed all wildlife, especially going to Minsi Lake to watch the Bald Eagles, Purple Martins and feeding the ducks.  Bill was known for his remarkable stubbornness, a trait that often defined his character. However, those who had the privilege of knowing him understood that this stubbornness was accompanied by an even greater capacity for kindness and love. He stood firm in his beliefs and values, yet he was always ready to extend a helping hand and offer support to those in need. Bill's unwavering spirit and generous heart left a lasting impact on everyone he encountered. He will be remembered not only for his tenacity but also for the warmth and compassion he shared with family and friends. May his memory live on in the hearts of all who loved him.
