Ed Fox

SIKESTON — Ed Fox putted his last ball and threw his last bowling ball on Saturday, April 6, 2019.

He loved golf, bowling, and most of all his Buckeyes, friends, and family. Ed always had a smile and jokes whenever he would see you. If you golfed with him, you better follow the rules, rake the bunkers, and fill your divots. If you played slow, you better find someone else to play with! He was a great friend to all that knew him and would do anything for you without question. He was famous for his cheese cakes, peanut butter pies, buckeyes, and the coldest beer in town in his 1975 refrigerator that weighed 500 pounds and crownies in the freezer. Also he had one quirk about him: if he came in one door, he had to go leave through that same door. If there would have been a fire, he would have been in trouble.

Edgar Charles Fox, age 66, passed away unexpectedly April 6, 2019 at his home in Sikeston.

He was born July 19, 1952, in Mount Gilead, Ohio, to the late Dwight Phillip and Mary Margaret (Smith) Fox. Ed was a line operator for Unilever and recently retired.

He is survived by one brother, Robert J. Fox of Delaware, Ohio; and three sisters, Cindy Ann Sheets of Delaware, Ohio, Mary Lou Bailey of Ashley, Ohio, and Barbara Allen of Delaware, Ohio.

In addition to his parents, Ed was preceded in death by three brothers, James Phillip Fox, Jerry Lee Fox and Bradley Fox.

Friends and family will gather in memory of Ed on Wednesday, April 10 from 5 to 8 p.m. at Fox Haven Country Club, 1 Country Club Drive, Sikeston.

Ponder Funeral Home in Sikeston is in charge of arrangements.
