FOX, Chas.. W "Charley", D.F.C. & Bar

1920 - 2008


We deeply regret the passing of a great Canadian, war hero, family man and friend.

On Saturday, October 18, 2008, at the age of 88,  Charley Fox, was killed instantly in an automobile accident after leaving a meeting of  The Harvard Aircraft Association near Tillsonburg, Ontario. He had been active in this organization since its inception and had given a talk that morning.

Charley had an illustrious war record, first as an instructor, and later as a Spitfire pilot. He participated  in many colourful events - some  that helped to change history.

In recent years, he was extremely active in promoting veterans groups of all kinds, and in spreading the untold stories of fallen comrades to the youth of today.

He was also well known as an airshow commentator and speaker.

Charley - you  touched a lot of lives and the world is better for you having been in it for a while.

We'll miss you!
