Steve Fox

I first met Tony at Garland St. We were quite different, but soon found we had so much in common. Tony was very into sports and I was not. Tony could talk to anyone easily and I could not. Tony had no problem approaching girls and I was petrified. Tony was big and I was not. Tony was very popular and me, not so much. None of this ever mattered to Tony. He always accepted everyone for who they were. He ignored your weaknesses and treasured your strengths, but most of all, he truly valued the friends he had for who they were. He had a unique way of making you feel special and the ability to always bring out the best in you. Soon, I had a whole new group of friends, with Tony being one of the best of them. He was also a favorite of my Mom and Dad as he was always so polite, calling them Mr. and Mrs. Fox, even when they told him he did not have to. He was so respectful as he’d come in an immediately sit down and start talking to them and was always truly engaged in the conversation. I can’t even begin to count the good times we had in Junior High, High School, College, and beyond. We spent a lot of time together through the years until I decided to move out west. Even then, whenever I would return to Maine, Tony would go way out of his way to make sure we got together. I continue to have the fondest of memories and can’t imagine what it would have been like to not have met Tony and not have had him as a friend. Good-bye my friend... To Gail, your family, and the Philippon family: Tony had more friends than anyone I know and that says so much about the type of person he was. He was obviously well raised in a great family and was such a good person. He was truly loved by all of us and I will miss him so, so much and will never forget how positively he impacted my life.
