Bryan Scott Fox

Bryan S Fox was diagnosed four weeks ago with terminal cancer. He handled the news well, never showed any fear, but worried most about his family. His wish was to come home and spend his final days surrounded by his family. Bryan died peacefully at home on Friday February 26, 2016.
Bryan was born in Lowell, Ma on March 8, 1948 son of the late Gerald Fox and Doris Dobson. He is survived by his wife Greta Fox, whom he shared 48 years of marriage; three children Jamie Fox, Heidi Moore and her husband Larry, and Kelly Fox; four grandchildren Mason and Lexi Moore, Stella Fox and Emma Fox; two siblings Donna Mason and Carla Brandon of St Simonds Island Georgia; and his two English labs Brody and Colton.
Bryan's family meant the world to him, never missing any event important to them. He enjoyed rides along the Maine Coast with his wife, Greta. They would often leave in the morning with no agenda and find neat little places to eat. When his children were growing up, he was always at his son's concerts and his two daughters' sporting events. Bryan was active in the city, coaching many city softball and basketball teams. As his children grew older, he was most proud of the adults they became as they started lives with their own families. His grandchildren were his pride and joy. He attended cheer competition, recitals and sporting events and always had a big hug for each of them.
Basketball was Bryan's favorite sport. He enjoyed coaching with his daughter and loved watching basketball on television. Whether at a game or watching one on TV, he always had suggestions on a play or would dispute a call. Bryan's biggest fan was UCONN's Breanna Stewart. He referred to her as "his girl Stewie." Although he did not get to meet her in person, he was able to hear her voice on Friday morning, hours before his death.
Bryan was a well-known carpenter in the Nashua area. His finished work was one of a kind, as he never bought anything premade. His specialty was moldings, as he crafted everything with his own hands. He built many houses in Bedford, each with their unique style. He loved having his own business as he could work at his own pace. He never took credit for his finished work always saying, "Yeah it's not bad, huh."
Lone Pine Hunting Club was Bryan's second home. He loved all the members of the club and enjoyed the pellet league with his grandson and the archery league with his granddaughter. Bryan ran the fishing derby every year and loved watching all the kids. His favorite part was handing out prizes to each participant. His love for his club was evident as when the board heard the news of his recent illness, they named the new gun range after him. He was shocked with the news and said, "I don't deserve this."
Bryan was a soft spoken, humble man. He never wanted to be in the lime light. Bryan touched the lives of everyone he met. His biggest flaw was being too kind and not knowing how to say, "No." He loved the outdoors and was an avid fisherman and hunter. Bryan will be greatly missed.
As his granddaughter Lexi said in a Facebook post last week, "Today at around noon, I lost the most amazing grandfather from a short time of cancer. He was the best grandfather, coach, water boy, and friend in the entire universe. He lived a happy life. He was funny, happy and had a love for basketball, and shooting. He did everything with my family. I will always love him. RIP Pep I love you no matter what."
