I want to express my condolences to Phyllis and the rest of the Fox family. Phyllis, Ron was one of a kind and Kelly and I enjoyed working with Ron, Jeff and the rest of the crew over the years. Ron built 2 pools for us and we followed you from Keystone, to Carmel then to your farm. If I were to describe Ron, I would say, honest, hardworking, ethical straight shoot who loved golf and his family well. Ron always had a good joke or two along the way what a character. May God Bless you and the entire Fox family with many warm memories of Ron.

Mike and I are sorry to hear of Ron's passing. He is the reason we bought a Fox pool. We had three different people come out to give us estimates, but we liked how Ron handled himself and our questions. We were never disappointed with our dealings with Ron, Phyllis and the crew. We have missed having you all around after your move to Florida. Prayers to you all -Phyllis, Sherri, Wes, Don and the rest of the gang.

We were so sad to hear of the passing of Ron. We have been customers of Fox Pools since 2002. Ron is why I chose Fox Pools for our pool. I was a young, first time mom who had big ideas, and he made me feel so confident in my decision. I still remember walking around my backyard with him as my sweet little girl ran around and we talked. He was so kind. I always loved that Fox Pools was a family run company. From phone calls with Phyllis to service calls with Jeff, there was always kindness that you knew started from a foundation at home. Many prayers for all who know and love Ron. Sincerely, Nicole and Butch Thomas

Ron built our pool for us, after we had started the process with Jeff. I’d spoken with Jeff just days before his passing, and had no idea it would be our last conversation. It was a pleasant one, and we spent time talking about health and life more than the pool, ironically. Ron and I enjoyed many philosophical conversations out on my patio… sometimes lasting more than an hour. He was such a wonderful, faith-filled man who loved people. He’d sometimes talk to my daughter in his Donald Duck voice - which always made her laugh. I am certain he is reunited with Jeff in Heaven. Phyllis, I am praying for you and hope you have lots of support and frequent visitors there in Florida to help lift your spirits. It was truly an honor getting to work with you and your wonderful family.

We have been Pool Customers for years as Ron and the gang put in our dream pool. The entire staff treated us like family as we felt they were part of ours. Some businesses are just business …..but Ron and the family were much more to us. Always pleasant, always friendly and did what they promised. Jeff and Ron tolerated all my stupid questions no matter how stupid they were. We dearly miss Jeff and still expect him to pull into the driveway…. But know Jeff and Ron are now together enjoying each other’s company. Our best to the entire family. Rick and Ginger Schonberg …….Indianapolis

Jeff and I are so sorry to hear this! Ron was such a nice man and so helpful! His personality and knowledge is what sold us on building a pool with Fox Pools. Phyllis, our deepest condolences for both your loss of Ron and Jeff- such great men!

I worked for Ron in the early 80's. He was always very kind to me and brought a smile to my face. Even after I left, I would call him just for a joke, a smile, a laugh. It was an honor to know him. (I vividly remember the Donald Duck!)
My sincere condolences to the family.
