Obituary
Ronald (Ron) Fox died Tuesday,
December 4, 2018 at the age of 81. Although Ron
passed away in Dayton, OH, his heart was always in
Lincoln.
Ron was born on April 14, 1937 in Beason, to the
late Harold and Vernadine Fox. He is survived by his
wife of 59 years, Marilyn, son Brian Fox (Todd
Fassero), daughter Susanne Burritt (Bob),
granddaughters Tatum and Alyssa, sister Wanda
Southern (Jack), nieces Robin & Kristina and nephew,
Rod.
Ron earned a degree in civil engineering in 1959
from Bradley University where he met Marilyn.
Shortly after graduation, they married and bought
their first and only home in Lincoln.
Following in his father's
footsteps, he spent his entire working career with
the Logan County Highway Department, retiring from
his position of County Engineer on April 28, 1999.
He also spent many Saturdays with his friend, Pete
Frantz, on their business, Logan County Land
Surveying and Engineering, sharing donuts and coffee
while doing surveys all around the county.

Commission, Illinois Association of County Engineers, Lincoln Rotary
Club, Lincoln Elks Club, and Lincoln Masonic Lodge. He could
often be found on the golf course or tennis court, both in Lincoln
and at their winter home in Sun City AZ.

friends and he will be greatly missed.
