STRONTIAN has lost one of the area’s best-loved characters, George Fox, who died on Friday January 6, aged 78.
Born and bred in Edinburgh, George spent almost five decades in the Sunart area and was the epitome of a true Highland gentleman. Thoughtful and generous with his time and input to so many aspects of village life, George was a friend to young and old alike. His easy wit and natural charm were matched by his kindness and genuine interest in the people he met and spoke to.
Nothing was ever too much trouble for George and he met all challenges with enthusiasm and good humour – particularly over the past few years when his own health was failing.
