Subject: Fwd: Ivan Fox Passes Away
I'm passing on this sad news of the death of a long-time ALSBer. I went to the funeral service yesterday, which I think Ivan would have liked very much. It was filled with interesting people telling colorful stories about Ivan's contributions to the lives of his family, friends and colleagues.

Dear Pace University Community:
It is with great sadness that I inform you of the passing of our esteemed faculty member and colleague, Professor Ivan Fox. Professor Fox ’54 passed away this morning after a very brief and sudden hospitalization.
Beloved Pace University alumnus and faculty member for nearly 49 years, Fox was a significant part of Pace’s history. He taught thousands of Pace students as professor of legal studies and mentored many other Pace faculty members as chair of the Legal Studies and Taxation department for more than 15 years, from 1977 to 1992. He was well regarded in his field as a legal educator and authority in the area of business law and he and his firm were nationally known for preparing candidates for the CPA examination. A student advocate and adviser, he was recognized many times as an outstanding teacher as well as for distinguished service by student organizations such as the National Association of Black Accountants (NABA) and the Student Government Association (SGA), the Stonewall Coalition, among a few.
Fox seized every opportunity to connect with his current students and reconnect with his former students. A familiar face at Pace’s annual alumni reunion in New York City, he also joined Pace alumni on travel weekends in Puerto Rico, Las Vegas, New Orleans, and Miami. A stalwart supporter of his alma mater, Ivan attended Lubin and Mortola lunches, spoke at Seminar Day, and participated in University Fest, as well as numerous other alumni events. Fox will not only be remembered as the author of Pace’s “Alma Mater,” but also as an exceptional educator who remained in the hearts and minds of his students after they left Pace.
Fox was a strong supporter of Pace University and our students, the Lubin School of Business, and its academic programs. Through his thoughtfulness and generosity Ivan established the Ivan Fox Endowed Professorship at Pace University. The family has requested all donations in Fox’s memory be directed to this fund. Please send donations to Pace University, One Pace Plaza, New York, NY 10038, ATTN: Laura Fredricks, Vice President for Philanthropy.
The family also shared the following information about funeral services:
Wednesday, November 22, 10:00 a.m.
Riverside Chapel
21 West Broad Street
Mount Vernon, NY
(914) 664-6800
Our thoughts and sympathies are extended to Ivan’s family, his partner Wayne Smith, and his brother and sister-in-law Dr. Herbert and Dorothy Fox, their children Rabbi Jeffrey Fox and family, Seth Fox and family, and Paul Shrell-Fox. We also acknowledge and share our condolences with Ivan’s colleagues and the many students and alumni.
Sincerely,
Joseph C. Morreale
Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs
