At the age of 14 years, he was interviewed by Miss Mary Moseley at The Nassau Guardian. Miss Moseley wanted to know if he could spell Montagu ? His answer was that there was more than one way to spell it – which one did she want ? He started work the next morning and worked at The Nassau Guardian for 54 years, until he retired at age 67, in 1981.
After the death of his wife, he moved to be with his daughter, Pat Moon, in British Columbia, Canada and lived there until his death.
Cecil Fox was a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather and a caring and charitable gentleman.
