Harvey Stanley Fox, born September 20, 1941 to Morris Fox of Iron Mountain, Michigan and Marion Berzansky Fox of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, died July 10, 2015 at Aspirus Hospital, Wausau. Harvey is survived by his wife of 27 years, Irene Melonas, and four children to whom he was a beloved father: George Grammas (Carolynn), Annapolis, Maryland, Dean Grammas (Misty), Hudson, Wisconsin, Sarah Brock (Chris Gerboth), Wausau, Wisconsin, and Rebecca Macholl (Jerrad), Catawba, Wisconsin. He is also survived by seven grandchildren: Eleanor, Sebastian, Hunter, and Nick Grammas, Madelyn and Jackson Macholl, and Audrianna Harley Macholl, born July 12, 2015. In addition to his human family, Harvey leaves behind five rescue animals, two dogs and three cats: Rosie, Biddy, Lacey, Zoe, and Cuddles, and we know that he is joined over the rainbow bridge for four more: Andy, Wusha, Charlie, and Molly.
Harvey graduated with a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He taught at UW-Waukesha for many years, and for 15 years at UW-Marathon County. He retired in 2010. Harvey was a passionate educator and more than a bit of an undefined equation, who touched the lives of thousands of students with his humor and love of mathematics. He had a passion for books and collected and read over 2000 on various topics which kept his mind active and engaged when he was no longer able to spend his days with his students.
