    …in 1975 while working construction for Dan Schmenhaur (sp) who was a Fireman @ FS90, I met Don Fox who was One of two members on the Department that took me under his wing to prepare for the testing & Drill Tower in 1977, along with Capt. Steve Bascom, I couldn’t thank these two men enough for their Guidance & friendship, I will forever be Grateful to Don Fox for my direction and spending 36yrs on the Department. God Bless you Don, may you be in Peace with our Lord.

    1973 I knocked at the door of Fire Station 90 hoping to get a tour and talk to a Fireman about his daily routine. Mike Kirby and I had just taken the written. Don Fox answered the front door. “Can I help you”. “Yes sir, I have just received my notice for my oral interview and would like to come in for a visit and talk to someone about the fire department”. Two hours later Don had given me a tour and a mock interview. Before leaving he invited me back not once but 3 times, twice with another Fireman helping out. I am grateful Don took the time to help me through the my oral interview. I was lucky enough to work with Don for many years at Fire Station 90. RIP Don aka Blue Fox.

    I used to work Sod every so often at 90’s.
    Don was one of the friendliest firemen I had ver met. Always a smile on his face. R.I.P. Don.

    Went to 90’s in 1971 and worked with Don. As everyone has said he was one of the nicest guys I’d ever met. I’m pretty sure he owned a bicycle shop in Highland Park and I bought a couple of bikes from him. Don was one of the firemen that made 90’s the best and most fun station I worked at. RIP Don and prayers to your family.

    So many wonderful memories of my 16 years at 90s and Don Fox was a big part of it, from firefighting and helitac to the joy of meals together at the Greek theater . Don was a good friend and colleague and Pat and I are saddened at his passing. Rest in peace .

    I worked for Don Fox and his brother Bob and wife Mary at Foxies’ bike shop since 1973. Don was instrumental in helping me get on the LAFD. I looked up to him and in 1981 I was hired. My life was changed ever since. Thank you with love and respect.
