Holly and I met in Honesdale, PA at Lake Bryn Mawr Camp in the summer of 1969 when we were 12 years old. We were bunk mates and became best of friends while at camp for 3 years. Our friendship wasn’t confined to the summer months at camp. Until we could drive ourselves, we would get our parents to drive the half hour between White Plains and Pomona over the Tappan Zee Bridge to visit each other many times during the school year.
After our years at camp and through high school, we saw each other often. We would reminisce and sing camp songs, but also made new memories together. Holly supported me with thoughtful advice, kindness, compassion and a great sense of humor through boyfriends, parent conflicts and other normal causes of teenage angst. Sadly, since we both left for college and I left the New York area (and eventually moved to Oregon), we never got to see each other again. Our friendship lasted through letters, cards and phone calls for 44 years. Holly never missed sending a birthday or holiday card. She was so sweet, caring and thoughtful, always interested in my life and family. Every time we spoke on the phone, it was as if we had just seen each other.
We last spoke around her birthday in June and I was so impressed by her continuing good humor, strength and positive attitude. By the time we got off the phone I was convinced that she would beat this disease and live forever. Especially after reading about the many people she touched both personally and professionally, I feel that a part of Holly lives on in us all. I will always remember her and try to follow her example of kindness, bravery and optimism. My sincere and deepest condolences to Alan.

Alan: I am sure you will not remember me but I remember Holly (and through her you) from my days working as a "fake" patient as part of the program she headed at the Albany Medical Center hospital. Having moved to Virginia several years ago, I was shocked to read of her passing today. Holly was was one of the most caring and professional person I ever worked for. Although mine was a part-time job, she made us all feel important to a program she felt properly was important. The program played a part in the development of soon-to-be Doctors and she knew her program would provide a very important part in recognizing that good bedside manners, as well as a basic professional competence in case building, would play a very important part in their success. And she developed that belief in all of us who worked for her. I will long remember Holly and the way she was able to relate to all those she came in contact with. As far as I am concerned, during my years at AMC she did not simply head the Program, she was the Program. I feel fortunate to have shared some of that time. Alan, my sincerest sympathy with this loss.

I am still reeling from the stunning news, I heard today, of Holly's illness and recent death. She possessed a vibrant life force, an observant eye, a competence, and heart-felt compassion.
Twenty five years ago, raw after a terrible loss, I had an interview with Holly who accepted me as a Standardized Patient in the Clinical Competency Program at Albany Medical College. I will always be grateful for the opportunity to do meaningful work as I recovered from my loss.
Holly touched many lives, and she made a difference. Alan, I hope knowing that brings you some comfort during this difficult time.
Best, Nan Miller

I am deeply saddened by Holly's passing. She was a wonderful person and beautiful soul. I worked with Holly at Albany Med for 20 years, and I will never forget the first day I met her. We had so much in common being from Downstate. She was one of the kindest, most generous people I have ever known. She was always positive, friendly, upbeat, and she made me laugh with her funny stories. She always talked about her beloved Alan and their years together. I feel privileged to have known and worked with her over the years. You will be missed dear Holly. You made the world a better place. Rest in peace.

I was so saddened to hear about the passing of Holly Fox. Six years ago when my daughter moved to the Albany area, I was concerned because she moved so far away. But after meeting Holly and Alan, those fears disappeared. I knew from the very beginning they were so welcoming to my daughter and son-in-law and that friendship continued on. Holly was the first person to call her when the lights went out to check if everything was okay, always showing a caring, compassionate heart for others. As we mourn the loss of Holly, Heaven is rejoicing at her arrival. May she rest in peace.

I just found out that my dear long time friend passed away. Please accept my sincere condolences. We hadn’t spoken or seen each other in a few years for really no other reason than except life I guess getting in the way. Holly was from the City & always carried a bit of that special ‘swag.’ She was one of wisest ladies I knew. Smart, sharp, with a razor like wit always ready with a snappy retort, Holly was one of a kind. We served together for years on the board of the Health Care Managers Association-and while we all hope to make a difference in healthcare-she really amazingly did. Holly was responsible for taking a pilot program ‘Clinical Competency’ (we always jokingly referred to it as teaching doctors good bedside manner) and creating a national if not international model of, at its core-physician communication. I will miss our brilliant often hysterical breakfast meetings filled with crazy banter and lively intellectual exchange. But I guess Heaven needed a Beautiful City Swag Wise Social Worker to coral, manage, and make a better way on the Other Side. I’m just sorry we didn’t get to have one last cup of coffee together. Farewell dear friend, Holly Fox.

Holly aka Ethel was one of the most AMAZING and kindest people to everyone she came in contact with ! Her smile made you smile. Her laugh was contagious. She loved what she did and went above and beyond in her job as she did with her friends. I am so sad for Allen who she loved so much . They were the perfect fit for each other. The funny stories and they made each other laugh. She was a one of a kind and will be missed by every one she touched. Rest in peace my friend and confidant.

I first met Holly in person on July 10, 2016, when Alan, Holly, their dear friend, Ron and I visited the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome Museum in Rhinebeck, New York for a day outing. Prior to that, I spoke to her in a period of two years when she was with Alan in his JGC (WK2 Jeep Grand Cherokee) or in their home by phone.
On the phone, Holly was a delight to have a conversation with, however, in person, words cannot truly describe the magnitude of her richness to others. She would give me valuable advice regarding my mother’s medical conditions and what outcomes to expect.
Since that day, every couple of months I would meet up with them, somewhere between their place and me coming from Brooklyn, NY. The day would be capped off with dinner at one of their favorite places. Sometimes, we would meet at the U.S.S. Slater in Albany or when they had to be in NYC.
Also, since that day, when I would call Alan and Holly was in the JGC, both of them would be laughing when my selfie appeared with my number. I was wearing an old fashion pilot’s helmet with the goggles and the ear flaps when I took the bi-plane ride after they left for home.
My Dearest Holly, I will be missing those cherish times together in our short friendship. I shall always remember the impression that you made upon me and the warmth emanating from you. Rest in peace my dear friend.

From the first moment we met Holly, her kindness and thoughtfulness were clear. She approached us with her classic beaming smile and reached into our hearts with her friendliness and beautiful personality.
We moved next to Holly and Alan almost 6 years ago and during that time we treasured their friendship. Holly enjoyed coming to see our children play and she was always concerned about us. We exchanged kindnesses both big and small through so many holidays and birthday parties. Holly always made time to visit with us on those beautiful sunny days and cold winter ones.
Dearest Holly, we will miss you for the bright and kind person that you were. You adored our 3 children and they cherished your friendship too. Thank you for being so lovely and caring. You were a wonderful person who will be missed and remembered with utmost joy every single day. May you be at peace.

I was so lucky to get to know Holly these last few years while we worked together at United Health Care - she made every day brighter -she was a tribute to her profession - and she was so much fun,insightful, and always saw the glass as half full- She leaves an unfilllable void
In so many lives -Alan,- she talked about how much she valued your support and knowledge when she got frustrated with "corporate America". - and how much she depended on you -I
Pray that you'd find comfort and consolation in your memories - and Holly - I am making your carrot recipe for Rosh Hashannah

Since the day we met in 7th grade homeroom, we had a bond. The ease between us when we spoke was truly special. We shared the good and bad with trust - secure in the knowledge that our words were safe, we would be supportive and not judgmental, and advice would be given with love. We made a choice long ago to be forever friends.
You are the person who understood or probably started us on using words like "going schloofy" and “Aunt Ruby is visiting".. whom i spoke with on the phone for countless hours, amongst many other things, Mod Squad (sometimes with tears). My bridesmaid. We shared such formative years together — secrets, sleepovers, hebrew school, other friendships that waned over the years. Your friendship was steadfast and something I always treasured. Your countless cards were heartfelt and lovely, and made me feel special.
The world has lost an incredible, kind, compassionate human being… one who has done so much good - touching the lives of so many… teaching, healing, listening. What a wonderful & devoted daughter and wife you have been.
My sadness runs so deep.
I’d like to hope you are reunited with those who have preceded you, Phyll and Bill, Meryl, Buffy, that crazy aunt of yours, my dad who you’d ride up to the lake with, and all the others whose outstretched arms greet you in heaven.
You will forever be in my heart and thoughts, and I will miss you. terribly. Thank you for being my friend for 50 years.
Alan, your devotion and love is so admirable. Few have a marriage like yours. My deepest, heartfelt sympathy. May your memories bring you comfort during this journey.
