He was also involved with Rotary
and received the Paul Harris
Fellows Award.
Harry’s community service
developed early. He was a
foundation member of Harbord
Diggers Club and Warringah Junior
Rugby Union Club. He believed that
you learned lessons of life
from team sports.
Harry quickly became involved in
Berowra Community from 1959,
joining Berowra RSL SB, Berowra
Cricket Club and Berowra Soccer
Club. He became ‘All Age’ Soccer
Team Manager, Secretary of the
soccer club during its greatest
expansion period. He was also
President, Sect-Mgr, Life Member
and Patron of the Berowra Bowling
Club.
Harry loved the community spirit of
Berowra and gave his time for any
cause to do with children. Harry
respected all and was respected
by all.
Many Berowra residents attended
the service including Sue Murray
and Anita Doherty (neighbours)
who were members with Harry
of the Berowra Mixed Probus Club.
“Dad considered children to be the
hope of tomorrow and therefore
actively supported youth sports
clubs, youth bands etc. He loved
attending local schools to tell
pupils about ANZAC, WW1
and WW2 history,” said Ian.
In 2010 as a result of his active
support for Legacy, Harry was
honoured with the title ‘Friend
of Legacy’.
“Harry did wonderful work for
Legacy.....he was a man for all
seasons,” said Richard Dawes,
Pres Hornsby Legacy.

$1,144.15 was presented
to Legacy by Murray Bolan,
Pres Berowra RSL Club and Bob
Dobson, Pres Berowra RSL SB.
This duty had normally been
carried out by Harry in the past.
“Harry was a life member of the
RSL of Australia and President
of the Berowra RSL SB when
the present club building was
built in 1961. He carried out
his duties with diligence and
dedication,” said Bob Dobson
of Mt Kuring-gai, Pres Berowra
RSL SB.
Harry treated his RSL mates Bill
Foster and Jim Maguire like
brothers. Sadly Bill passed away
shortly afterwards on the night
of Thursday 19 July.
Our local politicians also
attended: Matt Kean our State
MP for Hornsby and Philip
Ruddock our Federal MP for
Berowra attended the funeral.
At the funeral the song recorded
by Frank Sinatra ‘I did it My
Way’ was played during the
flower laying by the family
The funeral service concluded
with the WW2 song ‘We’ll Meet
Again’ recorded by Vera Lynn
(born Vera Margaret Welch).
“Harry was of the generation that
saved the world for our children.
He was an ordinary man in an
extraordinary generation, the likes that
we will never see again,” said Ian.
Yes, Harry was of an era that many
today cannot comprehend. He grew
up in the Great Depression, WW2
and the hard times of the 1950s.
Harry was a product of history and
his time. He was an eye-witness to
Australia’s major events of the 20th
Century.
The funeral service was led by Father
Frank Vaughan Rtd who was for many
years the parish priest at the Queen of
Peace Catholic Church Normanhurst.
The service was provided by Albert &
Meyer of Thornleigh.
The Fox family would like to sincerely
thank all for the love, care and
support shown by your kind gestures
of sympathy.
