Eddie Fox Remembered

First Friday Letter
The World Methodist Council
September 2021

As Bishop Ivan Abrahams greeted those attending the service for the Rev. Dr. H. Eddie Fox on behalf of the World Methodist Council, he said he celebrated the life and witness of this teacher, mentor, icon and friend, noting that none was more committed than Eddie. He said that his wise counsel, passion, and razor-sharp wit along with his treasure- trove of stories would long influence the Methodist family. He thanked wife Mary Nell and the family for sharing Eddie, explaining that they were owed a debt of gratitude as many lives had been transformed and enriched by Eddie.

Bishop Abrahams joins the WMC family in praying for the Fox family and who continue to deal with the loss of a husband, father, grandfather and close friend.

A number of others who have been part of the World Methodist Council paid tribute including Bishop Michael Watson who delivered the gospel message, Rev. Dr. Maxie Dunnam, Rev. Allen Black, Rev. Grace Imathiu, and Bishop Darryl Starnes.

Bishop Ivan Abrahams brought greetings from the President, officers, members and staff of the World Methodist Council to the family and friends of the late Rev. Dr. H. Eddie Fox. He joined a
number of others in the Methodist family who remembers the many contributions Fox made.

Members of the WMC Steering Committee Bishop Ivan Abrahams, Rev. Dr. Kimberly Resiman and Bishop Darry Starnes greet each other at the memorial service of the late Rev. Fox.
