Caleb Fellows Fox III ’35
Cabe died Nov. 3, 1995, of a cancer which he had looked calmly in the eye for a year, during which he continued to amuse his large circle of friends with his contagious humor, and to enjoy his favorite pastimes of bridge and golf.
Cabe prepped at St. Paul's, where he was a Ferguson Scholar and outstanding athlete. At Princeton he was on the baseball and squash teams, and a member of Cap and Gown. He and Sandy Thomas were roommates, joined by Hunter Moss in junior year.
Leaving us before graduation, Cabe married Mary Austin Phipps, of Tuxedo Park. Varied experience as a sales executive led to a career in banking, where he became senior v.p. of Fidelity-Philadelphia Trust Co. During WWII, he had important duties in the army ordnance department.
Surviving are his wife of 61 years, Phippie, daughter Mary Baurmeister, son Caleb IV, sister Helen Delafield, younger brother Bernhard, five grandsons, and two great-grandchildren. To them, the class extends its deepest sympathy, along with a shared sense of loss.
