One of the most talented and beloved members of The 5th Dementia band has passed away. Ed Fox will be remembered as a fun loving, warm, ever-present friend to all. His booming voice, with perfect pitch, could be heard leading the group every week at rehearsals and then again online during the tri-weekly Zoom sessions. He will be missed.
We interviewed Ed and his wife of 56 years, Lorraine, back in 2017 for The 5th Dementia Documentary. Ed didn’t make the cut because he insisted that he did not have any neurodegenerative issues. So this is Ed’s premier of sorts!
Here is a clip of a poem he put to the tune of Some Sunday Morning around the time he joined the group. Little did he know that his words would fit our film perfectly. Sing it Ed!
