Read More	Herman Fox, 96, formerly of Billings, passed away peacefully, in the company of Irene, his wife of 72 years at the Eastern Montana Veteran's Home in Glendive on Saturday, July 20, 2013. Herman was born to Philip and Mary Elizabeth (Frank) Fox Nov. 2, 1916, in Laurel. Growing up on the family sugar beet farm, he learned to work at an early age. On Feb. 23, 1941, Herman married Irene Hebner in Park City. That union eventually produced son Herman Richard and daughters Mary Elizabeth and Victoria Susan. With the onslaught of WWII, Herman joined the Army in December of 1942. Six months later he was deployed to the South Pacific. During combat action in April 1945, Herman demonstrated exemplary action in ground combat and was awarded the Bronze Star Medal. During action in northern Luzon, Philippine Islands in June 1945, he eliminated an enemy machine gun, single-handedly. For this gallantry in action, Herman was awarded the Silver Star Medal. Following discharge from the Army in November of 1945, he worked for the Northern Pacific Railroad and O.M. Wold International Harvester as a mechanic. He honed his mechanical skills with some vocational training at Rocky Mountain College. Herman began working for the Yellowstone County Weed Control Board in 1952. In 1960, he was appointed supervisor of the weed control department and remained in that position until his retirement in 1979. Herman was an avid shooter and hand-loaded nearly all the ammunition that he used, winning many target-shooting contests. He was a charter member of the Yellowstone Rifle Club. He also loved camping, hunting, and fishing. Herman invented the words conserve and recycle. He could repair and use nearly any mechanical object that others had discarded as being beyond repair. He built his own home, doing all the carpentry, electrical and plumbing work with his own hands, as time and funding allowed. Herman was very frugal, providing his family with life's necessities, with few extravagances. He is survived by his wife of 72 years, currently residing in the Eastern Montana Veterans Home; his son Herman Richard Fox of Billings; daughters Mary Elizabeth (Jon) Mill of Bismarck, N.D., and Victoria Susan Fox, of Billings. He also leaves three grandchildren, Katie Hauer, of Helena, Holly Littlepage, of Billings, and Danielle Cook, of Phoenix, Ariz.; four great-grandchildren, Abby and Brooke Hauer, of Helena and Gallatin and Jackson Cook, of Phoenix. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Monday, July 29, at the Rock Church in Laurel. On-line condolences may be shared with Herman's family at www.remingtonletcherfuneralservices.com.
