James Frederick Johncox
December 15, 1925 — March 18, 2019
Rochester, NY, Born Dec. 15, 1925 died Mar. 18, 2019, age 93. Fred was predeceased by his beloved wife, Anne and parents Stephen and Elsie.
Fred is survived by his brother William (Marlea) Johncox, son, Tom (Kathy) Johncox, daughters, Cindy (Norm) Wingerden and Lisa (Scott) Templar; grandchildren, Steven, Jeremiah, Rebekah, Joshua, Danielle, Erin, Peter, Julia, and Sarah; 13 great-grandchildren; 3 nieces, Karen, Debbie, and Michelle and nephew, Rob Lighthouse.
Fred was born in Shawville, Quebec, Canada. He served in the U.S. Navy from 1944-46 and earned his U.S. Citizenship upon discharge. His working career was spent at Olin Chemical. Upon retirement, Fred and Anne moved to Angelica, NY and thoroughly enjoyed country life. Fred loved game bird hunting, especially pheasant and quail, and he had a succession of hunting dogs he enjoyed training. He also had a lifelong interest in environmental conservation. He loved nothing more than playing with his grandchildren and taking them on nature walks on his property. He also lived for a time in Wayland and Dansville, NY, and made many friends there.
Our family would like to express our sincere appreciation to the outstanding staff at Rochester Presbyterian Home, especially all the staff on the 3rd floor. They truly became Fred's "other" family, as he spent his last 5 ½ years in their dedicated and loving care. We will never forget all you did for him.
Interment will be at White Haven Memorial Park, where a private memorial service will be held.
Contributions in his memory may be made to the Alzheimer's Association, 435 E. Henrietta Rd. Rochester, NY 14620 or to the Nature Conservancy of Central and Western New York, 284 North Goodman Street, Suite B261, Rochester, NY 14607, or to a charity of your choice.
