A short obituary in the Sydney Morning Herald stated:

Dr John Fox, of Randwick and Darlinghurst … practised homœopathy in Sydney for more than 50 years. He was a member of the Churches of Christ, and was closely associated with the work of that church at Lilyville (now South Kensington). He later transferred his membership to the City Temple. He served on various State committees of the Churches of Christ, and was a liberal supporter of the various home and oversea missionary enterprises.
