Connecticut TV Meteorologist Geoff Fox Dies at 75 After Pancreatic Cancer Recurs

His family announced the death on Facebook following his September decision to enter at-home hospice.

Overview

  • His wife, Helaine, said he died in his sleep Tuesday night and thanked viewers for their support during his illness.
  • Fox first disclosed pancreatic cancer in 2016; September PET scans showed new growths on his liver, lungs and pancreas, leaving him too weak for further chemotherapy.
  • He joined WTNH in 1984 and spent nearly three decades forecasting in Connecticut, later moving to FOX61 and hosting Inside Space on Syfy.
  • After relocating to California, he built a home studio to continue delivering weathercasts for stations locally and nationwide.
  • He is survived by his wife, Helaine, and daughter, Stef, and his family said he wished to be cremated with no fanfare.
