Thomas Fox, physician and civic leader
Dr. Thomas E. Fox didn't like being called doctor. He was a general practitioner in Mason, Ohio, who still made house calls.
"He probably delivered most of the people in Mason and most of their children," said Mike Ryan, an old friend and co-owner of the Shorten & Ryan Funeral Home.

The physician was citizen of the year in Mason in 1974.
"I don't know when he slept," said Ryan.
"He was one of the first people to have a pig valve in his heart 18 years ago, and it wasn't supposed to last as long as it did."
Dr. Fox saw action in the Pacific during World War II as a pharmacist mate in the U.S. Navy and was awarded two Bronze Stars. He was personal secretary for the commanding officer of the U.S. Naval Hospital in Great Lakes, Ill.
The Lancaster, Ohio, native was a graduate of Xavier University and the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. He was a trustee of the Warren County Mental Health Association, board member of First Mason Bank and American Heart Association and past president of the Kiwanis Club.

J. Berry Sr., Yellow Pages founder
John Berry Sr. followed in his father's footsteps and took a small Dayton, Ohio, company that made telephone directories for businesses and turned it into an international firm that developed and produced the Yellow Pages.
When Mr. Berry took over the business in 1946, the company had 50 employees and $2 million in annual revenue. By 1986, it had grown to nearly 3,000 employees and was generating more than $1 billion in revenue a year.
Mr. Berry, who owned the L.M. Berry and Co., died Wednesday of complications of congestive heart failure.
Last year, Forbes magazine ranked Mr. Berry among the 400 richest Americans, with a fortune valued at $750 million. The magazine said he was the ninth wealthiest Ohioan and the 240th richest man in the nation.
Mr. Berry's son, John Jr., said his father gave the company its worldwide reach in a collaboration that led to the formation of ITT World Directories, which within 15 years became the largest Yellow Pages company outside the United States. By the time of the company's sale to BellSouth in 1986, its revenues had topped $1 billion, the younger Berry said.
A substantial portion of Mr. Berry's money went to his alma mater, Dartmouth College, and to the University of Dayton. Berry, a 1944 Dartmouth graduate, donated $27.5 million for a new library in 1992, and his contribution in the 1980s help the school build a new sports center that bears his name.
Berry is survived by his wife, Marilynn, and four other sons, George, David, Charles and Richard.
A funeral is scheduled for 2 p.m. Saturday at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Oakwood, a Dayton suburb. No visitation.
