(July 29 - 6:50 a.m.) Norm Chandler Fox was removed from life support on Thursday, July 15, 2010. Norm had travel shows at KABC and 710/KMPC during its Talk radio days.

From the LA Times obituary: “Norm, a very private person who refused to be labeled and did not want to be pitied, told no one and quietly suffered greatly from many aspects of Parkinson's Disease for over fifteen years. Even when his increasingly compromised condition became more difficult to hide, he lived to the fullest of his ability. A week following an urgent operation to save his eyesight, he tripped and fell in his home, was rushed into neurosurgery, but never regained consciousness.

Norm, a psychology major at Harvard went on to earn Masters Degrees at both Columbia University and The London School of Economics. He developed his passion for traveling during his term breaks in London with extended trips throughout Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa.

Norm began writing travel columns for Los Angeles Magazine where he became a contributing editor. He subsequently wrote for The Hollywood Reporter, Travel & Leisure, Food & Wine, Bon Appetit, Pleasures of Japan, Bel Air, Westways and was Travel & Dining Editor of Performing Arts Magazine. He became a syndicated travel columnist for the Copley News Service with two weekly columns in 400 newspapers nationwide reaching 6 million readers.

Norm Fox was one of the nicest, most listenable hosts ever, on any radio station.
