Personal Life
Virgil Fox (The Dish): An Irreverent Biography of the Great American Organist by Marshall Yaeger and Richard Torrence (2001), a compendium of reminiscences by contemporaries of Virgil Fox, included an unpublished autobiography by Ted Alan Worth, a student of his. Worth wrote of Fox's sexual orientation, "To anyone who was gay, there was no question as to what Virgil was." One review of The Dish stated, "Fox’s homosexuality, and its implications on his life, is dealt with in admirably straightforward terms."
Fox lived for many years in a 26-room mansion in Englewood, New Jersey.
