took an official email from the Governor General’s
office to convince him otherwise. Foxcroft says,
“When I got the email, I realized maybe it wasn’t a
prank. I didn’t think I measured up to the previous
award winners who were successful in medicine,
engineering, world affairs. But I guess I did.”
With an average workweek of 80-100 hours, the
75-year old Foxcroft doesn’t have a lot of spare time
on his hands. However, he has solved the problem
of finding time for family by bringing them all into
the business. Foxcroft’s wife has worked for Fluke
from the very beginning and still works there in
Finance and Administration, and his son Steve is

Fluke’s Senior Vice President and Assistant General
Manager. His son Dave is the President of Fox 40
and his other son Ronnie is in Sales, Marketing and
Product Development for the company. He sees
them all, every day.
And he has no plans of quitting any time soon.
When asked about thoughts of retirement, Foxcroft
said, “Oh, never. That scares me to death. I have
too much to accomplish. I want to watch my people
achieve. And I need to learn more about technology
and become a better writer.”
