HARTFORD, Conn. — The family of Geoff Fox, a longtime meteorologist on Connecticut TV news, confirmed Wednesday that he has passed away.

"I'm sorry to say Geoff lost his battle last night and passed away in his sleep. All the thoughts, prayers and memories you posted kept Geoff going these past few months. He really was grateful for the connection he shared with all of you," a loved one said on Geoff's Facebook page Wednesday.

For many people, Geoff Fox was the weather.

He was on the air in Connecticut for nearly 30 years, forecasting great days and bad. His passion for the weather and easy-going style was a hit with viewers. Fox shared that style on a national scale with ‘Good Morning America’ as a fill in meteorologist, and host of ‘Inside Space’ for what is now called SYFY.
